“This part of California is steeped in history—from the early days of the Gold Rush to the origins of a classic Mark Twain story,” said Chris Miller, president and CEO of Nation’s Best. “As we establish our presence in the state, it’s an appealing area to put down our roots. Calaveras Lumber and Sonora Lumber are well-run building material and hardware stores that are positioned for growth as they serve their communities.”
Second-generation family owner Mike Fullaway looks forward to staying on with Nation’s Best and working alongside his daughter Jodie Brixey.
“Our family has seen a lot of changes and growth in this business and community since my father, Wilbur Fullaway, started in 1976,” Fullaway and his wife Diane said in a statement issued by Nation’s Best. “We have valued the opportunity to serve our community, customers, and our employees.”
Fullaway also noted that “Partnering with Nation's Best is the next step in our journey. It will provide us the opportunity to grow, expand, and serve the communities and people we know and love.”
