Pro X expansion gets industry attention
October 31, 2016
The successful grand opening and continued momentum of a new Bonners Ferry location has put Pro X Home Center in exclusive company within the home improvement industry. The recent expansion has transformed the business from a small-town lumber yard into a major regional center for do-it-yourselfers and contractors alike.

In addition to being locally owned since 2004, Pro X Home Center is a member-owner of Do it Best Corp., a $3 billion US-based hardware, lumber and building materials co-op with thousands of members across the United States and 52 other countries.

Do it Best Corp. featured Pro X and its new location in the co-op’s recently published 2016 annual report, one of only seven members from around the world to be featured. Specifically, the co-op featured Pro X Home Center for its beautiful and expansive location and the success it’s created for owners Jeff (pictured above) and Yolanda Brubaker.

“The all-new Pro X Home Center is not just an achievement for our family, but an accomplishment for our entire community throughout northern Idaho and stretching into Canada,” Jeff Brubaker said. “The customer response has been overwhelming. Our company has come a long way since its humble beginnings, but now we’re able to offer so much more than we could have ever imagined.”

Pro X began in 2004 as a home-based business building carports. As they brought in roofing and lumber supplies necessary for the business, contractors began asking them to stock additional supplies. They eventually moved to a facility that had a choppy interior and limited retail space.

As the company continued to grow, so too did the need for a larger, purpose-built facility. They acquired adjacent property to create the space necessary for the new home center and repurposed the previous building as a home décor showroom.

Pro X Home Center is located at 510374 US-95 in Bonners Ferry, and offers a full range of hardware products and services. For more information, visit prox.doitbest.com.
