Allied Kenco

[classicrockgriller]

Allied Kenco is an approved Vendor of the Bradley Forum.

I had seen their name mentioned by several people for this item or that item.

When I visited their Web page I was surprised to see that they were located in Houston

approx. 1 & 1/2 hrs from me. I decided to look them up next time I was in the Big H.

I went last Wensday and really didn't have much time to look around, so I planned

another visit for Monday. (yesterday)

When I pulled up in the front of the store, I wasn't impressed, in fact kinda dissapointed.



The owner of Allied is Cody and just a super guy.

He told me him and a partner started servicing equipment for BBQ Houses, meat markets, etc.

They opened up a small store. His partner wanted to retire so Cody bought him out.

He said things just kept growing on him and he kept expanding.

He has 15 employees. He still services equipment both at his business and on location.

He had 3 people working on internet orders.

He has a full service dept and a FULL parts dept.

Cody is first class. He also told me to tell everyone that he appreciates the business he gets from the forum.

After seeing what you see when you open the door makes you forget about time and where you are.

Wow very cool place. To easy to spend a lot of money there and that is what I like about places like that.  ;D ;D

OMG,
Probably a good thing that store is not near my house.  I would be tempted to have half that stock in my garage.  Yah, that would go over well with the mrs.
Can't judge a book by its cover.
Now next time I am in Houston to visit my son, you and I can go over and say Hi to cody and drewl for a few hours.   :D

This is in the store, not in some back room!

Definatly a place to visit.
I will probably be out some time this year and will let you know if/when I come out.

Now what could be better than that. A great store and smoked food right while you deal with customers. Nice.

Looks like A place to empty the wallet for sure. Just looking at the pictures there is several things I am in need/want of!

So how much did you spend and did you need a trailer to get it home?

[Up In Smoke]

I have dealt with them many times and have had nothing
but top notch service!
Now that i have seen these pics i guess i gotta spend
more time on that site.
