Mill Creek Lumber and Supply in Wichita
During the great depression, in 1934, Pete Dunn opened a lumber company. In 1947 the name changed to Mill Creek, named for the creek that ran along the property. Pete’s son Jim took over the company in the early 1970s. Jeff Dunn, Pete Dunn’s grandson, has led the firm since 2003, with locations in Wichita, Tulsa and Oklahoma City. This Orgill dealer writes: “It takes the hiring and rewarding of outstanding people to grow and enjoy 90 years of business.”
