84 Lumber promoted Bethany Cypher to the role of vice president of real estate & development at the company. In the role, Cypher will oversee the company’s real estate, design, permitting, engineering, and construction teams.
“At 84 Lumber, we aren’t just a building materials supplier. We are also a real estate and development company,” 84 Lumber COO Frank Cicero said in a news release. “That’s why, with more than 15 years of real estate & development experience with 84 Lumber, Bethany has proven to be the best person for this new role. Her ability to build strong rapport in business relationships, sales transactions, and negotiating skills will be a huge asset to our 2021 expansion plans.”
Cypher started with 84 Lumber in the purchasing department and was promoted several times within the company, according to the news release. Most recently, Cypher served as the company’s real estate & development director.
84 Lumber said Cypher is “leading the charge to invest capital to support 84 Lumber’s current successful stores and markets.” The company said it is planning to move into new markets to help fuel future expansion plans. 84 Lumber’s road map for the next ten years includes new stores, component plants, door shops, EWP facilities, and store relocations.
“Expansion truly breathes opportunity here at 84 Lumber, which means more positions and growth for our associates,’ Cicero said. “We are the best in the industry because we have the greatest associates. The best is yet to come.”
Eighty Four, Pa.-based 84 Lumber ranked fourth on the 2020 ProSales 100. The dealer operates nearly 250 stores, components manufacturing plants, custom door shops, custom millwork shops, and engineered wood product centers in more than 30 states.
