Castle Growth Continues Nationwide
In December, Castle Building Centres Group announced another new member location, this time in Western Canada. Hayduk Lumber & Hardware Ltd is located in Calmar, Alberta in the heart of Alberta’s agriculture and oil field industries offering the very best of the Alberta Advantage. Owner Brent Hayduk is very proud of the store’s heritage. Originally established almost 90 years ago by his father, Brent took ownership 40 years ago and has built a thriving business that people in the community have come to know and trust.

Brent felt that his current buying group was more focused on head office growth than member growth, so he decided to explore his options. “When comparing buying groups, I recalled hearing a lot of really great things about the Castle buying group; I knew they would be more focused on my business.” Brent Hayduk, Owner

Hayduk Lumber & Hardware is a full-service lumber, building materials and hardware centre serving consumers and the local industry. Their move to Castle will begin with a re-branding of the store and the potential to add to their existing product assortment.

“Castle’s business model is focused on the future success of our members, above all else. We understand what our members need to be profitable and successful, and they know they can count on Castle. We welcome Hayduk Lumber & Hardware to the Castle family.” Ken Jenkins, Castle President

 

Castle Growth Continues Into New Year
On the heels of an unprecedented, record-breaking year, Castle is pleased to announce a new member location in Ontario. Mayer Hardware & Building Supplies, located in the town of Sioux Narrows, Ontario and nestles on the east shore of Lake of the Woods, is the newest LBM retailer to join the Castle group.

Mayer Hardware & Building Supplies is a retail hardware and home improvement centre that offers a full-service home improvement experience to the community and local area. Owners, Phil & Lauri Mayer believe exceptional service and competitive pricing is the key to success in the home improvement business and were discontent with the product assortment and level of support with their former group. They were looking for a member-centered relationship and the opportunity for more buying power.

“Joining the Castle buying group gives us the strength of one of the largest building materials buying groups in Canada. This translates into more competitive prices for our valued customers and allows us to remain independent and continue to focus on our community’s needs.” Lauri Mayer, Owner

The store will undergo some new branding and the management team is excited to begin a new chapter. They look forward to greater success as a Castle dealer.

“Castle’s business model is focused on the future success of our members, above all else. Independents have a choice when it comes to their buying group and they know they can count on Castle. We welcome Mayer Hardware & Building Supplies to the Castle Family.” Ken Jenkins, Castle President
