MAGGIE
HARDY MAGERKO - PRESIDENT & OWNER
Maggie Hardy Magerko, appointed President of 84 Lumber Company in 1992,
is responsible for day-to-day operations for the company her father,
Joe
Hardy III, founded in 1956 in Eighty Four, Pennsylvania. Maggie began
training for this position when she was just five years-old, making
regular appearances at the corporate headquarters, accompanying her
father on site inspections of new properties and attending store visits.
In her early twenties, Maggie went to work at the Bridgeville,
Pennsylvania store to expand her knowledge of the daily store
operations.
Although Maggie’s personal style differs somewhat from her father’s, her
energetic approach and aggressive goals have been critical success
factors in 84 Lumber’s operation and growth. Maggie has made a number of
strategic moves to strengthen the company’s position as the leader in
professional contractor sales, striking the delicate balance between
maintaining 84 Lumber’s traditional approach to doing business, and
adapting to
meet the
ever-changing needs of the customer. Under Maggie’s guidance, 84 Lumber made
several strategic moves as the company refocused its concentration on its
original niche – the professional market. |
