R.P. Lumber opening Illinois store
R.P. Lumber, a family-owned retail home center and building materials supplier, is opening its 89th retail location at 3200 Broadway Street in Quincy, Illinois. The store will be opening the week of April 7.
"We've always wanted to have a store in Quincy, and we're thrilled to finally have the opportunity," said Robert L. Plummer, CEO of R.P. Lumber. “Quincy is fortunate to be an exciting, growing community. Local leadership is doing a phenomenal job bringing opportunity to the area. Mayor Troup and his entire team have been welcoming and supportive. They clearly wanted to see more good jobs for the citizens and more options for the consumers. It was a refreshing experience to work with the city of Quincy on this great project.”
As an Illinois-based company, R.P. Lumber says its new store will create nearly 30 new jobs and revitalize what had been a vacant building. "We believe that this new location is not only a win for our company, but also for the community," said Plummer. "Quincy is a wonderful community, and we are proud to be a part of its economic growth. We are committed to being a trusted partner for our customers."
In addition to offering delivery and a full-service hardware store selling paint, power tools, plumbing, electrical, outdoor living items and more, the store will feature an indoor lumber yard stocking a wide range of building materials like lumber, drywall, roofing shingles and insulation. R.P. Lumber says its Quincy team will be well positioned to assist with home improvement projects like doors, windows and millwork, as well as design guidance decking, post-frame building, cabinetry and countertop projects.
Founded in 1977 by Robert and Donna Plummer, R.P. Lumber has grown to become one of the largest independent home improvement retailers in the United States, with over 90 retail, design and manufacturing locations across six states.
