Stine, LLC

Stine, LLC, originally established as the "Starlin Lumber Company" in 1952, has a rich history stemming from its founders, J. W. Stine and J.C. Carlin, who initially formed the company to cater to their needs as residential building contractors. The company's evolution saw a significant shift as six of the Stine sons joined the business in 1966, leading to the name change to "Stine Lumber" in 1974. Their focus on the home improvement sector and the growing demand from homeowners and do-it-yourselfers led to the proliferation of Stine's retail business, accounting for about two-thirds of annual sales. Recognized as one of the Top-100 building materials dealers in America, Stine's successful association with Ace Hardware has further reinforced its market presence. Stine, LLC has a noteworthy presence in the retail industry, particularly in the United States, with a history that dates back to 1952. The company's strategic shift towards targeting the do-it-yourself market has contributed significantly to its retail success, making it a prominent player in the building materials sector. Moreover, Stine's association with Ace Hardware has further elevated its position, propelling it to the fourth rank among all 6,000 Ace retailers worldwide. As Stine continues to thrive and expand its retail footprint, its legacy and strategic partnerships position it as an attractive prospect for potential investors aiming to tap into the thriving retail and home improvement markets.
