Econo Lumber continued to grow and prosper through the ’90s. We built a new store right over our old building, expanding our floorspace an additional 8,650 sq. ft. We expanded our serviceable yard, added an additional 8,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space, expanded our delivery fleet and added a couple dozen new staff!

Econo Lumber saw rapid expansion in the new millennium. We added our 30,000 sq. ft. drive-thru warehouse in 2005 – the first of its kind in Saskatchewan. Our drive-thru warehouse ensures our building materials are dry and protected from the weather to guarantee the highest quality. Our customers can load their products, safe from the elements, year round.

Our warehouse includes the revolutionary Auto-Stac system, allowing our staff to access and stock products rapidly and safely! It’s the largest in Western Canada and has been featured in a number of contractor magazines in Canada and the USA.

In 2000, Econo was a major contributor to the fundraising for the E A Rawlinson Centre for the Arts, which awarded Vic the Samuel McLeod “Legacy” Award in 2002. In 2016, Vic won the Western Retail Lumber Association’s (WRLA) Industry Achievement Award for contributing to his business, the building supply industry, the WRLA and their community.
