Our History
Eakin Enterprises, Inc., in Larned has been a family owned business for over 60 years. Currently owned & operated by Chad Eakin, the business was founded in 1950 by Chad’s grandparents, Wanda & Willis Eakin. Prior to moving to Larned, the Eakins leased a sandpit in Dodge City. In 1957 they purchased a concrete plant in Larned which was set up east of the train depot. They later moved the plant to the current location one-half mile west of Larned on Hwy. 56. The business was run by Willis & Wanda with the help of their two sons, Wendell (Chad’s father) & Nolan. Chad started helping the business as a young boy and opened his own construction business while still in high school. Another concrete plant was put into operation in Great Bend in 2001 and in 2004 the Hays Ready-Mix location was added to the growing business. Chad purchased the remainder of the original Larned business from other family members in 2006. The three locations currently employ forty-five people. The main business office is located in Larned with Chad overseeing the day to day services and projects of the work crews.
