Hardware Retailing The Industry's Source for Insights and Information
R.P. Lumber, a family-owned, full-service retail home center and building materials supplier, announced its 89th retail location in Quincy, Illinois, which opens in early April.
“We’ve always wanted to have a store in Quincy, and we’re thrilled to finally have the opportunity,” says Robert L. Plummer, R.P. Lumber CEO. “Quincy is fortunate to be an exciting, growing community. Local leadership is doing a phenomenal job bringing opportunity to the area. Mayor Troup and his entire team have been welcoming and supportive. They clearly wanted to see more good jobs for the citizens and more options for the consumers. It was a refreshing experience to work with the City of Quincy on this great project.”
The new location will bring around 30 new jobs and will revitalize a vacant building. The company has been serving customers in the region for years, but the new Quincy location expands R.P. Lumber’s service area.
“We believe this new location is not only a win for our company but also for the community,” Plummer says. “Quincy is a wonderful community, and we are proud to be a part of its economic growth. We are committed to being a trusted partner for our customers, and we are excited to deliver our ‘Best Service. Best Value.’”
In addition to offering a full-service hardware store selling paint, power tools, plumbing, electrical, outdoor living and more, the store will feature an indoor lumberyard stocking a wide range of building materials such as lumber, drywall, roofing shingles and insulation.
