Step Into an Established Lumber Yard Instead of Starting From Scratch

This is an opportunity to acquire an established lumber and building materials operation serving the greater New Orleans market. For a buyer looking to enter the industry or expand an existing operation, the business offers many of the assets and infrastructure that typically take years to assemble.

The business is supported by five experienced employees who handle all of the day-to-day operation, allowing the company to operate with limited owner involvement. The current owner has modernized the operation over the years, including implementation of an updated point-of-sale system and operational processes that help the business run efficiently.

Unlike many acquisitions where a buyer is purchasing little more than equipment, this opportunity includes an existing operation, experienced personnel, established workflows, and infrastructure already in place.

The seller is ideally seeking a majority partner but is also open to discussing a complete sale with the right buyer. Several potential strategic opportunities may exist for established building supply companies, contractors, construction firms, or regional operators looking to gain an immediate presence in the New Orleans market.



Included in the opportunity are valuable operating assets, including:

Two forklifts
Flatbed delivery truck
Dump-bed truck
One yard dog
Fenced yard infrastructure
Lumber storage structures
Domain name and website
Point-of-sale system and operational equipment


An additional advantage is flexibility. The real estate is leased rather than owned, and much of the physical infrastructure can potentially be dismantled and relocated if desired by a future owner.

The seller would like to retain the current workforce whenever possible, creating a smoother transition and preserving the operational knowledge already within the business.
