Kibler & Kirch 25th Anniversary Celebration.
25 YEARS OF WELL-DESIGNED LIVING 1990-2015
Honoring the Founders of Kibler & Kirch: Anita Cramer, Erica Hash, Jean Foster & Rosina Kastelitz.
Please join us at 101 North Broadway, Red Lodge, MT to celebrate 25 years of continuous service to our community. Kibler & Kirch's founders will be on-hand Saturday, December 5, 2015 from 10:00am - 2:00pm to toast the legacy of well-designed living. The day begins with a party and giveaway of a stunning shearling chair from furniture-maker Lee Industries. All merchandise will be 25% OFF.
For a quarter of a century, Kibler & Kirch has been well known for our expertise in interior design and a source of American made home furnishings. Only a handful of merchants in this small resort town can attest to the hard work involved in keeping the doors open through economic downturns and seasonal ups and downs. Kibler & Kirch has also been a destination shopping experience for Billings, Cody and many other surrounding towns which has played an enormous impact on the resort economy.
The founders of Kibler & Kirch had such a strong passion for what they were doing they worked diligently offering services and products that clients would appreciate and cherish for many years. Each and every one of our clients was special and most have become personal friends throughout the many years. These wonderful women also possessed a true sense of community, volunteering many hours to various organizations in Red Lodge. Kibler & Kirch has been a major contributor to the employment of many people over the years.
The legacy lives on and our mission remains the same; enrich our customers' lives through their homes with quality products and unexpected service. We will inspire you to create a fuller, better sense of home.
Come help us celebrate 25 years of well-designed living, and toast to 25 more.
