Grossman's Inc.
 PROFILE
Instead of pulling up and ordering fries, Grossman's drive-through customers order 2x4s. The company operates about 15 Contractors' Warehouse stores that sell lumber (via drive-through lumberyards), building materials, and electrical, lighting, and plumbing supplies to building professionals and contractors in California and the Midwest. The company also operates about 30 Grossman's Bargain Outlets and Mr. Seconds stores in Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, and Rhode Island that offer closeout and overstocked building materials and merchandise. Grossman's emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization in 1997 with the help of window and door manufacturer JELD-WEN, which owns more than half of the firm.
