GR Mitchell

In an industry dominated by big box stores, GR Mitchell is a rarity: an independently owned building supply and hardware store that continues to grow and serve its community.

Established over 50 years ago on a foundation of small-town values and service, GR Mitchell continues to offer everyone from the professional builder to the DIY homeowner a wide assortment of quality products at an affordable price.

Willow Street-based GR Mitchell is best-known by many as a True Value retail hardware store. Covering over 11,000 square feet of home and hardware products, they offer handymen, painters, DIYers, gardeners and even grilling enthusiasts the supplies they need to get the job done. In addition to 50,000 stocked items, they have an expansive offering of special-order home maintenance and construction products.

But with a long history in the lumber and millwork business and a strong reputation with construction professionals, GR Mitchell’s building material supply business drives their day-to-day operations. Staffers service projects of any size: from large commercial builders needing full truckloads of material to beginning DIYers looking for advice. GR Mitchell’s showroom is also designed to cater to both pros and homeowners, providing an easy and inviting way to browse through trim, decking and railing, doors and windows, cabinetry and countertop options.

This year, GR Mitchell expanded its offerings even further with the acquisition of Ironstone Building Materials, a respected name in the supply industry for over two decades. With Ironstone as a GR Mitchell partner, customers have access to even more products, in particular decking and railing, flooring, interior and exterior trim, and a kitchen design center with many budget-friendly options. The combined buying power of these two successful businesses also means materials can be sourced at a lower cost, translating to lower consumer prices.

Add to that a best-in-class staff, from part-time store associates to a sought-after design team, and it’s no wonder GR Mitchell is a perennial favorite of LNP|LancasterOnline readers.
