With the help of Inland Northwest Bank, a stone engraving company moves forward despite a rough economy.

Airway Heights, WA: GardenStone Creations (http://www.gardenstonecreations.com) announced its expansion into a large custom storefront. This Spokane, WA area business has grown into its new accommodations despite the economic recession – and thanks to help and support from the local community. GardenStone Creations, a stone engraving company, began as a small division of sister company Cascading Creations (http://www.cascadingcreations.com) a landscaping, hardscaping and custom water features company.

Since its Inception, GardenStone Creations has unveiled an online store, expanded its product range and now, is ready to do business from a retail location the company built from the ground up. In an era where small businesses are failing due to a combination of poor consumer confidence and institutions unwilling to extend credit, the company has enjoyed improved business based on two factors: customer loyalty and the unwavering support of Inland Northwest Bank.

“It’s tough times for a lot of people, but we’ve been fortunate enough to be part of a great community,” said GardenStone Creations owner Kelly Tareski. “We have strong roots here in the Pacific Northwest. People care about us as a business and as people. I really have to hand it to Inland Northwest Bank for recognizing our potential and backing us up, even as other banks are leery of investing in small business.

“The Spokane Valley Insider has also helped us with a ‘buy local’ profile, and great people like our concrete contractor, Smiley’s Construction, have done tremendous things for us. Really, there are too many people to thank in a few short sentences.”

GardenStone Creations has kept a video diary of the store’s development on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/user/CascadingCreations. Visitors will be able to see examples of the company’s stone engraving, buy engraved garden stones and other decorations, and order custom work.
