In 2002 James E. Schram established Grizzly Supply Inc. Jim had previously been employed in the post frame industry for over twenty-four years. A difference in business philosophy prompted Jim to resign his position and begin his own post-frame company.

Jim started out by selling post frame material packages to contractors in central and southern Minnesota. He was working out of a small local office in the local lumber yard in Danube, MN. The demand was greater than expected and expansion was on its way.

In 2004 Grizzly Supply, Inc. built a 17,500 sq. ft warehouse to house all the building material from the elements. Grizzly Supply, Inc. chose to build on the outskirts of Danube with State Hwy. 212 frontage.
In 2005 the Grizzly Supply, Inc. expansion grew again with a 8,900 sq. ft. cold storage warehouse and a 8,300 sq. ft. office w/ shop which is now the permanent home of Grizzly Supply, Inc.

In 2006 a sister company, Grizzy Buildings Inc., was formed to handle the fully constructed buildings. Thru all the expansions, both of Grizzly companies pride themselves on never compromising customer satisfaction or the quality of its buildings and or materials.
