STORE MANAGER: James Whiteside
GBS Building Supply’s Hendersonville store has serviced the Western North Carolina area for 30 years. This longevity, according to store manager James Whiteside, is all due to higher standards. “We have better service than the competition AND better materials,” he says. What’s more, “we also have the flexibility to order products that the big-boxes cannot provide.”
As part of a company-wide initiative, the Hendersonville location revamped as an “idea store” with a knowledge-based showroom where builders and remodelers can meet with clients to talk through ideas, view product options and make informed selections. Expanded display areas feature everything needed to build a home from the ground up: siding, roofing, windows, doors, cabinetry, countertops, trim work, flooring, decks, fencing and more. “We are well-versed in all of these areas,” Whiteside says.


“GBS has consistently supplied us with expert customer service. I have great confidence in their product knowledge and ability to provide us with a wide spectrum of quality building products. They both listen and advise, to help us get the best product to fit our particular needs. It is a pleasure to deal with a well-run company that instills the importance of customer service throughout its entire organization.”
