9. A Vault, a Vision, and a Boutique

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.

Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:03

Welcome to the Heart of the Flathead, where we sit down with the change makers, the unsung heroes, and everyday folks who give this place its fault. If you live here, love here, or just want to know what makes Calisbell and the Valley tick, you're in the right place. And now, here's your host, Dave Wigginton.

Background

SPEAKER_03 0:21

Welcome to another episode of Heart of the Flathead. I am excited to have our first small business owner on the podcast, and actually owners, I should say, because we've got Kyle Waterman and Beth Kornick, proprietors of Princess and Buck in downtown Calispo. And just as a lead-in today, you know, one of the things that was the genesis of this podcast was getting to know people in our community and also getting to know the impact they have on our community. And small businesses are the lifeblood of the American economy. And I would say they're even more so the lifeblood of Montana and the Flathead Valley. And so we are certainly fortunate to have so many wonderful people running businesses that are concerned about community and want to be doing good and helping helping the world while also earning a living. So excited to uh speak with Kyle and Beth today and get to know them a little bit more and learn about the origins of Princess and Buck and what Kyle and Beth are doing to help advance the goodness in in the Flathead Valley. So, Kyle and Beth, welcome to Heart of the Flathead. Thanks, Dave. Thank you, David. Yeah. Great. Well, to get started, I know that the people that know you know you very well, but there are a lot of people that don't know you, or they know who you are perhaps, but they don't know you. So it'd be great to learn a little bit more about both of you, where you're from, what your life's journey has been to this point, and what led you to be here in the Flathead Valley and be owners of a small business.

SPEAKER_02 1:51

Well, thank you, David. I'm Kyle Waterman, and I was born and raised actually over in Helena, Montana. But uh sure happy to be in Kalispel for the last 15 years now. And I think you actually described something which is really great. But one of the things that attracted me to Kalispel is actually our historic downtown and what a unique opportunity it is to actually be able to live and work within history, but also party and play. And I think that that's what sort of what's fun about being able to own a business in downtown because I think that it is a unique entrepreneurial space. But as somebody who's grew up in Montana, just really proud to share our history and stuff. But also, there's some things that are hard to find. So it's been fun to open up a shop with Beth.

SPEAKER_01 2:31

Hi, I I am Beth Cornack, and I was actually born in Rapid City, South Dakota. My dad is a retired wildlife biologist and bush pilot for the Fish and Wildlife Service. So we moved to Alaska when I was two, and we lived there. I lived there off and on until I was nine, but when I was five, my parents divorced, and my dad moved to Lewistown, Montana, and he was a pilot for the Fish and Wildlife Service for the Charles M. Russell Wildlife Refuge. And so I grew up in Lewistown, but then my mother left Alaska and moved to Arizona. And so I would go back and forth. I would live a year with my mom in Sedona and then a year with my dad in Lewistown. And I did that throughout my childhood. And then I moved to Lewistown probably, I think I was 19 or 20 when I moved back for good. And so Lewistown has been my home for many years. And then we moved to the Flathead in uh 2007, so about 18 years. My husband is a fisheries manager for the Fish and Wildlife, or excuse me, Fish Wildlife and Parks. And so he manages hatcheries. And so we were fortunate enough to be able to come here. He manages the Flathead Salmon Hatchery and the Rose Creek Hatchery. And we love the Flathead Valley. Love, love, love it.

Store origins

SPEAKER_03 3:50

So we're happy to have you here, definitely. So you both have had secured us roots, I guess, to and how you've gotten here. And you know, Kyle, I know you've been involved in local government. Beth, you've been involved with the school district and I believe Emmanuel Lutheran as well. How how did you guys get to be owners of a boutique, men's and women's fashion store?

