Ep. 82 – Community Over Competition with Beth Kornick of Princess & Buck

July 6, 2026
What makes a downtown truly come alive? It’s the small businesses that create experiences, build connections, and turn visitors into loyal customers.

In this episode of Venture Boldly, we sit down with Beth Kornick, co-owner of Princess & Buck, to talk about building one of downtown Kalispell’s most distinctive retail destinations. Beth shares her journey as an entrepreneur, the importance of creating memorable customer experiences, and why a thriving downtown depends on collaboration, not competition.

We explore the power of shopping local, the role retailers play in shaping a community’s identity, and how efforts like Downtown Forward are helping strengthen downtown Kalispell for the future.
