During September 2021 we realized that we weren’t giving enough love and appreciation to our fantastic Dealers, so we made the decision to start featuring one Dealer a month within our monthly external newsletter. From October to now, we have featured so many amazing Dealers and what each of their companies stand for. We understand that sometimes emails go unread when life gets busy, so we also decided to share an entire blog dedicated to the Dealers that we have featured thus far!

OCTOBER FEATURED DEALER: Matthews Building Supply | Matthews, NC

Matthews Building Supply has been a long-time stocking SCREENEZE dealer, serving the Southeast Charlotte area for 52 years. They stock SCREENEZE in Bronze, White, and Sand. The initial business was started in 1969 by Pete Hulsey and is now run by his son, Bo Hulsey. Matthews Building Supply is unique because they are the only drive-thru warehouse in Charlotte and all three of their Outside Sales Representatives have been working there for 25 years or more. The two primary Distribution Partners that service them are Diamond Hill and BMD. On a humorous note, the long-time Purchasing Agent, George MacMillan, is considered the "Final Exam" for Distribution Representatives; most consider him to be like a mechanical bull in that, if you can stay on (in his office) for three minutes, it's a win!

NOVEMBER FEATURED DEALER: Pearland Lumber Company | Pearland, TX

The lumber company was originally chartered in May of 1952 under the name of Suttle Lumber Company. The name was changed in August of 1956 to Pearland Lumber Company and the Loessin Family purchased the company in June of 1958. At that time, there were four employees including a truck driver to make deliveries using the company's one and only truck. The original store was located on the southeast corner of Main and Orange streets and consisted of a small showroom, one office, and one lumber shed. The population of Pearland at that time was less than 1500 people. During the 1960s, the company began to grow and built additional warehouse space for expanded inventory. The company also purchased 10 lots at the corner of Houston and Orange streets to accommodate future growth. In 1966, the company joined Ace Hardware and is presently the oldest Ace affiliated store in Texas. During the 1970s, the company acquired 10 acres on the northeast corner of Main and Orange streets to prepare for a new facility. The company constructed two warehouses on the property and moved into the current showroom in June of 1979. Pearland Lumber & Ace Hardware has been part of the community for over 65 years and has been privileged to serve generations of loyal customers throughout the years.
