84 Lumber names new vice president of real estate, development
84 Lumber has promoted Bethany Cypher to vice president of real estate and development.
Cypher started with 84 Lumber in the purchasing department and was promoted several times with the company. She most recently served as 84 Lumber’s real estate and development director.
In her new role, Cypher will oversee the company’s real estate, design, permitting, engineering, and construction teams.
“At 84 Lumber, we aren’t just a building materials supplier. We are also a real estate and development company,” said 84 Lumber Chief Operating Officer Frank Cicero. “That’s why, with more than 15 years of real estate and development experience with 84 Lumber, Bethany has proven to be the best person for this new role. Her ability to build strong rapport in business relationships, sales transactions and negotiating skills will be a huge asset to our 2021 expansion plans.”
Cypher is leading the charge to invest capital to support 84 Lumber’s current successful stores and markets, the company said.
In addition to the company’s present thriving markets, 84 Lumber will be moving into new markets to help fuel future expansion plans. The company has a road map for the next 10 years, which includes new stores and component plants to new door shops and enginered wood product facilities, in addition to store relocations.
The pro dealer also said that as it continues to grow it will continue to hire new associates. The company is currently looking to fill hundreds of warehouse and manager trainee positions across the country.
Expansion truly breathes opportunity here at 84 Lumber, which means more positions and growth for our associates,” said Cicero. “We are the best in the industry because we have the greatest associates. The best is yet to come.”
Based in Eighty Four, Pa., 84 Lumber operates more than 250 locations across the country, including stores, component plants, door shops, millwork shops, and design centers.
