Aldrich Home Center has been a cornerstone of the Powell community, serving a mix of roughly 40% professional contractors and 60% do-it-yourselfers. The store features a 7,700 sq. ft. showroom and a fully operational lumberyard, providing a wide range of tools, building materials, and home improvement products.
With this acquisition, R.P. Lumber plans to retain the existing employees at Aldrich Home Center and expand both the branch’s inventory and job-site delivery service area. The addition of a third Wyoming location allows R.P. Lumber to further extend its reach and better serve the region.
Founded in 1977 in Staunton, Illinois, R.P. Lumber has grown into one of the largest independent building materials retailers in the country, with locations spanning Illinois, Missouri, Wyoming, Iowa, Wisconsin, and South Dakota.
