Mar Vista Lumber Rebuilding

In 1983 Mar Vista Lumber was totally destroyed by fire, with the structure reduced to rubble. Under the direction of two partners, Terry Laughlin, George Swartz and a dedicated crew, the business continued to operate.

The firm's customers are contractors, commercial, industrial and doit-yourselfers. In spite of spartan operating facilities, the company business continued. and flourished.

After more than two years of building moratoriums and property negotiations, a new store is under construction at the original site, 3860 Grandview Blvd., Mar Vista, Ca. The new building will be five times as large, but with the same friendly lumberyard look and feel that was created decades ago by George's father and Terry's father, the original founders of Mar Vista Lumber. The new building has been designed with the comfort of the customer as a prerequisite.

"There will be speedy service for those who request it," said partner, George Swartz, "But I will not have my customers mousetrapped through aisles of impulse traffic items and lined up like cattle at robot check-out stands."

"Our customer will be able to talk to our people," added Terry Laughlin, "Every customer will be greeted, acknowledged and leave with more than he came in witheven if he doesn't spend a cent."

The increased size of the store will allow for additional merchandise to be displayed and stocked. Lumber in redwood, fir, cedar and pine in long lengths, not found at the chain stores, will be carried in the store and in the lumberyard. Customers will be able to drive their cars and trucks through the indoor warehouse lanes for quick loading right from the lumber bins.

One of the largest kitchen design centers in the Los Angeles marketplace will be featured. Plumbing, electric, paint, hardware, tools, millwork, building materials, and fencing will all receive increased floor space. A new cutting room will offer customers the service of having their materials professionally cut to their exact specified dimensions.

Although the new Mar Vista Lumber will feature paneling, flooring and ceilings from the four corners of the earth, most of the manufactured brands will be American made. The merchandise selection is intended to cater to the professional craftsman who can recognize fine quality and good value.
