Founded in 1941 by the Myrick family, Economy Supply Company is today the only remaining locally owned hometown building supply company in the Hattiesburg area.

How this family run business has flourished, when others have not, has more to do with the people who’ve operated Economy Supply than anything else. Located in a plain building in an “off the beaten path” location on Second Street just north of downtown Hattiesburg, this is one busy place! Many customers say they drive past at least three other building supply stores on there way to Economy Supply.
