Moore Lumber & Hardware Becomes First Official Member of the Douglas County Local Business Alliance™
Castle Rock, CO – July 31, 2025 — The Douglas County Local Business Alliance™ is proud to welcome its very first official member: Mark Blickenstaff, Divisional Director of Revenue Growth and Marketing for Moore Lumber & Hardware.
Moore Lumber’s legacy of support for local business is unmatched, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have them as the cornerstone of this movement. Their dedication to the Castle Rock community—and to small business success—isn’t new. It’s deeply rooted, widely felt, and incredibly inspiring. Quite simply, they’ve been one of the most consistent champions of local economic growth in Douglas County for as long as we can remember.
A Local Legacy of Support and Strength
Founded in 1947, Moore Lumber & Hardware has grown into a seven-location, lumber yard leader in the building materials and home improvement industry. From Castle Rock to Bennett, Pine to Evergreen, their impact stretches across Colorado—but their heart has always remained local. Under Mark Blickenstaff’s leadership, Moore continues to evolve with purpose: combining small-town service with big-picture strategy.
“As someone who has spent over two decades in this industry, I’ve learned that real impact isn’t just about selling products—it’s about building community,” said Blickenstaff. “At Moore, we aim to do both. That’s why I joined the Douglas County Local Business Alliance™: to strengthen our community by lifting up the small businesses that define it.”
Mark Blickenstaff: Marketing Leader, Community Advocate
In his role at Moore Lumber & Hardware, Mark oversees strategic growth initiatives across all store locations, driving revenue, refining customer experiences, and amplifying brand presence in a highly competitive market. But his expertise goes far beyond the numbers. Mark brings a powerful sense of purpose to every project—one that aligns seamlessly with the Alliance’s mission.
“I’m locally driven. I believe communities are strongest when their locally owned businesses thrive—because those businesses don’t just sell services, they build relationships, reinvest in our neighborhoods, and preserve the character that makes our towns feel like home.”
His experience spans marketing, operations, and team development, but the core has always been the same: empowering people, fostering collaboration, and creating lasting value—not just for customers, but for the communities Moore serves.
Why the Alliance Matters
The Douglas County Local Business Alliance™ (DCLBA) was founded on a simple but bold principle: independence matters. We are a for-profit, privately operated movement dedicated to promoting and protecting the small businesses that give Douglas County its identity and resilience.
By joining as our inaugural member, Moore Lumber & Hardware sends a clear message—that local business is not only worth supporting, it’s worth fighting for.
“We’re building something bold here,” added Blickenstaff. “The Alliance is more than a business group—it’s a platform for advocacy, communication, and shared strength. I’m honored to be part of it and excited to help shape the future of our local economy.”
