Meet The Owners!
Glenn and Danette Miller are originally from Los Angeles, CA where they started working in the building material business in 1970 and 1976 respectively. They both learned from the bottom up in the drywall and plastering products manufacturing and distribution business.
As they grew up in this industry and honed their business skills, the Millers made the move to Arizona in 1980, where they were both promoted to the point that led them to go into business with a partner and start their first lumber company in 1983. After 10 years, with 20 combined years of hard work under their belt, it was time to start a company that they could call their own. In July of 1993 Miller Wholesale Lumber Company opened its doors.
Today Miller Wholesale Lumber Company is highly recognized as one of the best privately held lumber and building materials companies in the metro Phoenix market. Miller Wholesale Lumber Company is a company full of integrity, honesty and success. Miller Wholesale Lumber Company serves its customers needs with statewide delivery throughout the southwestern USA region.

In Memory of Scott Gates
Scott "Gator" Gates
With great sadness we would like to address the passing of Gator.
Gator started at Miller Wholesale Lumber in 1994 a year after our opening. Over time he became part of our family and an integral part of Miller Wholesale. He was a Titan in the lumber industry for over 50 years and will be missed by everyone he connect with. During this time, he supported the Fraternal Order of the Forest Products Industry named the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo. A loving father, grandfather, brother and employee his booming voice and infectious laugh will be sorely missed here. We wish the best for his friends and family during these hard times.
We miss you Gator, rest in peace.
