Highlands Ranch, CO— Lawrence Johnson, owner of Carl’s Building Supply, and Kodiak Building Partners, headquartered here, recently announced the acquisition of Carl’s Building Supply. Carl’s was founded in 1947 and serves the lumber and hardware needs of builders and homeowners in the greater Olympic Peninsula market, in western Washington.

Carl’s will join the Retail Lumber and Gypsum group of Kodiak and will report to Pat Flood, Executive Vice President of this Kodiak segment.

Under Johnson and Rider’s leadership, the company has made succession planning in all areas of the company a core focus, always searching for ideas to improve their service offering.
