                                                                            Lambert Lumber







                                                             My family started our business in 1989. Over the years,
                                                             several companies offered to buy us out, but we weren’t
                                                             interested in selling the store without a plan for the future
                                                             and for our employees. When other groups approached us,
                                                             their perspective was always that their teams would come in
                                                             and ours would get out of the way.


                                                             Chris has a different way of doing things. With Nation’s
                                                             Best, Chris is much more focused on families and
                                                             employees. Our discussions with him were personal and
                                                             one-on-one, and we are still involved in nearly every
                                                             decision. That alone sets Nation’s Best apart.


                                                             Our employees also have so many

                                                             more opportunities now than they
                                                             would have otherwise. And the buying

                                                             power that came with Nation’s Best

                                                             has not only driven pricing down for

                                                             our customers, but has also decreased


                                                             delivery time.


                                                             It’s not leaving one family to join another company,
                                                             it’s simply joining a larger family. I’m thrilled with what
                                                             Nation’s Best has done with our business and I’m excited
                                                             to be a part of it.
