Last year was one for the record books in many ways. Let’s take a moment to celebrate the biggest achievements across our company and the folks who led the way. It takes a strong team effort to bring in these results. Since we cannot list every person who contributed, we will applaud their leaders as the representative of these fine teams. The safety and health of all our people is most important. It is a constant focus of our efforts to improve. These locations and departments had zero DART incidents in 2020: OUR BEST RESULTS FOR 2020
CELEBRATING EACH OTHER

Many of our locations and departments had outstanding years measured in financial results. Seven locations set all-time sales records, and 17 departments did the same. Seven locations and 19 departments broke their records for gross profit dollars. One location and seven departments turned in best net income percent in history. The one location with record profit percentage was McCall. General Manager Ben Thomas will be the first to give all the credit to his team, which is appropriate because he does have a stellar crew. By any measure, McCall’s year was one for the ages. They led the company in working toward a zero-injury culture. The year’s sales were 23.9% above budget. The gross profit from those sales was in elite status among all locations and 32.5% above budget. Net income percent led the company at 13.8% and the net income dollars produced by McCall were 96.3% better than budget. Whew! Right alongside McCall in the amazing department is our other mountain store, situated in a section of Bellevue called Poverty Flats. General Manager Art Hazelbush and his partner in leadership, CSR Scott “Lumpy” Lovell, ran a fast ship all year long. Hardest hit early by the pandemic, including our only location impacted by a government shutdown of construction activities, the “dirty dozen” of Bellevue turned in sales that were 20.2% higher than budget, gross profit at 39.5% higher than budget, and a net income percent of 10.7% and profit dollars a whopping 170.8% higher than budget. They did all of this without a DART injury. This proves that there is magic in our Idaho mountains! In all, there were six locations with 2020 net income over the BHAG of 10%. In addition to McCall and Bellevue, they are Boise Truss (13.7%), Elko (13.4%), Jerome Truss (13.2%), and Fruitland (11.5%). Congratulations to all these fabulous teams.
“I wanted to give Shane Ellis a High Five. Shane is a hard worker and a good leader in the yard. He keeps his head up, even when the job gets hard, and helps others to be the best they can be. Thank you, Shane, for all that you do.”
–Lane Tibbett, Caldwell dispatch
“I have to send in a huge WOW High Five to the flooring ops manager, Jeff Bucklin. Once a month, he runs our morning team huddle here at Design Innovations and always does a really great job. He did an especially amazing job at our morning meeting today, and it really was a WOW for the entire group. Jeff sets the example for an employee-first culture, and it inspires the team.”
–Joey Enochson, Director of Ops
“Tim Flanery, Aaron Mariani, Peyton Ake, and Tom Mosgrove all stepped up to the plate in assisting me with stacking out product for our Friday Frenzy program. None of these individuals were asked to help; they just jumped in and did it. Many thanks to them for their help. It’s people like them that make this company so successful.”
–Dustin Bray, Product Coordinator
“Wow! I would like to give a big shout-out to Rusty Anderson and the insulation guys. By cleaning up some ticket issues and adding one more Cycle Count to the month, they have gone from reckless abandon to almost perfect! Keep up the good work men!”
–Jeff Thomas, General Manager, Fruitland
