Though recently opened, Hoosier Hardwood Supply products have already been featured at other local businesses, including Strong Art Gallery and Wordsmith Studio.

Owner Kevin Jansen is no stranger to this unique business. He has worked in the
hardwood industry for nearly a decade, serving contractors, hobbyists, and homeowners in purchasing hardwood materials for their projects. Jansen opened the new location after identifying a need in the community.

In many cases we can offer better quality materials for a lower cost than they can found elsewhere locally,” he says.
