V. Pelletier & Sons, as this corporation was initially named, was formed in 1936 by Victor Pelletier. Victor worked out of his garage as a plasterer and bricklayer to try and build a reputation and feed his family. As Victor's kids grew older, three sons, Norman, Louis, and Robert ventured into business with him to carry on the Pelletier name.

Each son developed his own division in the corporation. Norman was the plasterer and Louis was the bricklayer. Robert saw a promising future in drywall, which was a new product in the construction business that was quickly becoming the cost-effective alternative to horsehair plaster. After years of research and planning on his own, Robert started his own drywall construction division at V. Pelletier & Sons in 1960. As time went on and V. Pelletier & Sons grew, so did the facilities in which they operated from. The size of their current location enabled V. Pelletier & Sons to develop a secondary business which allowed them to stock and sell drywall and plaster materials to smaller contractors in quantities that other lumber yards could not do. All three brothers continued to run the business until the early 1980's when both Louis and Norman sold their shares to Robert.

Robert continued on with the business through the Northeast construction boom of the 1980's and quickly climbed to being one of the largest construction and supply companies in the Northeast. Toward the end of the 1980's, Robert decided that he had labored long enough in the construction business and in 1987 divided the contracting and supply business into two, selling the contracting business to his nephews Louis Jr. and Jeffrey and keeping the supply business and renaming the corporation Pelletier's Building Supply. Robert continued on with the supply business by appointing Jim Duprey as controller until David had graduated from college.

Once out of college, David developed a five-year business plan which entailed converting the facility into a full scale lumber and drywall yard. Lumber, roofing, millwork, cements, and a 7,000 sq. ft. home center would enable the corporation to service a larger variety of customers from the commercial contractor to the do-it-yourselfer. With the aid and expertise of everyone in the corporation, a relatively smooth transition was made into the retail/commercial lumber market. Furthering that move, Pelletier's open its second location in Gardner in 1998 with a 12,500 sq. ft. retail store and a five-acre yard.

The corporation has a history of constantly modifying itself to achieve a dominant presence in the market place. With the building supply market as volatile and competitive as it is today, Pelletier's Building Supply will continue to rely on its mission statement and experienced staff to propel them into the next century as an innovative and reliable source for building material.
