New name, ownership announced at Lima Lumber Co.
LIMA — Lima Lumber Co., a fixture in the local lumber and building supply business for 75 years, is getting a new owner and a new name.
Mike Steiner and Kevin Gratz, who have owned the business at 1101 Delphos Ave. for the past 38 years, announced the sale of the business — and their pending retirements — in a statement re-leased Thursday.
Effective March 1 the ownership of the business will transfer to Doug Bruns under the name Lima Lumber Brick & Block.
Lima Lumber Co. was owned and operated for its first 37 years by the F.D. Wolfe family and for the past 38 years by Gratz and Steiner.
