GAPCAP™ at Carter Lumber

GAPCAP™ has officially signed an agreement with Carter Lumber's corporate office, opening the door for any Carter Lumber location nationwide to carry GAPCAP™ products.

Where It Started

The first two Carter Lumber stores to carry GAPCAP™ were local — Fairview and Harbor Creek. Fairview gave GAPCAP™ its first real retail display, right next to the cash register, with staff telling every customer about it.

Harbor Creek took it further. No location has been more proactive or more generous with its support — the team called their friends at other Carter Lumber locations and helped GAPCAP™ get on shelves across the region. When the Erie Times News covered GAPCAP™, the photos were taken in the Harbor Creek store, because the team insisted.

That kind of local enthusiasm doesn't happen by accident, and it's exactly the proof point that makes a bigger conversation possible.

What the Agreement Means

With this new agreement, the decision to carry GAPCAP™ no longer has to happen store by store. Any Carter Lumber location that wants to bring GAPCAP™ onto its shelves now can, backed by an agreement with corporate rather than a one-off conversation with an individual store. For a two-year-old product company that started in a garage, that's a significant shift — the door is now open nationwide.

Getting this solution in front of more contractors, in more markets, is the whole point — and a national retail partner means more deck builders finding out about GAPCAP™ the way Fairview and Harbor Creek customers did.

GAPCAP™ has always been an Erie company by intention. This agreement doesn't change that — it just gives the product a much bigger stage to prove itself on, one Carter Lumber location at a time.
