Grand opening scheduled Oct. 22

Renamed Wehrung’s Macungie the former Dries Do It Center, 3580 Brookside Road, brings Ottsville-based Wehrung’s family of businesses to the Lehigh Valley.

A grand opening event will be held 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 22.

Wehrung’s Macungie is part of a service-oriented, dedicated family of businesses operating for more than 75 years and serving the building industry and DIY home improvement sector throughout the Tri County area, according to a recent news release.

Since purchasing Dries Do it Center in January 2021, Wehrung’s Macungie has remained open during a roughly $3 million investment and extensive renovation and restocking process.

“Every aisle of merchandise from new shelving, new product lines and added depth of product lines” has been realized at Wehrung’s Macungie, Brad Jacobs, vice president of purchasing at Wehrung’s Family of Businesses and general manager of Wehrung’s Macungie, said in the news release.

Pronounced WEAR-ings, the business is known for supplying the professional construction trades as well as DIY homeowners.

From a drive-thru warehouse where contractors can pick up orders under cover to state-of-the-art racking systems and fresh, bright retail spaces, Wehrung’s Macungie aims to be a “one stop shop,” Jacobs said

Wehrung’s Macungie includes:

•A renovated 35,000 square foot retail space.

•A 4,600 square foot space dedicated to kitchen, bath and flooring.

•A drive-thru contractor customer warehouse with covered storage for lumber and building material supplies pick up.

Employee longevity means staff is able to respond to customer questions and have a deep knowledge base from which to draw. Many have been with Wehrung’s for 15, 20, 30 or more years, Jacobs said in the news release.

The grand opening event will feature free food, visits from CAT Country 96 FM and 99.9 The Hawk radio DJs, as well as door prizes and activities for children. Visit the website at www.wehrungs.com for additional details.
