Franklin Building Supply, Boise, Id., has acquired Snake River Truss & Components, Idaho Falls, Id., expanding the chain into eastern Idaho.
A trusted name for more than 20 years, Snake River's facility will continue under Franklin ownership, with all current employees joining FBS as employee-owners.
"This acquisition is about building on a strong foundation," said Levi Smith, CEO of Franklin Building Supply. "Snake River Truss and Components has built an excellent reputation in Idaho Falls over the past 13 years, and we're committed to preserving what makes them successful while providing additional resources and opportunities for growth. We chose to acquire SRT rather than build from scratch because of the quality of their team, their customer relationships, and their operational excellence. This is a strategic investment in our future in eastern Idaho."
The acquisition complements FBS's recent opening of a lumber and building materials location in Idaho Falls in November 2025. With the addition of SRT's manufacturing capabilities, FBS says it can now offer full-service building materials solutions throughout the region.
"SRT has been built on a foundation of quality craftsmanship and strong relationships with our customers," said Dan West, owner of Snake River. "Franklin Building Supply shares our commitment to excellence and taking care of people. I'm confident that this partnership will create new opportunities for our team and allow us to serve our customers even better. FBS's resources and employee-ownership model will provide stability and growth potential that will benefit everyone involved."
FBS plans to open a new, larger location in Idaho Falls in the second quarter of 2027, which will integrate its lumber, building materials and truss operations. It will also be making strategic investments in the Snake River facility over the coming year to improve and expand manufacturing capabilities.
