Lloyd Lumber was founded in 1946 by Robert Lloyd. In 1947, Alden “Bud” Bertrand joined the organization and served in many capacities, from being a truck driver and clerk to drafting and manager, eventually becoming president. Bud progressed swiftly.
In 1984, Bud Bertrand purchased Lloyd Lumber from Bob Lloyd. At the time, the company consisted of a truss manufacturing operation in North Mankato managed by Barry Bertrand and a retail lumber yard and hardware store managed by Mike Bertrand.
In 1989, they consolidated the operation at the North Mankato location. Since then, there have been numerous expansions and remodels to accommodate the company’s growth over the years as a reliable lumber supplier and building materials store.
