Through award, Texas says ‘Thank you’ to McCoy’s
A congressman and a senator from both sides of the aisle recognized McCoy’s Building Supply of San Marcos, Texas, for its contributions to Texas business history.
Representative Jason Isaac (R-Dripping Springs) and Senator Donna Campbell (R-New Braunfels) recently recognized McCoy’s Building Supply with a Texas Treasure Business Award from the Texas Historical Commission (THC).
The Texas Treasure Business Award program from the Texas Historical Commission pays tribute to businesses that have provided employment opportunities and support to the state’s economy for 50 years or more.
"McCoy's has been a pillar of Texas business since the 1920s, and it's only fitting that this true Texas Treasure be recognized for its contributions to the Lone Star State's economy and communities. Congratulations to the McCoy's family on receiving this historic recognition,” said Representative Isaac.
McCoy’s Building Supply, then McCoy Roofing Company, was started in 1927 by Frank McCoy in Galveston, Texas. In the 1940s, Frank's son, Emmett, took an active interest in the family business eventually becoming President of both McCoy Roofing and McCoy Supply Company which sold building materials to the general public.
“As a family business celebrating our 90th year, we are incredibly honored to receive the Texas Treasure Business Award,” said Brian McCoy who became CEO and president of the company in 2001. “Our valued customers served daily by our dedicated and loyal team have allowed McCoy’s to prosper in our great State of Texas.”
In 2005, Meagan McCoy Jones joined her father as the fourth generation to be involved with the company’s leadership. “McCoy’s is so proud to still be independent, family-owned, and be headquartered in Texas. It’s our commitment and desire to keep growing our business and impact in the communities we serve,” said Meagan McCoy Jones, executive VP and chief operating officer.
The company is no stranger to awards. In 2009, McCoy’s received the Pro Dealer of the Year award from Home Channel News, the forerunner of HBSDealer.
