More WIRE STORIES about this company

 PROFILE
Wickes wonders why professional builders "wood" buy their lumber anyplace else. The company operates more than 100 building supply centers in some 25 states, primarily in the Midwest. Its outlets sell wood (about one-third of sales), building supplies (another one-third), and hardlines such as paint, tools, plumbing supplies, light fixtures, and floor coverings. Wickes also makes pre-hung doors, trusses, and framed wall panels. The company targets professional contractors (who account for 90% of sales) and do-it-yourself customers. Chairman, president, and CEO Steven Wilson's Riverside Group holding company owns about 35% of Wickes.
