A boutique with a bank vault, century-old display cases, and a name pulled from Kalispell’s past—this conversation with Princess and Buck co-owners Kyle Waterman and Beth Kornick is a walk through how small businesses can power a main street’s heart. In just 30 days, they turned an idea into an open sign, choosing downtown Kalispell over easier options and transforming a former bank into a living scrapbook where shoppers find clothing, home goods, and stories woven through local history.
Kyle and Beth share how their Montana roots, Rotary connection, and community focus shaped their approach to retail and service. From a working vault turned photo booth to jewelry cases said to have arrived by stagecoach and boat, Princess and Buck blends heritage and entrepreneurship. With lessons on sourcing unique lines, building small vignettes that solve gifting, and sustaining downtown vitality through collaboration, this episode is a love letter to Kalispell’s spirit—and a guide for anyone who believes main streets still matter.
