Griffin Lumber & Hardware Corporate Office

Griffin Lumber & Hardware, founded in 1898 as Cordele Sash, Door and Lumber Company, has been a locally-owned family business, providing building materials to south Georgia. Over the years, the business has expanded, including the addition of new locations in Leesburg, Tifton, Griffin, Forsyth, Milledgeville, Warner Robins, and St. Marys.

Our esteemed window, sash, and door craft shop, retail store location on 9th Avenue, and a big band sawmill which operated behind the store on 8th Avenue were the initial components of our business. However, the sawmill caught fire and was completely destroyed in 1958. When rebuilt, it was relocated to Highway 41, just south of the Cordele Farmers' Market. The retail store continued to operate in its original location. In 1977, the sawmill and the retail store were acquired by Griffin Lumber Company, and in 1980, a new retail store location was built on 8th Avenue Connector in Cordele.

In 2007, the Griffin family patriarch, William Henry (Bill) Griffin, Jr., assumed management upon the retirement of a life-long manager until his youngest grandson, C.J. Griffin, assumed management of the operation in 2008. In 2013, Cordele Sash, Door and Lumber Company changed its name to Griffin Lumber & Hardware in order to better reflect its expansion.
