Challenger
Building Supplies was opened in Lethbridge’s new industrial park by
Vince Toth in 1975.
It included a temporary office on 5 acres of land, 1 truck and 1
forklift.
As the company grew, a permanent building was built complete with
a full line truss plant.
With
the growth in all sectors of the city, Challenger’s reputation as an
industry leader also grew. Challenger joined forces with Tim-BrMart, the largest
buying group in Canada in 1981.
Today, Challenger Building
Supplies employs upwards of 35 full-time employees and stands as
the city’s only full-line dealer offering a complete package of
on-site materials, a 13,000 sq. ft. retail area, a 10,000 sq. ft. truss
plant and an 8,000 sq. ft. warehouse.
