PRESCOTT – Gilbert’S Lumber & Supply has been named the February 2020 Business of the Month.

Gilbert’s Lumber & Supply, opened in 1950 by Frank Gilbert, will celebrate 70 years of serving Prescott and the surrounding area in 2020. The Gilbert family operated the business until 1994 when it was purchased by Donnie Steed, a long-time employee. In June of 2004, the business was purchased by Donnie and Diane Dillard, continuing to operate under the “Gilbert Lumber” name. In 2013, a new building was constructed beside the original building. This expanded the products offered to include outdoor supplies and equipment, flooring, hunting and fishing supplies such as: bait, licenses, and ammo, and a variety of feed, seed, and plants.  Gilbert Lumber employs an average of nine full-time employees as well as three part time. Much of the original structure remains including the drive through hall with lumber storage and outdoor open storage sheds. Gilbert Lumber and Supply looks forward to serving the community as we enter 2020.

Vince Grimes, Class of 2021 Chamber of Commerce Board of Director selected Gilbert’s Lumber & Supply as the February 2020 Business of the Month.
