New Koopman Lumber Location Soon to Open in Cape Cod

By   /  

Koopman Lumber, a family-owned and run business with 11 sites in Massachusetts, is constructing its first Cape Cod store.

The company has announced that renovations at the former Antique Center of Cape Cod in Dennis are underway, with an expected April opening.

“We were excited when the opportunity presented itself to bring our family business to this community,” Tony Brookhouse, COO of Koopman Lumber, stated.

“The Antique Center was part of the local retail landscape for three decades. We look forward to being part of the community for years to come.”

The new Koopman location will have an 8,759-square-foot store with a window and door display, as well as retail space for standard and seasonal hardware; a 9,030-square-foot drive-through lumber yard with auto stack racking; and two warehouse buildings totaling 4,759 square feet.

Koopman has vast expertise dealing with contractors and professional builders, in addition to servicing homeowners and do-it-yourselfers. The new location will employ around 20 individuals.

Koopman was founded in 1939 by Peter T. Koopman and is currently co-owned by its third generation: Dirk Koopman, CEO; his sister, Denise Brookhouse, CFO; and her husband, Tony Brookhouse, COO.

Dirk’s son, Peter Koopman, and his daughter, Sarah Thomas, are prominent members of the Koopman Family.

Three full-line lumber, hardware, paint, lawn and garden stores in Whitinsville, Uxbridge, and North Grafton; one lumber, hardware, paint, and kitchen design center in Sharon; a full-service paint store in Milford; lumber yards and kitchen design centers in Hudson, Andover, Fairhaven, and Indian Orchard; and distribution centers in Uxbridge and Sutton are among Koopman Lumber’s 11 Massachusetts locations.
