This is our story. 1971 - McMunn & Yates was formed in 1971 when Terry Yates and Stan and Gordon McMunn opened their first store in Dauphin, MB. With combined experience in both contract work and retail, this union of families put their faith in each other to build and rebuild something larger than themselves, now hundreds of families serving their local communities large and small. McMunn & Yates is committed to and believe in the hometown values and doing business with their friends and neighbors. We believe the "and" in McMunn & Yates is more than just a conjunction because without it, there are no connections and no commitment. 1972 - Company joins TIM-BR-MART buying group 1977 - First expansion with opening of Grandview building supply outlet 1980 - Purchase of Tim-Br-Fab for truss production in Dauphin, MB 1983 - Opening of store in Roblin, MB 1986 - Expands rural reach with store opening in Russell, MB 1988 - Purchase of Charleswood Building Supplies to open store in Winnipeg, MB 1989 - Purchase of F.
