K C Enterprises has been running Gimli’s Timber Mart location since October 1977. That is nearly 50 years of continuous operation as the main building supply yard in town, which gives the store a depth of regional knowledge that a newer operation cannot replicate.
The store is at 19156 Gimli Park Rd. Phone: (204) 642-5111. Website: timbermartgimli.ca. Hours are Monday through Friday 8 am to 5 pm, Saturday 9 am to 3 pm.
The Timber Mart banner means KC Enterprises belongs to a national buying cooperative with over 600 member locations across Canada, established in 1967. The practical effect for customers is access to national-brand products through a store that is locally owned and operated. The staff know the local market and stock for it, rather than following a regional planogram designed for suburban big-box demand patterns.
Their inventory covers the full range of what residential and light commercial construction requires: dimensional lumber, plywood and OSB panels, drywall, windows with installation service, doors with installation, interior and exterior trim, cabinetry, bathroom vanities, hardware, and Cloverdale Paints. They offer delivery service, which matters considerably in a region where the nearest large building supply competition is 80-plus kilometres south in Winnipeg.
For contractors working the Interlake, having a reliable local yard is not just convenient – it is logistically necessary. Small material runs from a Winnipeg supplier do not work when the site is near Gimli. Same-day top-up deliveries, quick quotes, and local account relationships are things a local yard can provide that a distant operation cannot.
The store has operated continuously since 1977, which means it has seen a lot of area contractors come and go. Established relationships with local builders accumulate into practical knowledge of regional preferences – what framing lumber grades are commonly used here, which window specs hold up in Manitoba winters, how early to order to beat seasonal demand spikes.

Building supply in rural Manitoba
Construction in the Interlake requires products suited to the Manitoba climate. Exterior doors and windows need to handle temperature swings from minus 35 in January to plus 35 in July. Lumber used in framing needs to be properly dried and graded for dimensional stability through highly seasonal moisture cycles. A local supplier that has stocked for this market for decades tends to carry what actually works in these conditions.
The Timber Mart buying group structure lets a smaller regional store access products and pricing that would otherwise require much greater scale. Member stores go through the group’s distribution network for special orders, which means KC Enterprises can source items that a standalone independent yard might not be able to get at reasonable cost or timelines.
Hours and delivery
The store is open weekdays and Saturdays, closed Sundays. Delivery service covers the Interlake region. For contractors coordinating material deliveries to job sites, calling ahead to confirm availability and schedule a delivery window is the practical approach – the store’s staff can advise on lead times and local stock levels for specific items.
