In a generous gesture to mark its expansion into Kuna, Idaho, Fence & Lumber provided over 2,000 gallons of free gas to drivers in the Treasure Valley. This event took place on Friday, June 5th, and was a significant draw for the local community, causing traffic to stretch for miles along Meridian Road.

Community Engagement

Fence & Lumber, originally based in Backer City, Oregon, and Weiser, has opened a new premium cedar lumber liquidation location in Kuna. The company aimed to introduce itself to the community by offering free fuel, a move that resonated well with local residents. Owners Curtis Batho and Paige Williams personally pumped gas for those who lined up, creating an interactive and engaging atmosphere.

Despite some complaints about the traffic congestion, the overall sentiment on social media was one of gratitude. Many community members appreciated the company’s effort to give back during challenging economic times.

Future Plans

Looking ahead, Fence & Lumber plans to host a grand opening event on June 20th at their Kuna location. The celebration will feature major giveaways, food, and more, promising another opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the new business.

This initiative not only highlights the company’s commitment to the local community but also underscores the importance of supporting local businesses during economic hardships. Fence & Lumber’s approach serves as a reminder of the positive impact businesses can have when they prioritize community engagement and support.
