However, try getting the staff to notice you. It is by appointment ONLY and no one will even tell you this if you are a first time buyer - you might as well be one of the fixtures for all of the attention you will get. That said, once you get an appointment, the sales personnel are very knowledgeable and helpful - until you walk out the door. We had a bathroom remodel and their subcontractor broke the mirror over the sink. Upon calling, they insisted we go through our plumbing contractor (who had nothing to do with this guy). They pass the buck on everything. The subcontractor installed a new counter top and there was fine dust embedded in all of the cabinetry which I still can't get out completely. Our plumber was baffled as to why it would be his problem. Famous has done well and they have become quite arrogant in dealing with customers. I will shop elsewhere next time.

The building itself is an old structure from Akron's industrial past, and it's great to see a business thriving there. It's open to the elements, so you definitely need your coat, gloves and hat when shopping in the winter.

Shopping in the summer is fine but during the fall, winter and spring is not worth the trip. The roof leaks on materials and there is always water on the floor. We saw 4 large critters running around the clutter. They probably had better service with one location but they cannot manage two stores. Your phone calls will not get returned and you have to physically go to the store to ask a question. All the positive reviews are by friends and family and not actual customers.

Now, our kitchen feels open, warm, and welcoming--the heart of our home.

It elevates the entire space and makes the kitchen feel both luxurious and comfortable. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Korkan Granite!
