Since 1919, we’ve supplied Georgia’s builders, DIYers, and studios with what they need: fast, reliable, and right.
Founding Story
A century ago, when Tucker was little more than a stop between Lawrenceville and Atlanta, brothers Kelley and Reid Cofer hauled produce from their father’s Snellville farm to Atlanta, dreaming of success. In 1919, they borrowed $500 to open a small store on Tucker’s red clay main street, swapping butter, eggs, and chickens for goods while creating a hub for local farmers. With merchandise ranging from horse collars to overalls, their slogan—“Trade elsewhere and we both lose”—captured the spirit of their business. Over time, the store grew into seven locations, adding groceries, dry goods, and eventually building materials. In 1968, Gene Cofer became president, steering the company toward construction supplies as its core. By the 1990s, sales topped $30 million, and in 2000 Chip Cofer led the third generation into a new era. Today, with the fourth generation on board, Cofer Brothers Inc. continues to thrive, supplying modern building materials for a diverse trade.
