Our Story

Rock Bottom Granite was founded in 2007, over 15 years ago, with one simple concept:

“Everyone deserves luxury stone countertops”

But getting shipping containers full of exotic stone slabs for kitchen and bathroom remodels was no easy task, especially for the once sleepy Treasure Valley.

Nestled in the corner of Garden City, off of Chinden Boulevard, Kent Johnson got to work solving this problem.

But how did this all start?

Kent had volunteered in South America to aid with land conservation, infrastructure, nutrition, and education. It was there (specifically Brazil) that he visited the quarries full of exotic stones. Being a multilingual man, he met with some local experts, and arranged for some slabs to be delivered to his nearly vacant Idaho business lot.

5 years later, a bright eyed Brian Pope had just lost his job at the aviation hangar. Uncertain of his future, and looking for any steady work, Brian remembered hearing about a local slab gallery that was looking for some help.

It was at Rock Bottom Granite, and with Kent’s guidance, that Brian learned how to be a salesman, forklift driver, delivery driver, stone importer, accountant, marketer, fabricator, and eventually, business owner.

But Brian couldn’t afford to purchase the business alone – he needed help from someone who had believed in his (and Rock Bottom Granite’s) vision: his own mother, Gisele Pope!

It was in 2015 that Rock Bottom Granite switched ownership to Brian and Gisele Pope.

The journey was just beginning, though.

Over the next 8 years, Rock Bottom Granite has grown into the leading local stone supplier in the Treasure Valley, providing luxurious stone countertops for both residential and commercial projects.