SPEAKER_02 4:13

Well, I think actually, I mean, one of the ways that Beth and I met each other was through rotary and volunteering and giving back to the community. I think that that's actually something that both of us value. And that's actually so we met through rotary clubs and we ended up both being rotary presidents the same year of our respective clubs, Calispell Daybreak Rotary for me and Kalispel Noon. And while doing that, we both were able to share with each other that we actually love shopping. And one of the things that we had a fun time in Denver, but also some travel abroad, was to go to small shops and see that we were like, oh, that wouldn't be great if Calispel had one of these. And that's sort of where we started out, just our love of service and community brought us together, but also we were able to share something that we thought we could bring back to Calspell and dream that we were both shared. Both had talked about this for a while.

SPEAKER_01 5:00

Yeah. I uh was an entrepreneur from the get-go. I used to own an espresso shop in Lewistown. I owned a small art gallery/slash gift shop in Lewistown. And then I managed a larger clothing and retail store there when I was young. And I always knew that I wanted to get back into that. So I sort of had a side business online when online boutiques sort of became a thing, but I didn't really have enough time to devote to it. And it it uh was just sort of sitting there. But I would always talk to Kyle about how I really wanted to get back into having a store. And he was like, Yeah, Kalispell could really use something like that. And the thing that I love about Kyle is his devotion to this community because honestly, I was looking at possibly whitefish because there was a business for sale that I was interested in in Whitefish, and Kyle said, Whitefish is not your community, Kalispel is your community. Bring it to your town, you know. There are lots of people in Whitefish who want to have businesses. Let them do it. This is Kalispell, this is our town, let's do it here. And I really appreciate that because he's totally correct. Kalispell is our home, and it's where we want to do business and we want to support our local people here, and it's really been a great uh path.

SPEAKER_02 6:13

Dave, I think you brought up a really interesting point. I mean, that's why I am passionate about downtowns, is downtowns are really good for entrepreneurs. Unique spaces take sometimes unique solutions, and small businesses are able to fit fit that mold. And yeah, we're really happy to be home on Main Street in downtown Kalispell.

Vision for the store

SPEAKER_03 6:32

Yeah, I I think it's great. I love downtown Kalispel, and I love the building you guys are in, and I think it's uh it's a great, great spot. What what is your I guess when you set out, what was your vision for Princess and Buck and how far along are you in achieving that vision?

SPEAKER_01 6:46

I think we're getting pretty close. We started out, we'd like to say we started out at about 30 or 40 percent because we literally got open in 30 days. It it really just fell into our laps. I was working full-time at uh the Emanuel Foundation after being at the school district for 14 years, and Kyle was busy doing all of his things, and every once in a while we'd text each other and banter about different places that we'd seen that might be available, but there wasn't a lot happening on Main Street availability-wise. I've been watching it for a few years. Like I said, I knew I wanted to have a store someday. So I have been watching downtown Calisbell a bit. And one day I was driving to work and I saw a for lease sign go up in what used to be Wheeler jewelry. And so I called Kyle and he said, I already saw it and I'm headed over to look in the windows. And we made an appointment and checked it out, I think that night. And then we took the weekend to sort of mull it over and, you know, talk about whether or not we were ready and different things like that. And then we kind of just were like, let's do it. If we're gonna do it, let's just do it. So we jumped in with both feet. So I think we started out pretty small, but I think as we've come through our first year, we're growing. We've gone to three different uh cities to wholesale markets and learned a lot of really valuable information. We're trying to find unique lines to bring to our store that aren't being carried by other stores, and that's actually pretty difficult. We find that we find something that we think is really unique, and then we find out, oh, somebody else found it at the same time, and now we have similar items. So we're really trying to branch out and be unique. We don't want to repeat what anybody else is doing. And uh, I think that our space really helps us do that as well.

SPEAKER_02 8:32

It's so our space is a historic, it was a jewelry store. Originally it was a bank. It was the first finished brick building in downtown Kalispell. So it is sort of like a little treasure trove. I think it's sort of like going into a house of mysteries every once in a while. That's been fun because it set the stage for us to curate what we wanted to have as an experience, find local artists, but also just artists that we've met who are doing clothing, artwork, home goods, things like stationary, which just takes a little while to figure out how to be a whole gift boutique. But also, yeah, be mindful of the community that we live in and offer something a little bit different and not not it's about community, not competition.

