Strategic Partnerships Leverage Do it Best Group’s recent acquisitions and partnerships (including True Value, Questafoundation, Sherwin-Williams collaboration, and Estwing supplier ties) to position Estherville Building Center as a local integrator for exclusive product lines, co-branded promotions, and joint marketing initiatives that increase foot traffic and average order value.

Channel and Expansion Capitalize on the broader Do it Best ecosystem to offer bundled services and materials for larger renovation projects, design-build packages, and contractor-led bids, positioning Estherville as a preferred local partner within a growing national network.

Digital Growth Utilize the company’s tech stack and digital marketing presence (Microsoft Advertising, Quantcast, Gmail) to target contractor and DIY segments with personalized offers, project planning tools, and design services that convert inquiries into on-site material orders.

Financial Opportunity With revenue in the $1M–$10M range and a lean employee base, pursue high-margin, service-enabled upsell opportunities such as design consulting, project takeoffs, and premium finishing materials to improve basket size and customer lifetime value.

Competitive Positioning Differentiate as a locally owned full-service lumberyard offering design services and materials for all project types, and align with supplier partners and exclusive brands to compete against larger independents and big-box retailers while highlighting local expertise and personalized service.
