  Business profile

  Parks Building Supply offers turn-key installation, work site clean up, building supplies and other services for contractors. Parks Building Supply was started in 1949 in Fayetteville, North Carolina, by Jack J. Parks and four employees. On January 1, 1950, the company was incorporated and has operated under that format since. The company was originally located at 300 Worth Street in a former cotton warehouse and operated there for 27 years furnishing a limited supply of doors, moldings, windows and sheetrock for local builders. In 1970, Edward D. "Chip" Parks, Jack's son, returned from his service in the U.S. Navy and joined his father in the business. The company continued to grow as a well-respected building supply business with a trusted and reliable commitment to its customers providing quality products and superior service with prompt delivery. Chip Parks acquired the company from his father and moved the location of the business to its present location at 2141 Owen Drive in Fayetteville. In 1976, Chip's brother, Gregory Parks, returned to Fayetteville and joined Parks as Vice President and lead salesman. Over the next 32 years, Parks Building Supply's growth and development was successfully aligned to the significant changes and challenges in the building supply industry as well as the growth of Fayetteville and surrounding communities. The company was managed solely by Chip Parks from 1972 until his death in 2005. Chip's son Toliver Parks successfully stepped into his father's position as President of the company and Chip's wife Janet Parks serves as CEO. Today the company is a full-service building supply company with over 20 employees, including a General Manager with over thirty years of industry experience, four key salesmen, four purchasing agents, two bookkeepers, a warehouse manager and a delivery team. Parks Building Supply is capable of fully servicing residential builders and commercial contractors.
