First Builders Express Unit

Builders Express launched its first store in Longview, Tx., with a grand opening Sept. 20.

Renovation of a location for the second store in Clarkesville. Tn.. is underway with an opening targeted for the end of November.

The company intends to carve a market niche in geographic areas with populations of 125,000 to 175,000 people. Sean Lee, president and ceo, refers to these markets as second-tier population centers.

Stores will encompass at least 60,000 sq. ft. of retail space to make them larger than most home improvement stores in areas of that size. They will inventory about 18,000 stock keeping units in building materials, lumber, hardware, flooring, plumbing, electrical fixtures and supplies, paint, wall coverings, furniture and lawn and garden products.

Jud E. Walford is executive vice president and coo. Frank Denny is chairman of the board.

New Name For Fonner Wickes

Leed's Building Products is the new name for Wickes Lumber Co. stores sold to Kenneth L. Miron and an investment group lead by Peter J. Solomon Co. Ltd.

Name changes will be phased in between now and January 1, according to the management. "With 37 facilities and 1989 revenues of $160 million, the new company will be a leading building products supplier in the southeast," Miron, who will be president and ceo, said. "We will concentrate on serving the professional contractor and on attracting commercial and light industrial customers."

The company plans to emphasize millwork products, such as kitchen cabinets, doors and windows and sub-components such as roof trusses and panels, he added. The 32 lumber centers and five support facilities retain the same management and staffs under the new ownership.

Home Cabinet Demand To Grow

Total denrand for kitchen and vanity cabinets is expected to be 49 nrillion units in 1990.
