Exterior Supplier Adding Location #5:

Arrowhead Building Supply is opening its fifth location, a 4,000-sq. ft showroom with drive-thru warehouse and exterior drive-thru pickup window in Hollister, Mo., April 19.

A difficult economy was no deterrent, according to general manager Rick Pogue. "We did a lot of research," he said. "That area has no hometown supplier. Our specialty is speedy delivery, but we offer a wide variety of products as well."

Pogue said his store will be the first of its kind in the U.S. to offer "Service 3/15."

"If a builder needs a box of nails, he can call ahead, drive through our express lane, and never get out of the truck," Pogue said.

He also vowed to deliver anything stocked in its multiple warehouses to a jobsite within an 80 to 100 mile radius within three hours.
