Koopman opens on the Cape
Koopman Lumber has opened its first location on Cape Cod.
The company’s 12th overall location is situated in Dennis, Massachusetts, and features an 8,759-square-foot store. Additionally, the Dennis branch has a kitchen and bath showroom, a window and door showroom, and retail space for standard and seasonal hardware, power tools, grills, and decking.
The property also boasts a large 9,030-square-foot drive-through lumber yard with auto stack racking and two spacious warehouses totaling 4,759 square feet. Delivery is available throughout the Cape and all New England, Koopman Lumber said.
The building supplies and hardware dealer first announced in January that it would open on Cape Cod.
“We have spent months renovating the former Antique Center of Cape Cod property and can’t wait to welcome customers and meet more of our neighbors in Dennis and across the Cape,” said Tony Brookhouse, chief operating officer of Kopman Lumber. “We love to be part of communities that embrace independent family businesses.”
The store’s 3,750 square feet of showroom space includes working kitchens for demonstrations and events.
“The Cape isn't historically a commercial market, so we were excited when the opportunity presented itself to bring our family business to your community,” Brookhouse added.
In addition to serving homeowners and do-it-yourselfers, Koopman notes that it has extensive experience working with contractors, remodelers, and professional builders. The new location employs approximately 20 people.
Founded by Peter T. Koopman in 1939, Koopman is now co-owned by its third generation: Dirk Koopman, CEO; his sister, Denise Brookhouse, CFO; and her husband, Tony Brookhouse, COO. Dirk's son, Peter Koopman, and his daughter, Sarah Thomas, are in key roles within the organization as part of the fourth generation of the Koopman family.
Koopman Lumber’s 12 Massachusetts locations include three full-line lumber, hardware, paint, lawn, and garden stores in Whitinsville, Uxbridge, and North Grafton; one lumber, hardware, paint, and kitchen design center in Sharon; a full-service paint store in Milford; lumber yards and kitchen design centers in Hudson, Andover, Fairhaven, Indian Orchard, and Dennis; and distribution centers in Uxbridge and Sutton.