SPEAKER_03 10:21

What's your favorite, uh what's your favorite aspect of the space that you're in?

SPEAKER_02 10:25

What I mean, I do think one of our treasures of it is is the vault. So the space was originally a bank, and so it is sort of fun to have a vault that we've been able to open up. It's not very sizeable. We put a photo booth and and maybe a sales rack in there. We started off with a record player in there, and that was a lot of fun. But it's sort of been fun to just share that story because uh you can see when people walk in, they get curious about the space, and it's nice to have a way that they can celebrate being in there and explore. But I think the vault's my favorite.

History of the building

SPEAKER_01 10:55

Yeah, for I love the vault as well, but also the jewelry display cases, the history of those. We were told they came from Milwaukee on a stagecoach in the early 1900s. They took them to Fort Bitten and then they put them on a boat and brought them up the flathead. And they are stunning. They're fully intact, they are so beautiful. I can't even describe them. There's these gorgeous glass panels that slide down from the ceiling. You pull a brass bar and they come down, and that would cover up the things that they would keep in there, like the silver, the china, the jewels clocks, probably back in the day. And I think that's the first thing that people notice when they walk in, but they don't really notice the different details. And when we point them out, then people just are fascinated. And I think it just really gives a beautiful historical edge to our space and really makes things pop.

SPEAKER_03 11:52

Yeah, which is a great, great thing to have in this in a retail store, just in addition to the merchandise or something to have that character in there as well.

SPEAKER_01 12:00

Yeah. And then our name is a historical nod as well. We were so enthralled with the history of the space that Kyle did some research and found that there were two businesses in downtown Calisbell in the early 1900s. One was the Princess Theater, which was on First Avenue East, and then one was Bucks Groceries and Meats, which is on Main Street. It's the historic whip building, and it's now Big Sky Martial Arts. But so we we were looking for you know a something to encompass both feminine and masculine because we sell both men's and women's. And Kyle did that research, and we thought that was a really good way to honor the space, honor downtown Kalisbell, and encapsulate what we were trying to do.

SPEAKER_03 12:46

I mean, that's it's do you have any pictures of the original building or original Bucks Grocery Store or Princess Guinness?

SPEAKER_02 12:53

We've been fortunate to get to know Lisa, who used to own Wheeler's Jewelry. She shared with us some historic photos and some of the historic stories of of what was how things were used, how we know things about like where the hutches came in from and stuff like that. But then in the research, I was uh able from the Northwest History Museum be able to find historic photos of Princess Theater and then a Bucks groceries. So we keep those in front. It's been fun to share that story because every once in a while you'll find a longtime local who shares how they are related or worked at what the Princess Theater later became the Roxy, which is so it was the the princesses when it was not movie theater, and then shortly after that it became a movie theater. So people are able to share stories and be able to say, I remember that space, I did that, and it's sort of fun to celebrate that history and then also just learn more. I mean, that's I think the other part of it is I love it when an old timer comes in and shares something new about the space that we didn't know about. And I think that that's w definitely a programming thing to keep history alive. You have to be able to talk about it. And and again, I think it's one of the gems of downtown Callusville is that we actually have these an old opera house, we have an old school, we have our space was the first national bank. So those are just sort of unique items that make our town really memorable. And it's pretty neat that you know for a what was uh ultimately a dysfunctional railroad town, we still have that original collection from the depot building to the county courthouse to the school to to some of these buildings, and you're able to share that story. And that's what keeps keeps them and keeps the buildings alive, but also keeps the history and the rich history of the what it's like to live here in northwest Montana.

SPEAKER_03 14:40

Right. And what what a great connection though. I mean, you and to think that you can, you know, build a connection with the community while you're building a business because you're bringing the present and the history and the and the past together and being able to talk to the old timers, the people that remember these things that used to work there. That's that's amazing. How how many, I mean, of the people that you talk to, is this pretty common that you have these conversations with people or is it more infrequent?

