CEO Peter Ganahl stated, “We first came to nearby Capistrano Beach in 1995, but even at that time our site was tired so we started looking for a different one. We spent many years looking and finally settled on this one after we were the successful bidder to the City of San Juan Capistrano in 2016. Over the past seven years, we have been working on all the processes from entitling, designing and constructing. It takes a lot of time and patience to bring a project like this to a successful conclusion. This new facility provides another location in our Southern California market to make our products and services easily accessible to our customers.”

The new complex spans more than ten acres and contains a 50,000-square-foot main store as well as a yard with an additional 100,000-square-foot drive-through materials storage, sheds, and operational facilities. To support the enhanced capabilities of the plant, all of the employee-owners who worked at the Capistrano Beach location are transferring to the new facility, along with several new hires and transfers from other Ganahl yards.

Ganahl COO Brad Satterfield stated that “Our Capistrano Beach facility has always been a beehive of activity but due to the space constraints, we were unable to stock the depth and breadth of inventory that our customers required. This required us to ship millions of feet of lumber and other building materials to our local customers from our other locations which cost our customers time and effort. In addition to a substantial increase in products and stocking volumes, our new San Juan Capistrano facility features a greatly expanded delivery fleet to increase number of same and next-day deliveries into the South Orange County and San Diego markets.”

“This was a big investment for our owners and we did not skimp out on design or materials. We put a lot of effort into making sure we had the right adjacencies and traffic flow to save our customers time. The site includes a dedicated traffic signal for easy access to the facility and we have wide drive aisles to help our customers navigate the yard without having to wait for vendors or other customers to load or unload. Additionally, we purposefully used high quality materials to save on maintenance costs over the long run,” remarked Dan Delaney, CFO of Ganahl Lumber.

Ganahl CSO Tom Barclay added, “We are excited to provide current South Orange County, and North County San Diego customers access to a significantly expanded offering along with our next iteration of facility design to help our customers quickly pick up the items they need and get back on the job.”
