Architect, kitchen dealer, and builder merge to create strategic alliance

Kinetic Kitchen and Bath, a seven-year old kitchen dealer in the Town of Niagara, has joined forces with Jim Fittante of Fittante Architecture, and Vic Battey of Adelchi Inc., an upscale building contractor. The trio will do business as The Kinetic Group.

Christopher Connelly, president of Kinetic Kitchen and Bath, calls the partnership "a perfect alliance for one-stop home improvement shopping. We have chosen to differentiate ourselves from the big-box mentality by offering truly full spectrum home improvement projects under one roof."

The three companies will operate from the kitchen showroom at 1655 Fashion Outlet Blvd. (adjacent to Fashion Outlet Mall).

Additional plans for 2011 include the introduction of new cabinet lines by Wood-Mode and Brookhaven; renovations to the interior and exterior of the existing showroom; nearly doubling the size of the current showroom; the ability to fabricate countertops in-house; expanded project financing options; and the addition of Tina Battey, an industry professional with nearly 25 years of kitchen experience as showroom manager.

"As the economy strengthens, we expect to see continued growth in the home remodeling sector, particularly here in Western New York," Connelly says.