Most rewarding and challenging things about the business

SPEAKER_01 15:04

I would say it's pretty common. We had a man come in and specifically ask us how we got our names because his family had ties to the Princess Theater and his wife's family was Bucks, Groceries, and Meats. And so we talked to him for a long time, and then later he brought his wife back in. And it's just fat I mean, they were small children when that was happening.

SPEAKER_02 15:24

But I mean, it's part of it is because Wheeler's jewelry was there for a hundred years, just our space. People have memories of I got my wedding bands there, or this is a space that was really precious to them. Um, because it was it's on Main Street, it's in the 100 block of Main Street. It was it was definitely an institution. So there's that type of knowledge where people are just like, oh, I remember coming in here, there. And then you have this deeper history of just fun stories about Kalispel and what it would be like to be on Calispel. Because again, we're we have always historically been a commerce center. Like everybody would come to Main Street. I mean, that's where the banks were, it's where the opera house was, there's where the bars were, and it was a place to come and celebrate. And our space was actually one of those places where people would come in and buy buy a wedding band or buy China and buy something fancy, mainly with their rewards from doing trapping and work in in the forests of northwest Montana. And like it was sort of like where they were able to realize those dreams.

Advice to aspiring business owners

SPEAKER_03 16:25

So we're connected to that history. Yeah, it's a great it's a great heritage, great heritage. So, as small business owners, what what do you find most rewarding and what do you find most challenging?

SPEAKER_01 16:34

I love when people come in and discover us. Again, we're just coming up on our our year one, but people seem to be very excited about what we're trying to do, and they love they can go in the vault and take a photo and have a memory in that cool space. I think they enjoy the way that we're curating these small little vignettes and and collections. I think that's been the most rewarding is seeing the reaction of people and how how um excited they are about what we're doing.

SPEAKER_02 17:05

And I would definitely say that one of the largest challenges of just being a small business owner is that you are making decisions all the time. Like every day, every minute of the day, you're making a decision, and there's nobody else who you can pass that buck to. I mean, you end up having to make the decisions.

SPEAKER_03 17:21

Pun intended, right?

SPEAKER_02 17:22

Yeah, no, no pun intended. But it's this it is, yeah. You you're making all those decisions of uh what should you buy, what how what hours do you have, how are you marketing yourself and things like that. So it's you're constantly making decisions and you have to move on to the next decision.

SPEAKER_03 17:39

So what what's what's one piece of advice you give to other small business owners in the valley or aspiring business owners?

Community involvement

SPEAKER_02 17:45

I definitely think one thing is is that there's a lot of community. We're really we are in a very supportive community that embraces entrepreneurship and really enjoys having things that are a little bit unique in uh town. So there's no reason to hide your idea because there's a lot of community to support. And and actually when you start to look at it in that vibrancy of everybody is making downtown a better place because that makes a more thorough shopping experience, you you have a lot of opportunities and a lot of partners and a lot of people that are actually rooting you on, and that's been a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_01 18:19

That's true. I would say if you're gonna branch out into your own entrepreneurship, collaboration is definitely the key. You you definitely need to find those people that support you and help you. And they don't have to be in your same lane, but even if they are, it is definitely all about community over competition. There's no there's no way that you can do this by yourself, I don't think. It's very much a collaborative effort.

SPEAKER_02 18:45

And and that's been true for us not only locally, but also when we start to work with other vendors and be able to find artists who are showcasing work in our in our space. Yeah, it is about a lot of partnerships.

SPEAKER_03 18:58

Oh, it makes sense. I mean, especially when you're in a small town like this, working together versus against each other is certainly the way to go. Both of you mentioned your desire to give back to the community and be a part of the community. I know you're involved in lots of different ways, but maybe share with the audience you know some of the things that you're a part of and and things that you're passionate about in the community and and what you're doing to help move those things along and and how you think that contributes to a better community in the long run.

