Homes of Merit was founded by Chuck Weeder in 1973. Chuck had a vision to create a company that produced quality HUD-code manufactured homes. In 1973, his company produced approximately 2.5 million dollars in sales. In 1984, Homes of Merit production capabilities had reached a maximum in the now 3 plants. Orders for homes were so strong they were not able to build the homes fast enough. The company expanded into Lake City, Florida and production began in 1985. Another plant was built in 1988 next to the existing plant in Lake City, Florida to keep up with sales. In 1996 in response to strong sales and the desire to move into a different product line, plant 3 was built. As a result of its growth, Homes of Merit has become the largest single location producer in the State of Florida. Because of tremendous success Homes of Merit was acquired by Champion Enterprises in January of 1999.
