Owner Eric Casteel is ready to introduce Iowa City residents to his new Woodcraft store.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (PRWEB) January 10, 2022

Iowa City and Johnson County residents are invited to 3 Escort Lane at 9 a.m. Monday, January 17, for the opening of a new Woodcraft Supply retail store.

Owner Eric Casteel is eager to introduce local woodworkers, DIYers and others to Woodcraft’s line of quality woodworking tools, accessories and supplies. Based on his market research, Casteel said he knows there are a lot of professional and hobbyist woodworkers in eastern Iowa, as well as do-it-yourselfers, who can benefit from having a woodworking store within driving distance.

Casteel discovered this need firsthand during COVID when he was at home a lot and doing woodworking and DIY projects. “In the quest for tools and supplies, I became frustrated at the lack of availability in the eastern Iowa/western Illinois region,” he said.

“Everything about our store location is exciting,” Casteel said. “Not only is it easily accessible, regardless of which direction our customers are coming from, it also provides us the opportunity for expansion. Plans are already in the works to add an additional 3,500 square feet. The additional space will house a dedicated classroom and allow us to expand our already wide selection of lumber, including domestic hardwoods, sheet goods, and hard to find exotic species.”

Woodcraft President and CEO Jack Bigger said, “Woodcraft is happy to see Eric Casteel entering the Iowa City business community and bringing the Woodcraft retail store experience to a new area in the heartland of the US.”

Store hours are: Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-7 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; and Sunday, Noon-5 p.m.
