Extends vast network of stores into Mississippi

With its acquisition of Huntington Lumber & Supply Co. in Hazlehurst, Nation’s Best enters Mississippi and adds to its growing network of stores across the US, bringing their total location count to 60.

“Huntington Lumber & Supply is very much in line with the type of home improvement stores we want to add to our growing family of businesses,” said Chris Miller, president & CEO of Nation’s Best. “Brothers John and David Huntington have run a beautiful store – clean, neat, and very orderly. They’ve kept up on their inventory control processes and have assembled an outstanding team. They have been ideal operators and we’re proud to welcome them to Nation’s Best.”

Founded in 1928, the home center has played a vital role in the growth and development of the Hazlehurst community. While a fire three years ago leveled the business, the Huntington family was committed to rebuilding bigger and better than ever. “While no one ever wants to experience the horror of a devastating fire, John and David took the opportunity to come back even stronger. They found a silver lining in the tragedy by building a thoroughly modern store that is beautifully laid out and appealing to a wide customer base,” added Miller.

As part of Nation’s Best’s strategy, Huntington Lumber & Supply Co. will maintain operations under their existing name with its team overseeing company operations alongside Nation’s Best, which will provide the strategic and financial support necessary to drive optimal growth and profitability.
