Texas Border Business
PHARR, Texas – Matt’s Building Materials is excited to invite the community to a special event that embodies the spirit of hope and resilience. The “Bless The Building” event will take place on Sunday, September 17th, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm at the construction site of their new store, located at 404 East Expressway 83 in Pharr, TX.
A Legacy of Service and Resilience
Matt’s Building Materials, also known as Matt’s Cash & Carry, has been a trusted name in the community since 1969. Known for their friendly service, affordable prices, and knowledgeable staff, the business has been an essential part of the Rio Grande Valley. In January 2022, their iconic store in Pharr was lost in a devastating fire. Determined to uphold their commitment to the community, the owners vowed to rebuild. After two years of dedication and hard work, the steel frame of the new building stands tall. They hope to reopen the store in early 2024.
An Opportunity to Share Hope
The “Bless The Building” event is a heartfelt thank you to the community for their unwavering support during this challenging journey. Matt’s Building Materials received thousands of messages of encouragement, which sustained them through tough times. Now, they want to offer the community a chance to put their own messages of hope and inspiration on the building.
Isaac Smith, co-owner of Matt’s Building Materials, shares his enthusiasm: “After almost two years of ups and downs, we are beyond excited to see the new store become a reality. We’ve been blessed with the support and encouragement from our community. It’s what kept us going when things were tough. We want to give them a chance to put their words on the building. It was their messages of support that helped us get through those first few months, and we would love for their words of encouragement to surround us every day while we work.”
