Team Hancock honored by Retail Association of Maine
Hancock Lumber, along with the company culture it maintains, has resulted in the prodealer being named the 2023 Maine Retailer of the Year.
On April 26, members of Hancock’s executive team and retail division leaders accepted the award from the Retail Association of Maine (RAM); a nonprofit organization that represents the retail merchant industry before elected officials for policy and voting decisions.
Each year the RAM recognizes a Maine retailer that the board feels runs an outstanding retail business and contributes to the community and common good of Maine.
The RAM tackles issues such as wage and hour issues, swipe fees, gift cards, worker’s compensation costs, employee benefits, health care costs, and taxes, along with other topics.
Last year, Hancock Lumber partnered with the RAM during “Maine to Ukraine” effort.
Team Hancock’s shipping and logistics team helped organize, ship, and deliver 40,000 pounds of humanitarian aid, donated from countless businesses across Maine, to the people of Ukraine.

The award was presented at “The Summit” event, hosted annually by multiple associations dedicated to the retail, hospitality, and grocery industries in Maine.
Hancock Lumber CEO Kevin Hancock was the keynote speaker at the day-long event which included business breakout sessions, lunch, and the awards portion.
The Casco, Maine-based prodealer was represented by 20 executive team members and retail division leaders.
The company has a strong reputation in Maine and was named a "Best Place to Work in Maine" for eight-straight years.
Hancock Lumber operates 11 lumberyards in Maine and New Hampshire in addition to 4 design showrooms, 4 sawmills, and its Mainely Trusses manufacturing facility in Fairfield.
