Belletetes Inc., a fifth-generation family owned and operated lumber and building materials company headquartered in Jaffrey, acquired Bingham Lumber in Brookline on May 13. Mike Shea, president of Belletetes, says “the present Bingham Lumber location is nothing like the rest of our business model, it is a complimentary business, manufacturing custom wood flooring and processing reclaimed lumber which we plan to scale up through our existing business channel”.

Belletetes recently broke ground at their latest acquisition in Brookline, NH, with plans to build a new 20,000sqft building that will house a 15,000sqft hardware store, offices and lumber counter. Another addition to the site will be a 30,000sqft drive- thru lumberyard while continuing the current production of flooring, mouldings, etc. The store is expected to employ approximately 40 additional employees.

We are excited to begin construction of our new store in Brookline and can’t wait to offer our services and products to our new friends and neighbors. Belletetes, who is familiar with acquisitions, is endeavoring in uncharted territory by building a lumberyard from the ground up. It is a very exciting time for the Belletetes’ family and its team members. The prospective grand opening is scheduled for September 2025.

From humble beginnings in 1898 as a general store, Belletetes, with over 125 years

in business, has grown into one of the largest lumber and building materials retailers in the Northeast, servicing New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, and southern Maine. With ten locations across New Hampshire and Massachusetts, over 350

dedicated employees, and a fleet of over 70 delivery vehicles, the company believes in providing excellent customer service that creates long-lasting relationships.

Belletetes aligns itself with vendor partners who provide industry best brand products that its customers can depend on to perform.

Belletetes is committed to being a leading building materials company dedicated to providing our customers with quality products at fair prices. We strive to support our employees and the community, fostering a culture of excellence, trust and mutual growth.
