Mead Lumber

At Knecht Home Center and Mead Lumber, quality products and impeccable service are our trademark. Top-notch professional contractors in the areas we serve rely on us for all their building materials. We are proud to be known as the “helpful hometown home center” in our region. Our service traditions go back to 1928, when John Knecht opened his first lumber store in Rapid City, South Dakota. Knecht has expanded the company over eight decades, in parallel with the growth of the Black Hills area. Always civic-minded, the Knecht’s have been pillars of the community during good times and bad. For example, they provided equipment and labor to help neighbors after the historic ’72 flood. We’ll always strive to be a community first retailer and build relationships with those we are fortunate enough to call friends and customers.
