Countertop store

to open in March

Cambridge Quartz and Granite will open its first storefront in March, creating what the owners hope will be a one-stop shop for kitchen and bathroom remodeling.

Amber Leonetti, who owns the business with her husband Zach Leonetti, said they have worked without a storefront for about 15 years. She would do consultations with customers in their homes and offer to go with them to look at other parts of the remodel if they so desired. He would then install the stone countertops after they arrived from the cutting company.

The new store, at 5967 S.W. 29th, will allow customers to look at options for quartz and granite countertops, tile, lighting, plumbing fixtures and even paint colors that coordinate with the different stone slabs, Leonetti said.

Now theyll be able to do that without having to go anywhere else, she said. Thats what we love about it, being able to give people the kitchen they dream about.
