About Us
We stand on the shoulders of those who came before us. This is our story.
It is a story about family first and foremost, of two families coming together. McMunn & Yates was formed in 1971 when Terry Yates and Stan and Gordon McMunn opened their first store in Dauphin, MB. With combined experience in both contract work and retail, this union of families put their faith in each other to build and rebuild something larger than themselves, now hundreds of families serving their local communities large and small. McMunn & Yates is committed to and believe in the hometown values and doing business with their friends and neighbors. We believe the "and" in McMunn & Yates is more than just a conjunction because without it, there are no connections and no commitment. We believe its this commitment to building strong, honest relationships that is the foundation upon which McMunn & Yates rests.
Today, McMunn & Yates has celebrated over 52 years in business and we are so much more than a lumber store. The McMunn & Yates Family of Divisions provide a spectrum of products from materials to professional design to flooring and furniture. Throughout the company, in each manufacturing plant and retail location, our vision and mission is to be the leading supplier of products and professional service to the building industry across the Prairies and Northwestern Ontario while providing the best customer service in the industry.
