M&M Lumber usually has around 20 employees on site at a time and the team has over 400 years of lumber and building material experience combined. The company offers services such as special orders, delivery and more to its customers. The lumberyard is split by a railroad, which allows for easy product deliveries of lumber. The business has also found ways to reduce waste; it repurposes scraps and damaged products into sellable products, like shims, when it can.
In 2017, a tornado hit Tulsa, Oklahoma, and it greatly impacted M&M Lumber, damaging some of its structures in the lumberyard. But, its employees were quick to show up and assess the damage, coming together to make the business operable within a few days.
“Our team was so amazing when the tornado hit,” says McKellar. “They jumped in and helped in any way they could. We are so lucky to have the staff that we do.”
