CUSTOMER PROFILE
management wants has been a driving
force for Guadalupe Lumber in its
partnership with Blish-Mize.
The connections with the distributor
have made for a strong working
relationship, Grothues says.
Originally, it started with a few
Hardware House items, but Guadalupe
Lumber has since moved more and
more of its business to Blish-Mize.
Plumbing, lighting, vanities and
locksets have been productive items for
Grothues’ stores, but the relationship
has been just as important, he says.
“We like that Blish-Mize is family-owned
like us, and they’re so easy to work with.
They do a great job getting products and
orders to us, especially given how far
south we are,” Grothues says. “We like
that we can stay independent to run our
business with the freedom to make our
own decisions.”
One location of Guadalupe Lumber is decorated with several murals and paintings. The murals
are designed to portray the products featured in each area.
