In 1974, Jack Busby started the business in his parents' goat barn in the tiny town of Lacrosse, Florida armed only with a set of common Sears Craftsman tools.

Not long after he was out of high school, Jack discovered that he genuinely enjoyed working with his hands and had a specific talent for remodeling and home improvement.

A few years later, Jack was unexpectedly reunited with a friend he had known since the first grade when Debbie accepted an accounting position for the business in 1980.

Within six months, Jack proposed.

Work and marriage have been a good fit for Jack and Debbie because since then – some 30-plus years later – Busby Cabinets has grown from a 10-employee cabinet shop into a full-fledged custom cabinet company with a 45,000 square-foot manufacturing facility, four showrooms across the state of Florida and nearly 70 employees.
