𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲: River Valley Kitchens & Baths Inc
Al and Sue Bryant’s journey into the remodeling and design business was anything but traditional – Sue was a real estate agent and Al worked in finance with McDonald’s Corporation.
In 2007, Al and Sue were ready to try something new, so they decided to combine their skills and experience and purchase River Valley Kitchen & Baths. With an eagerness to learn and a passion for change, they jumped into the remodeling world, ready for their next adventure.
When the Bryants first took over the business, the company was primarily focused on new construction projects. But the new owners were ready for more and began targeting remodeling projects as well.
As part of their expanded business plan, they constructed a new state-of-the-art showroom. Then the market crash of 2008 hit, reducing the company’s growth by 50%.
“We learned from our mistakes and hardships,” Sue said. “Challenges are inevitable. But what matters is that your team is supported and prepared.”
River Valley Kitchen & Baths prides itself on delivering exceptional customer experiences, always striving to follow through on their commitments.
“We are fortunate to have great employees and designers who have stuck with us for many years. We all want what's best for our customers,” Sue said.
Navigating an in-home construction project, can be tough. Sue understands the challenges her clients face – living in a construction zone and coping with delays and unexpected obstacles. However, the team at River Valley Kitchen & Baths is dedicated to guiding clients through the process, ensuring a smooth journey from planning to completion.
As active members of the Greater Rockford Chamber of Commerce for 14 years, the Bryants have a special place in their heart for community.
“Through the GRCC, we are constantly reminded of the importance of community and working together to uplift the Rockford area,” Sue said. “We love to promote a ‘shop local’ environment to strengthen our community.”
River Valley Kitchen & Baths also prioritizes giving back. They have sponsored multiple Habitat for Humanity builds and have collaborated with organizations to support various charities like the Literacy Council and 100 Men Who Cook.
Al, Sue, and the entire River Valley Kitchen & Baths team are committed to being a one-stop shop for all remodeling needs, providing expertise and support to their clients every step of the way.
