Ambassador of the Month
Jeff HatcliffKentco StoresAs a new entrepreneur I was not sure what direction I should be going to grow my business. Joining the Chamber was the best business decision I have made. Joining the Ambassadors has been the second best. The camaraderie of the group instills a sense of being. Visiting new and renewing chamber members provides an opportunity to meet with other business owners who provide insight on how they conquered some of the same barriers in business that I have. It is important to me to be able to share their knowledge and my experiences with new entrepreneurs and business owners. The Arvada Chamber Ambassadors are awesome and a dynamic group that ROCK! Kentco Stores was started in 2008 as a result of an earlier retail venture, Rocky's Mercantile. Kentco Stores is a E-Commerce affiliated marketing business offering customers wide variety of products from different and unique companies. JKH Enterprises retails exclusive brands such as Artistry, Nutrilite, SA8, Legend of Clean. and more. JKH Gift Card Collections is a company that offers more than just a gift card. |
