Literally every time I go here, the people are extremely friendly. I have lived in the Gallatin Valley for 32 years, and so I remember when Kenyon Noble was just a smaller store downtown Bozeman. I'm so happy for their success, as they truly deserve it. Our family has shopped through Kenyon Noble for everything we need home-improvement wise for decades, because we support the local businesses well over Lowe's or Home Depot.
The staff at this particular store are overwhelmingly nice (in a great way)! Every time I visit, it's like they know me personally, in that they are friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable.
Today, I visited to buy some ungodly bright pink spray paint to do some diy stuff for one of our daughters, and I seriously wish I'd checked the guy's name tag who was my cashier, because he was so friendly. He usually works in the paint department, has a shaved head, thin, and handsome (not being creepy; just specific). Anyway, he got to talking about the paint color, and we talked about our daughters, and he told me how he'd raised his own daughter on his own. He didn't tell me like "poor me", but just as a friendly conversation, but it really showed what kind of good guy he is--much like the rest of the staff.
There was PLENTY of staff on-hand, which was awesome, and one of the managers passed another employee who was wearing a reflective vest (I assume he works with the lumber) and the manager cracked a joke at him, and they both laughed hard as they passed one another. It showed how much the management cares about its employees, which makes sense as to why they're all so friendly and seem to love their jobs.
The prices are amazing, as well, and the store is ALWAYS well-stocked, organized, and clean.
Love this store!!
**EDIT, NEW VISIT**
Yet another amazing experience at Kenyon Noble today. I frequent the store a lot more times than I write reviews, but today was just a great visit. I was greeted as I walked in, which is the norm for the store. Everyone was friendly, as always. As I was shopping, I noticed a line forming at the cash registers. Employees popped out of nowhere like ninjas to help out, with great attitudes, smiles, and with a sense of urgency.
When I ended up checking out later on in my visit, I had four bungee cords in my cart. I knew when I put them in there, that they were gonna hook onto the bars of the cart when I went to check out. Sure enough, they did. I was joking about it with my cashier (a younger gal with long, black hair), and as I was, another woman, who was older than my cashier popped up (again, like a skillful ninja) and offered to help.
Granted, I didn't need her help, but she was so attentive and paying attention to customers (like me) whom she wasn't even actively helping, yet she stepped in to help anyway.
One HUGE thing I loved today was this (and this may be my favorite thing about Kenyon Noble)...I was looking at the flags, more zoning out than anything since we already have an American flag in front of our house. I noticed there was a big Bobcats flag for sale and NO GRIZ FLAGS!!! I loved it!!!
Kenyon Noble stays true to its local values, and this is Bobcat country. LOVE IT! Go Cats!!! read more
