Mead Lumber of North Platte

We go way beyond pizza parties: As employee-owners, everyone shares in our successes — with our stock ownership plan, you see it in your wallet, not the break room.

10/17/2026

Continuing our celebration of Employee Ownership Month, we’re highlighting what truly sets our culture apart. 🤝

Mead is a great place to work for a lot of reasons, and one of them is that it’s employee-owned — there’s a direct correlation between employees’ efforts and their financial rewards.

10/14/2026

At Mead Lumber, employees are owners —with employee stock options, the company’s success is their success, and vice-versa.

October is Employee Ownership Month, and at Mead Lumber and our family of brands, being 100% employee-owned isn't just a corporate structure, it's how we do business every day.

When our team members step into our stores, yards, and manufacturing facilities, they aren't just doing a job; they’re building their own future. From taking extra care with job site deliveries to giving expert advice at the counter, "thinking like an owner" translates directly into how we serve our customers and local communities.

Hear directly from our team about what employee ownership means to them and why being an ESOP makes Mead Lumber such a rewarding place to grow a career! 👇

🎤 Going once… going twice… Rob Palmer is at it again!

Mead Lumber of North Platte Manager Rob Palmer once again put his auctioneering talents to work in support of the Public Schools / Brady High School Booster Club! 👏

Auctioneering runs in the family for Rob—he learned the craft from his father—and today he continues that tradition by using his talent to give back to the community.

It’s a great example of one of Mead Lumber’s core values in action:

❤️ Investing Where We Live — bettering the communities we call home through our time, talent and resources.

When he’s not managing the lumberyard, Rob is apparently pretty comfortable behind an auction mic, too! 😄

Thanks, Rob, for sharing your talent and supporting local students. That’s Investing Where We Live!
