E-Commerce · Logistics · Real Estate

Operating at the intersection of commerce and infrastructure.

Lonestar Trade is a Houston-based operating group that builds and manages businesses with a disciplined, systems-first approach — applying the same operational rigor across every venture since 2014.

What We Do

Three Verticals. One Philosophy.

We acquire, build, and operate businesses across complementary sectors — each one reinforcing the others.

Warehouse logistics operations

Logistics

Technology-forward third-party logistics serving e-commerce brands out of Houston. DTC fulfillment, B2B distribution, Amazon prep, returns processing, and kitting — built by operators who have been on both sides of the shipping label.

E-commerce fulfillment station

E-Commerce

Over a decade of multi-channel marketplace experience across Amazon, Shopify, and wholesale. Our operations background means we understand the entire supply chain — not just the storefront.

Tomball Grand Storage facility

Real Estate

Commercial and self-storage assets in the greater Houston area, acquired with a focus on distressed-to-performing turnarounds. Systematic asset management for long-term, stable cash flow.

Our Story

Built by Operators

Lonestar Trade was founded in 2014 by Eric Lobdell — a West Point graduate and Army veteran who built his first business on the Amazon marketplace and never stopped building. What started as a single e-commerce operation has grown into a multi-vertical group with a shared thesis: build systems that compound, acquire assets others undervalue, and operate with discipline rooted in service.
