A Legacy Built on Trust, Service, and Floyd Roots… your local go to for lumber and building supplies in Floyd, VA
In a town like Floyd, longevity means something. Businesses don’t last for generations unless they truly serve their people — and Wills Ridge Supply has been doing exactly that for NINE decades!
Located just outside “downtown” Floyd off of Route 8 on your way to Christiansburg, Wills Ridge Supply isn’t just a place to pick up lumber and building supplies or hardware. It’s a place where projects begin, advice is freely given, and neighbors are treated like family.
The Beginning Roots
The story of Wills Ridge Supply begins in 1947, when it first opened as Wills Ridge Service Station. Back then, it was the kind of country store that carried a little bit of everything — from daily necessities to hard‑to‑find supplies. I LOVE how they mention on their website it was they boasted “an inventory ranging from eggs to dynamite over the years”!
As we know, the businesses that survive are the ones that can pivot and adapt to an ever changing world. Over the years, as Floyd grew and changed, so did the business.
Today, Wills Ridge Supply is proudly operated by fourth‑generation owner Joseph Gallimore and his wife, Angie, continuing a family legacy rooted deeply in service, honesty, and community care. While the inventory has expanded and the operation has modernized, the heart of the business has stayed exactly the same.
More Than Supplies — It’s Service
Ask any local contractor or homeowner and you’ll hear the same thing: Wills Ridge Supply is known for its knowledgeable staff and personalized service.
From lumber, roofing, plumbing, and electrical supplies to insulation and specialty items, they carry what locals actually need — not just what looks good on a shelf. And if they don’t have it? They’ll help you find it, order it, or suggest a solution that makes sense for your project.
That level of care is becoming rare — and it’s exactly why Wills Ridge continues to be a trusted stop for generations of Floyd residents.
Staying Connected to the Community
Wills Ridge Supply doesn’t just serve the community — they stay connected to it. They celebrated 90 years of service this past year and did a huge customer appreciation event all week long! Their Facebook page offers a glimpse into everyday life at the store, from community involvement and local events to behind‑the‑scenes moments with the team.
It’s the kind of online presence that feels genuine — because it is. No flash, no gimmicks — just a local business showing up the same way they always have.
