History
Established in 1925.
In 1925 Overisel Feed and Lumber Co. was founded by John Voorhorst in Overisel, Michigan, which is a small community about four miles south-west of Holland. Elvin Slenk started working for Overisel Feed and Lumber Co. as a bookkeeper and sales/designer in 1953. Five years later Gord Zuverink joined him in sales and design. That same year the original owner retired.
We opened our store in South Haven in 1974. Overisel Kitchen & Bath Center opened its doors for business in 1977. Then we expanded our company by purchasing a store in Douglas in 1985 on Chestnut Street. We’re proud to have roots in so much of beautiful southwestern Michigan.
Overisel Lumber Company remains a family owned and operated business. You’ll often meet Greg Slenk, with the newest generation — Jason and Lee Slenk — working hard in our stores and in the community. We are looking to a bright future building our community’s dreams.
