84 Lumber was founded by Joe Hardy in 1956. The name comes from the town called Eighty Four, in Pennsylvania, where the company maintains its headquarters.
Today, the company has more than 310 locations in 30 states. Plans for expanding the business have been made, but exactly where new locations would be placed has not been made public. In addition to lumber, the company also carries doors, gardening supplies, and garage doors. Installation centers are available at almost every location.
The company was hit hard by the recession in 2008. From a maximum of 400 locations, owners closed half of their stores, as well as limiting family spending, and laying off employees. The company survived without filing for bankruptcy. In 2015, the company posted annual revenue of $2.5 billion.
In August 2023, 84 Lumber was named for the fourth consecutive year in the Inc. 5000 list of Fastest Growing Companies in the US.
In January 2023, the company announced that it had an aggressive expansion plan, remodeling or adding more than 50 locations and relocating at least 5 current locations.
84 Lumber is still owned and operated by the Hardy family. Headquarters, as well, remain in Eighty Four, Pennsylvania.
