Team Grit
Ownership
As a friend of the previous owners Mike and Lynda, I (A local girl, former collegiate athlete and (very) small business owner) moved back home to be closer to family. A conversation over food and drink with Mike and his partner Lynda led to Mike saying, “You should buy our business!” Something like, . . . we are looking for quality owners to continue to serve our customers so I can retire and go fishing. Two months later, me and my partner Janette Atkins became sole investors in Abrasives Spokane where I then hired a team to help carry on the great reputation Abrasives Spokane has for service to its customers. - Nicole Materne
Nicole’s roots go back to gravel, rock crushing plants (Materne Bros. Contractors – for road grading) to competitive golf on the women’s circuit, including the LPGA tour, to medical device sales, and owning a small clothing company (2010-2012). Come meet the team or give us a call as we can ship products to your home, business or project location.
While this may be a new journey for this team, their commitment to service and expansion hasn’t gone unnoticed in the few short months of ownership. Partnerships, contracts, and inventory quantities have gone up 30% making your one stop, abrasives shopping needs, that much more convenient.
