Family-owned Koopman Lumber of Whitinsville is building its first Cape Cod location and 12th overall at the former Antiques Center of Cape Cod in Dennis.
The new location is expected to open in April, according to a Monday press release from the company, and will feature an 8,759-square-foot store, a drive-through lumber yard, and two warehouses. It is expected to employ 20 people.
“We were excited when the opportunity presented itself to bring our family business to this community,” Tony Brookhouse, chief operating officer of Koopman Lumber, said in the press release. “The Antique Center was part of the local retail landscape for three decades. We look forward to being part of the community for years to come."
Koopman was founded in 1939 and is run by the third generation of owners, CEO Dirk Koopman; his sister, CFO Denise Brookhouse; and her husband, COO Tony Brookhouse. A fourth generation now operates in key roles within the company.
Kooopman operates 11 Massachusetts locations, including three full-line lumber, hardware, paint, lawn and garden stores in Whitinsville, Uxbridge, and North Grafton.
The company was named Best Family-owned Business by WBJ readers in 2023.
