The vision of one man to create a family legacy started in 1885 in Jonesboro, when P.C. Barton opened a small grocery store. As the needs of the community changed, P.C. shifted the business toward lumber and building materials, laying the foundation for a company that would grow and adapt for generations. Today, 140 years later, that same vision has become a community pillar and a thriving home improvement retail enterprise, operating three brands through continuous and consistent annual growth.
