In the early 2010s, shortly after the opening of the first Kohler Signature Store in 2012 (Edina, MN), it was identified that a separate and distinct strategy for residential plumbing, cabinetry, and lighting stores was emerging in the industry. First Companies quickly responded by creating a differentiated strategy for our kitchen, bath, and lighting stores including a Chief Operating Officer role to oversee this strategy.
Effective January 15th, Scott Boehlke will be the Chief Operating Officer overseeing distribution and the KB&L strategies. Current KB&L Stores District Managers, Connie Holl and Amanda Kunst will report directly to Boehlke. Boehlke and the team will drive consistent collaboration across the business while maintaining the significant financial gains that have been made over the past ten plus years.
