Company History

The story began in 1957 when Charles and Agnes Kyhos opened a store on Main Street in downtown Mosinee. Their son, Charles Jr., bought the business in 1972 and moved it to its current Highway 153 location in 1979, allowing for significant growth. Now in its third generation, Jeff Kyhos and his wife Pamela own and operate the store. What started as a 3,200-square-foot shop is now a 20,000-square-foot home center, a member of the Do-It-Best Corp. cooperative.

Leadership

Owners Jeff and Pamela Kyhos are hands-on managers who work in the store daily, often alongside Jeff's father. Their philosophy is rooted in family values and community connection. They see customers as friends and neighbors, not just transactions. This personal investment drives their commitment to customer satisfaction and has guided their strategic investment into expanding service offerings over recent years.
