Central Builders Lumberworld Joins Home Hardware

Home Hardware Stores Limited recently announced it has acquired Lumberworld in Victoria, British Columbia, expanding its presence on Vancouver Island. Recently purchased by Central Builders Group, the store will operate as Central Builders Lumberworld.

“Choosing the right partner for our Lumberworld acquisition was important to us, and Home Hardware made sense because it shares our commitment to serving customers and supporting the communities we’re proud to be part of,” says Rick Fisher, dealer-owner. “Lumberworld has earned the trust of both homeowners and contractors over decades; bringing this location under the Home Hardware brand means we can keep delivering the service, products and expertise that both of these critical customer groups expect from us.”

Central Builders Group currently operates Home Hardware locations in Courtenay and Parksville, British Columbia.

“Home Hardware has had a long relationship with the Central Builders ownership group through their existing operations on Vancouver Island, and we’re pleased to support their growth under the Home Hardware brand with this new location,” says John Pierce, chief retail operations officer, Home Hardware Stores Limited. “Lumberworld has long been an important part of the Victoria market, supporting homeowners, builders and contractors throughout the region. We know that Home Hardware’s hardlines and building materials programs, built to support independent Dealers, will provide added value and help position this location for continued success.”

As part of Central Builders’ Home Hardware business, Lumberworld will continue providing the knowledgeable service and quality products customers have come to expect, while benefiting from the buying power, resources and support of Canada’s largest independent home improvement and building materials destination.
