Located on the I-45 corridor about 40 miles north of downtown Houston, the Conroe facility is an 11.5-acre former Stock Building Supply site that includes 60,000 sq. ft. of warehouse, showroom and office space. Slated to open early this year, its product offerings will include dimensional lumber and lumber sheet goods, interior and exterior doors, millwork and other distributed building products.

 

It will complement the former Slone Lumber, Santa Fe, Tx., facility BFS bought in June. “Our recent acquisition was a major step into a market we feel has very strong growth prospects,” said c.e.o. Floyd Sherman. “The purchase of the Conroe facility increases our footprint within this market, allowing us to service our current customers from the north side, while providing us the opportunity to expand our customer base.”

 

The San Antonio facility sits on 15 rail-served acres, with approximately 90,000 sq. ft. of warehouse and office space, and multiple outside storage sheds. Products initially distributed from this location will include dimensional lumber and lumber sheet goods, but will eventually include interior and exterior doors, as well as millwork.

 

Sherman said, “The lease on our existing distribution facility, located on the northwest side of the market, was soon expiring. San Antonio is a very important market for us, and the Schertz facility is an excellent one, located in the heart of this expanding market. We feel very fortunate to have secured these prime facilities within two of the best housing markets in the United States.”
