Founded in 1976 in Boise, Idaho, Franklin Building Supply’s operations still reflect the personal philosophies and values of its founders. Understanding that customers have a choice when selecting a source for building materials, the founders endeavored to make that choice easier by providing the highest quality materials and customer service in the industry. They focused on teaching their employees to think of the customers first.

The founders also encouraged employees to innovate and experiment with new ways to help customers succeed in their projects. To take its commitment to both its customers and employees to the next level, Franklin became an employee owned company in 2015. This move provides all employees with retirement benefits and creates an extra incentive to be the best possible partners and resources for our customers.  Franklin Building Supply founders knew that exceptional customer service is not a phrase but a culture that must be woven into the fabric of the company. It is that philosophy that has set Franklin Building Supply apart from its peers since the beginning.

Over the years, this focus on customer service has helped us expand the products, services and communities we serve. Our company carries the principles taught by our founders into the future as we continue to put integrity at the core of who we are and focus on the relationships with our customers, employees and vendors. We recognize that our clients depend on our expertise and our ability to work hard on their behalf. With consistency, integrity, and respect, we will continue to provide stellar customer service and superior quality products for decades to come.
