| | Home Channel News: 84-Plus Takes Aim At Rural Markets |
 | | That's how Maggie Hardy Magerko, the president of 84 Lumber, describes her company's latest prototype, 84-Plus Lumber, which debuted here and in Findley, Ohio, April 28 and will be rolled out aggressively by this pro dealer over the next few years. |
 | | Known for its no-frills lumberyards nestled in out-of-the-way places on the fringes of metro markets, 84 Lumber has developed a store with a conventional 10,000-square-foot enclosed lumberyard and a 10,600-square-foot, climate controlled showroom in which between 11,000 and 12,000 skus are displayed in a stylish racetrack layout. |
 | | Those familiar with 84 Lumber's typical environment were probably surprised to see a conventional checkout counter at the front of the 84-Plus showroom, and a Lennox air conditioning unit hooked up to the outside. |
