Ganahl Lumber, Anaheim, Ca., is expanding into San Diego with the acquisition of two-unit independent Pine Tree Lumber, Escondido and Fallbrook, Ca.

The deal brings Ganahl to 13 locations, covering San Diego, Orange, Riverside and Los Angeles counties.

Pine Tree Lumber was founded in Escondido in the 1940s by B.A. Sweet and his sons-in law, Warren S. Wexler and William S. Wyland. They purchased the Fallbrook yard from Hayward Lumber in 1952. The business passed to Sweet's grandsons, Warren Wexler and Mark Wyland, in the 1970s.

The Pine Tree locations are now operating under the Ganahl name.
