General Info

Griffin Lumber & Hardware was founded in 1898 as Cordele Sash, Door and Lumber Company, and has operated continuously since its founding. The business originally consisted of an esteemed window, sash, and door craft shop, a retail store location on 9th Avenue, and a big band sawmill which operated behind the store on 8th Avenue. In 1977, the sawmill and the retail store were acquired by Griffin Lumber Company, and in 1980 a new retail store location was built on 8th Avenue Connector in Cordele. In 2013, Cordele Sash, Door and Lumber Company changed its name to Griffin Lumber & Hardware in order to better reflect its expansion, most notably with the addition of a second location in Leesburg and a third location in Tifton, Georgia.
