To build the business, Tony offered local builders one free countertop, hoping to become their supplier if they were happy with the quality. As a result, he began to do business with numerous builders and suppliers in the greater Lafayette area. Two prominent names in the area at the time, Thise Construction and Pervine Kitchens, were essential in helping the business to thrive. The business relationship between Bollock’s and Pervine Kitchens lasted well over 50 years.
