US LBM is at it again

US LBM is adding yet another member to its family with the acquisition of Texas-based Parker's Building Supply.

The move will bolster US LBM's presence in Texas and California and enhance its ability to serve an expanding customer base in that area.

Former owner Scott Parker will continue in an advisory role, and Chris Miller will become president. Parker's will continue its relationship with its co-op and distributor, Do it Best Corp. Additionally, the move brings to US LBM the status as one of the largest Do it Best dealers in the country. 

"We're thrilled to join the US LBM team," said Parker. "Partnering with the right company will continue to position our brand for growth and presents a great opportunity for our associates."

Founded in 1930, Parker's Building Supply is based in Beaumont, Texas, and now operates 18 locations in Texas under the name of Parker's Building Supply and an additional four in Southern California under the Parker's Builders Supply name.

"Parker's business has experienced substantial growth in recent years," said Miller. "Our team continues its commitment of offering a unique customer experience, and is looking forward to continued support from US LBM to acquire and open new locations across the South and California."

"US LBM is proud to have partnered with such a well-known market leader in the South," said L.T. Gibson, president and CEO of US LBM. "We will support Parker's continued expansion efforts with new products as well as investment in locations and acquisitions. The addition of Parker's Building Supply will make US LBM one of the largest Do it Best dealers in the country."
