A.B. Fitch started his lumber business in 1907, twenty miles north of Carrboro in Mebane. As the University of North Carolina prospered and the town grew, he opened a "delivery station" in Carrboro in 1923. Bernice Fitch, A.B.'s oldest son, was sent to manage the new office. The town continued to grow, building flourished and, in 1945, Miles, Bernice's brother, joined him in the business. That same year, fire destroyed the Mebane store and all operations were moved to Carrboro. Since then, Fitch Lumber and Hardware has continued to expand its goods and services to meet the needs of the town and its residents.
