Builders Supply Co.

In 1951, Maury Udes began Builders Supply Company on 24th and Fort Street in Omaha, NE. Udes and a small staff began selling steel cabinets to home builders. Demand for building materials led Udes on a path to add more services and products. In a few short years, Builders Supply began selling lumber, trusses, millwork, windows, hardware, and kitchen cabinets. As the business grew, so did the inventory, staff, and a fleet of delivery trucks, this growth prompted the move to a large, undeveloped part of Omaha. By the mid-1950s, Builders Supply moved operations to 72nd and F Street, closer to where contractors and builders were developing West Omaha.
