Apr 11, 2016 | 6:21 AM

Whether you are browsing through the store or picking up materials from the drive through lumberyard Econo Lumber in Prince Albert is guaranteed to have the materials you need to complete your next project.

“We have way more inventory than anyone else in Prince Albert,” said Curtis Lemieux, owner of Econo Lumber. “When someone phones and says do you have this in stock?

We are usually able to say, “yes we do” and if we don’t we have a truck that goes to Saskatoon daily that will pick it up.”

Since opening its doors in 1971 Econo Lumber has continued to expand. As a result it has grown into the prominent successful business it is today at their third and current location at 1800 6th Ave E.

At Econo Lumber their plumbing display area offers the largest selection of taps, faucets and vanities in Prince Albert.

“We want to keep our customer here,” said Lemieux. “If they can find what they want at one location and if the prices and quality are good than there is no reason for them to shop elsewhere.”

“Over the last couple of years we have put two new buildings up. We added a heated bulk storage, an unheated bulk storage, plus we have added a bunch of new displays to our store.”

Today the store features a new 953 square foot kitchen display and design area, a 1,190 square foot window and door display area as well as a 1,435 square foot plumbing display area that offers the largest selection of taps, faucets and vanities in Prince Albert.
