Happen

Making Dreams Happen Corporation, a family-owned enterprise, proudly serves as the driving force behind two esteemed Home Improvement Retail locations in Akron, IA, and Crofton, NE. The corporation's inception took place in 2018 when Joe and Leah Van Walbeek made a pivotal decision to acquire the Akron Lumber Company, heralding a new era of turning aspirations into reality.

Ever since assuming ownership of Akron Lumber Company, Making Dreams Happen Corporation has tirelessly worked to create positive change within the Akron community. Their goal has been to foster strong partnerships with individuals and businesses in Akron and its surrounding areas, actively participating in the realization of their dreams. By employing innovative strategies and incorporating the valuable input from the community, the corporation has sought to redefine the role of a small business, transcending the conventional boundaries of a lumber yard.

In a bold move to expand their reach, Making Dreams Happen Corporation extended its operations to Crofton, NE, in 2022. This feat was accomplished through the acquisition of Crofton Lumber Company, operated by West-Hodson Lumber and Concrete Inc. Once again, the family-owned corporation showcased its unwavering commitment to empowering communities and making dreams come true.

Akron Lumber Company and Crofton Lumber Company, both home improvement stores, stand as beacons of possibility, dedicated to helping customers achieve their dreams. Beyond being mere lumber yards, they serve as comprehensive suppliers of plumbing, hardware, electrical components, tools, flooring, roofing, siding, windows, and doors, catering to a wide array of home improvement needs. Furthermore, the stores cater to the diverse needs of barns, shops, cabins, and businesses, showcasing their unwavering commitment to ensuring comprehensive customer satisfaction.
