2025 Supply Company of the Year – Entry 1

Building on a Legacy Though incorporated in 1969, GR Mitchell’s roots in the lumber industry date back to the late 1800s. Our legacy is grounded in the values of former owner Steve Mitchell, whose simple but powerful motto — “do right by people” — still drives our team today. More Than Lumber — We’re Your Building Partner What began with lumber has grown into a full-scale operation supporting home builders and remodelers across Central PA and beyond. From our custom millwork shop to showrooms featuring premium cabinetry, and our hardware store stocked with 50,000+ essentials, we are a one-stop solution for builders of all sizes. In March, we celebrated one year with our newest branch, Ironstone Building Materials. Our business has grown immensely with their additional product categories like decking, railing, flooring, bathroom vanities, and more — complementing GR Mitchell’s already vast offerings. This year, we integrated Ironstone’s inventory with a fully shoppable ecommerce website, which we plan to expand to include GR Mitchell’s full product assortment by 2026. The updated site hosts a brand-new customer portal, allowing builders to easily review and pay for orders in their own time. Together, we continue to improve both our product selection and customer convenience. Empowering Through Expertise We don’t just sell materials — we support builders with the knowledge and tools to grow their business. Our team stays sharp through weekly lunch-and-learns and continuous training from manufacturer reps. We share that knowledge directly to customers through emails, social media content, live product demos, and in-person events tailored to builders.
