EIGHTY FOUR, Pa. — 84 Lumber has opened two new locations in Colorado to expand its services to customers in the region.

The company opened an 18,324-square-foot store north of Denver in Greeley, Colorado. The new store, which includes a lumberyard, sits on 9.8 acres and has seven acres of rail service. The new lumberyard in Greeley will pair with the Denver lumberyard in servicing the Denver metro, the southern Denver area, and northern Colorado. This location will stock core homebuilding materials – similar to the Denver lumberyard’s inventory and services.

In addition, 84 Lumber has opened a new component plant in Fort Collins, Colorado. The 59,400-square-foot plant will expand the company's capacity to service customers in the market with custom-engineered trusses. 

84 Lumber is also working on opening another component plant in Fort Lupton, Colorado, as well as a store in Colorado Springs.

“We are excited to return to the area and are committed to expanding our presence in the western United States,” said Jorge Espinoza, 84 Lumber’s divisional vice president, who oversees all stores in the western United States, including all Colorado facilities. “The four Colorado locations are designed to work in conjunction, allowing 84 Lumber to offer a comprehensive range of products and services, from basic building materials to specialized engineered wood products, custom doors, and now, precision-manufactured trusses.”

The new store and component plant join other locations that 84 Lumber has established in the last two years to serve the Denver market. An 84,000-square-foot door shop in Commerce City, which opened in November 2023, specializes in supplying doors to the market, enhancing 84 Lumber’s ability to meet custom and standard door needs for contractors and homebuilders across the region. The company also operates a 6.8-acre, full-service lumberyard offering a wide range of building materials, including core homebuilding products, such as lumber, concrete siding, and laminated veneer lumber (LVLs). This location also provides engineered wood products (EWP) design and cut service, producing floors with long-span possibilities. Elsewhere in the state, 84 Lumber has been operating a store in Grand Junction, Colorado, since 1979.
