Busy Beaver

Busy Beaver was founded in 1962 with just three lumber yards located in Clairton, Verona and Carnegie, PA.  Back in those days, lumber, paint, hardware and gardening supplies typically weren’t sold in the same stores. It wasn’t until the early 70’s that full-line home improvement stores came into vogue. In 1975, Busy Beaver opened its first home improvement center in north suburban Pittsburgh. More consumer-oriented stores were subsequently added; and, at the start of 1984, the company was nearly equally divided in its number of home improvement centers compared to contractor-oriented lumber yards.

Currently, Busy Beaver operates 24 stores in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia and employs more than 400 people. We stand committed to providing legendary customer service and a customer-centric in-store experience at each of our neighborhood home improvement centers.
