Mead Lumber Unveils New-Look Colorado Location
Mead Lumber Company, a Nebraska-based employee-owned building material supplier with 56 locations across nine states, recently celebrated the grand reopening of Mead Lumber. The opening marks the completion of an eight-month remodel and the store’s conversion to an Ace Hardware retail store. Mead stocks the area’s best selection of framing lumber, boards and plywood, according to a company statement.
The Ace affiliation, per Mead, brings a significant expansion in what the Sterling store carries. Location Manager Liz Hines tripled the number of items on the shelves, added Sunday hours to move the store to a seven-day schedule, and expects to hire roughly 20 additional employees to staff the larger operation. The eight-month remodel also reset the retail floor from front to back and added a new showroom to the store.
Mead Lumber has served Sterling since 1959 and has operated from its current location at 265 E. Chestnut St. since 1995. Hines, who has managed the store for five years, is only the third manager in the location’s history.
