- Market Outlook / Competition
- Despite housing market swings, wood product sales stayed strong, hitting $26.7B nationally in Q4 2024—up 5.8% year-over-year. Producer prices rose 6.7% while employment fell 3.1%. The company stands out as the only local source for kiln-dried, surfaced live-edge slabs within 100 miles. Over 30% of current customers are repeat customers that comprise over 42% of all sales, proving the sustainability of revenue and very viable potential for growth on this foundation.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Significant growth potential exists through increased ties with designers and builders, enhanced online marketing and a considerable increase in on-site retail hours. Current retail hours consist of only 14 hours/week that the site is open to the public. These hours could easily be doubled, offering dramatic opportunity for increased sales. With 7% annual growth and 32% projected EBITDA, scaled marketing, partnerships, and e-commerce could realistically drive 15–20% annual growth on their own.