SPEAKER_01 19:27

I'll start. So both my children grew up here, and I was a Girl Scout leader when my daughter was young, volleyball coach, my husband was a basketball coach. We've always been involved in our kids' schools. I I did a lot of the Missoula Children's Theater things at my kids' schools when they were young, and I was a founding member of Women Who Wine of the Flathead, who is there a nonprofit that works to support all of the different nonprofits that we have in the valley. Again, I'm in Rotary. So women who wine, is that do they whine a lot or do you drink wine? Maybe we drink wine. There is no whining allowed, just whining. Yeah, we drink wine. We come together to drink wine and support other nonprofits. We bring a bottle of wine and$30 and get to hear from the nonprofit. They talk to us about the work that they're doing in the valley. And then at the end of the year, we have a giving banquet where we are able to divvy up all of the funds that we've raised over the past year and and pass those funds along to those 11 nonprofits that we featured that year. And so that's really, really an amazing place. The the first year we gave out$1,000 to each nonprofit only because we were able to partner with the Flathead Community Foundation at the time and Lucy Smith, and they were able to match what we had raised, and we were able to give$1,000. Last year, we were able to give over$6,400 to each nonprofit. So we've really grown over the years. Yeah, it's it's an amazing organization. So how many years have you guys been in in existence? I believe I believe 15, I think is is how many years we've been in existence. How many members do you have? I think we have over 350 on our email roster, and then probably monthly, I would say we have between 40 and 65 that show up depending on the month.

SPEAKER_03 21:31

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 21:32

That's impressive.

SPEAKER_03 21:32

That's really impressive.

SPEAKER_01 21:34

Yeah, there's been a lot of good that has come about because of women who like to drink wine.

The Flathead 5

SPEAKER_02 21:41

Kyle, how about you? Well, I'm much more of a bro who likes to drink beer. Uh I have also given back and been involved in the community. As you mentioned, I've done political service or just community leadership. I'm uh been on city council for Calispel and just got elected again for that. I have been involved in our downtown sort of the chamber and other groups, mainly because I've done a lot of nonprofit work when it comes down to especially historic preservation. So that's been something I've been involved in. But also just growing up in Montana. It's always through church and community has been strong where I was raised. My church over in Helena used to always support Intermountain Children's Services, who I actually eventually worked with. And my church here, um, the Episcopal Alien Church has has always been very involved in homelessness. And uh right now I'm a board member at Samaritan House, but I've been watching some of those social service issues just because I've been involved in the community and concerned of what's going on. Rotary's been another really just good backbone of how to focus giving back. I mean, I think rotary is an an exemplary way to be a business professional. I've lot done a lot of fundraising and community building that way, but to give back, I mean, how do you volunteer and volunteer your time, but also your money and your efforts into something fun like Rotary? So those have been sort of my large channels is to be involved. I think that if I was sort of raised that way, my mom always said that if you have a little bit of extra time, go give back. That's definitely been a family mantra of I that I've had that opportunity to give back and find different ways to contribute.

SPEAKER_03 23:21

Well, you guys are certainly giving back. We're uh very fortunate to have you here in our community doing all the good that you guys are doing and excited to have Princess and Buck here as well and hope that it will continue to be a long-standing part of downtown as it continues to grow and evolve. To to wrap up today, we're gonna go ahead and move to our uh flathead five. And these are questions that we ask all of our guests. I'm gonna try and elicit a response from both of you for all these questions. So just a good way to kind of get to know each other. But they're supposed to be rapid fire. They're a little bit longer than rapid fire, but yeah, just just respond quickly. So, Beth, I'll start with you. What's your favorite hidden gem in the community?

SPEAKER_01 23:58

I would have to say Blacktail Mountain Ski Area. My kids grew up learning to snowboard and ski there. It's just the greatest little family spot. I know everybody loves to go to Whitefish. It's great skiing as well. But for me, Blacktail was just a really fun way to get to know our neighbors better. It's just small and intimate. We drive up there sometimes in the winter just to get out of the inversion and check out the view, have a, you know, lunch at the restaurant there or a drink. It's just a really fun place. And now I hear they have summer activities as well, which we have not tried out yet. But I'd say Blacktail Mountain is a hidden gem that a lot of people don't really know about.

