Throwback Thursday is a regular weekly feature in which we dip into the archives of the Hardlines Weekly Report.
Ten years ago (on Nov. 24, 2014) we reported that Slegg Lumber, which had ten stores serving Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, had officially resigned from TIMBER MART (then known as TIM-BR MART). The switch took effect on Jan. 1, 2015. The reason for the change was that Slegg was in the process of being acquired by WSB Titan, a privately-owned gypsum dealer. Less than four years later, in 2018, WSB Titan itself would be purchased from Canadian hands by Gypsum Management & Supply Inc. of Tucker, Georgia, for US$627 million.
