The new owners guarantee the same quality customer service with former owner Karen Sturgill working as the stores' manager. Melton said that Becky Dorko and Lori Ross are not only pleasant to work with but have over 20 years of experience working with the Sturgills.

“They’re providing a lot of experience and support and they aren’t quite ready to retire just yet,” Melton said about Karen and Richard Sturgill.

Poor Boy’s has been the number one Cardinal Building dealer for three consecutive years.

Melton said their lot is filled with different models with information for everyone to come and check out some of the products available.
