Building materials suppliers 84 Lumber announced last Saturday the opening of its new, expanded location in Palmetto, Fla., about 15 miles north of Sarasota, with a circus-themed event at the site, located at 1315 17th Street East on Feb. 21.
In a Feb. 24 news release, 84 Lumber said the new location, formerly a Ringling Bros. property, has three 20,000-square-foot buildings on 10 acres. The company had previously operated out of a smaller facility in nearby Bradenton, directly south of Palmetto; the location employs more than 60 associates.