SPEAKER_02 24:40

Awesome. Kyle, how about you? You know, my favorite is I'm a shout out to the Conrad Mansion. I think it's a unique hidden gem that's in Calliswell again as a history buff and somebody who's wa way into conservation. It's so much fun just to recommend to somebody to be like, regardless, even if you just walk through the gardens and peek through the windows, there's treasures within that. But if you're able to go see the large collection of how we're able to share Montana history, it's it's great.

SPEAKER_03 25:08

All right, guys, Kyle, start with you this time. Grizz or Bobcats?

SPEAKER_02 25:12

I I was I was raised as a Grizz family. Both of my parents went to we're in Missoula, so Grizz.

SPEAKER_03 25:18

Okay, got it, Ben.

SPEAKER_01 25:19

I'm a Bobcat. My brother and sister-in-law to actually both my brothers went to MSU. My sister-in-law, my husband graduated from MSU. I attended MSU. We're we're cats all the way.

SPEAKER_03 25:32

So, how do you guys manage that uh dichotomy in your your business partner relationship?

SPEAKER_01 25:37

I am right.

SPEAKER_02 25:38

So I I always win.

SPEAKER_01 25:40

So it's like Oh, I don't think so, Mister.

SPEAKER_03 25:45

Awesome. Okay, so Beth, what what is your favorite outdoor activity in the valley?

SPEAKER_01 25:50

Oh, Flathead Lake, boating on the lake, sitting on the lake, reading a book on the lake. I am a big, big fan of lake time. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_02 25:59

How about you? I'm I'm I'm a hiker. I really like going out and hiking with my dogs. Uh, we have such great public lands and trails all throughout the valley. There's there's miles to be able to go and really enjoy a good afternoon hike.

SPEAKER_03 26:13

Yeah, we are fortunate to have awesome lakes and awesome trails here. It is a great spot to be in the world. All right, Kyle, starting with you this time, what do you know today that you wish you knew when you started out?

SPEAKER_02 26:23

I I wish I just knew that there is so much community that wants to see you succeed. And being able to be brave enough to share ideas has been one of those things which I wish I had learned earlier that you don't have to do it all on your own, but by sharing that you're able to also go further and work together with people. I wish I knew that a little earlier.

SPEAKER_03 26:44

Good advice or good wisdom there. Beth, how about you?

SPEAKER_01 26:47

I uh wish that I knew how fast time goes. I wish that I had a little bit more time with my kids when they were younger. I wish that, you know, I just just really relished certain things. I mean, I I do. I appreciate all the things and I'm grateful for everything, but time really does go by so quickly, and I wish that there was a way to push pause every once in a while. And I I would tell my younger self to remember that and really truly enjoy every moment or its own beauty, no matter what it is.

SPEAKER_03 27:18

Time is certainly our most precious commodity. Okay, Beth, last one, when your story is over, what do you want the one or two sentence review on your book to be?

SPEAKER_01 27:28

Oh my goodness. Well, when I started babysitting at the age of 12, my mother always told me, leave things better than you found them. So I would say I would like people to know that I was loyal, I was loving, I was definitely community-minded, and that I tried to leave things a little bit better than I found them.

SPEAKER_03 27:50

Nice. Very nice. Kyle, how about you?

SPEAKER_02 27:53

That's a hard one. I definitely think that sometimes the tagline will be in over his head again. But I do think that I gave gave a lot. And I do think that that's going to be one of the things is I like jumping in, encouraging people, a partnership like working with Beth. I've been there to be a cheerleader, but also to uh help make the future that we want to have happen. And I think that will go down as my legacy.

That's great. I love it. And encouraging people is so much more fulfilling and and productive than trying to disparage or tear down people. So thank you both of you for all that you do. And thank you for coming on Heart of the Flathead today. It's been uh great getting to know you guys a little bit, learning a little bit more about Princess and Buck, and wish you guys the best of success with with your business venture and uh hope you can continue to keep uh doing the great things in our community that you're doing.
