Ernst Names Small Business of the Week, Marcus Lumber
Throughout this Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties.
RED OAK, Iowa – U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Chair of the Senate Small Business Committee, today announced her Small Business of the Week: Marcus Lumber of Cherokee County. Throughout the 119th Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in each of Iowa’s 99 counties.
“Marcus Lumber has nailed it when it comes to building a legacy of quality service,” said Chair Ernst. “They pride themselves on having a solid foundation and making a deep impact on the community. For over a century, they’ve hammered out success through hard work, innovation, and Iowa grit.”
Founded in 1920, Marcus Lumber has grown from a small-town lumberyard into a full-service home improvement business serving northwest Iowa. Now in its fourth generation of family ownership, the company has rebuilt after setbacks, expanded to multiple locations, and continues to give back to the community. With a team of nearly 60, they’ve truly raised the roof on home improvement across the state.
Stay tuned as Chair Ernst continues to recognize outstanding Iowa small businesses across the state with her Small Business of the Week award.
