In Connecticut, Ring's End Lumber adds ninth unit

Ring’s End, the Darien, Conn.-based pro dealer, has opened a new location called the Norwalk Paint & Design Center. It is the ninth unit in the lumberyard chain, which is spread throughout Connecticut and New York State.

The company also operates a retail paint and decor store in New London, Conn., according to its Web site.

The newest location, a former garden center, is 10,000 sq. ft. and will carry no bulk lumber, according to an article in the Connecticut Post. Benjamin Moore will establish one of its “signature stores” on the premises. Windows, doors and moldings will also be displayed in a showroom setting.

With an estimated $126 million in sales in 2008, Ring’s End held the 47th spot on the Home Channel News Top 350 Pro Dealer Scoreboard.
