In the spring of 2011 at Kodiak Mountain Stone, we made the choice to follow our decision to open our own store in Calgary AB and open another store in Lethbridge AB. This decision was based on the fact that we felt we needed to be more involved in the sales and marketing of our products in our home area. Another factor was that we had also expanded our product lines to include more than just our own manufactured stone. We also added natural stone, brick and stucco to our offerings.
So when we made the decision for Lethbridge we changed our existing warehouse location into a showroom and warehouse which worked for us...kind of. Actually, it wasn't very good. We had a great warehouse, but it didn't work for a showroom. The setup was wrong, it was hard to find and we had no store front.
But things changed in the past couple of weeks. We were able to get into another property down the road form our existing warehouse at 2620 2 Ave North in Lethbridge. It's going to take a while to get everything in but we've got a good start on our Kodiak Mountain Stone sample wall.

The manufactured stone samples will be done shortly. The look great and our customers love them! We've started on the natural stone samples and will be starting the brick samples in about a week. Soon we will also start our acrylic stucco sample wall.
We are going to have an incredible design centre and look forward to having many customers using it to plan their projects.
