East Texas Hardware Acquired by Nation’s Best

Date:

East Texas Hardware has been added to Nation’s Best’s growing family of businesses.

“This represents our second location in Kilgore, Texas, and with a number of Nation’s Best-owned stores already in Texas, the addition of East Texas Hardware strengthens our strategic foothold in the Kilgore area and the state,” remarked Matt Lambert, South-Central Region Regional Vice President of Nation’s Best.

“Owners Jimi and Tamara Mankins have built a formidable business, with nearly two decades of experience serving the Kilgore community. We are excited by the opportunities to leverage their know-how and grow the business even more.”

“We’ve put our heart and soul into serving our friends and neighbors since 2005. Knowing that Nation’s Best would secure the future of East Texas Hardware and its staff was very important to us,” the Mankins revealed.

“Years ago, Jimi used to work at nearby East Texas Lumber, another Nation’s Best-owned business, so we feel things are coming full circle.”

“We’re honored that the Mankins have put their faith in us to lead East Texas Hardware forward. We’re also looking forward to building on Jimi’s extensive experience and community relationships to solidify the store’s future for its many loyal customers and associates,” Lambert added.

As Nation’s Best expands its footprint in the state, East Texas Hardware joins Advanced Windows Systems, East Texas Lumber, Gilmer Lumber, Groom & Sons’, Hometown Building Centers, and Simms Lumber.

East Texas Hardware will continue to operate under its current identity as part of Nation’s Best’s strategy, with its senior leadership team overseeing company operations alongside Nation’s Best, which will provide strategic and financial assistance.
