Mead Lumber continues to grow its presence in Oklahoma with the addition of two locations in Guthrie. As of April 1, the company has acquired OHC Supply and Guthrie’s Ace Hardware from owner Bill VanSant. 
This expansion brings Mead Lumber to 56 locations across nine states and marks its second and third locations in Oklahoma. The company’s first Oklahoma location is in Ada.
Both OHC Supply and Guthrie’s Ace Hardware have long served the Guthrie community and surrounding area. Known for strong customer relationships and reliable service, these businesses align closely with Mead Lumber’s focus on supporting professional contractors, builders, remodelers, and homeowners.
“We are excited to welcome these locations to Mead Lumber,” said Dave Anderson, President and CEO. “This is an important step in our continued growth and strengthens our ability to serve customers in Oklahoma.” 
Customers can expect continuity. Bill VanSant will remain involved, and the current team will continue in their roles. Day-to-day operations will remain the same, ensuring a smooth transition for customers and employees.
As a 100% employee-owned company, Mead Lumber is committed to long-term investment in its people, its customers, and the communities it serves. The addition of these Guthrie locations supports that commitment and builds on a strong foundation already in place.
