Intermountain Bobcat's New Location in Idaho Falls

Scott Machinery, one of the leading construction equipment dealers in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, announced May 12th the sale of assets related to its John Deere and Hitachi business to Honnen Equipment Company, effective May 1, 2009. With a new focus as the area’s exclusive Bobcat dealer, the company will continue to operate as Intermountain Bobcat.

The change reflects the industry trend of consolidation of dealerships nationwide. Brothers David and Jeff Scott decided to sell the assets of their John Deere business to Honnen Equipment of Colorado so that they could focus on their Bobcat business. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Intermountain Bobcat will retain its Utah locations in Salt Lake City (4100 S. 500 West), Orem (1167 Industrial Road), and Cedar City (642 N. 1070 West) and has opened a new location in Idaho Falls, Idaho (3788 N 500 E). Randy Waters and Steve Frei with NAI Commerce One helped facilitate the new Idaho Falls location at the former Bodily RV along Highway 20 across from Bish's RV.

“We’re excited to give our full attention to the Bobcat line,” says David, president and CEO, regarding the ongoing Intermountain Bobcat business. “With 40 years of industry experience in the Intermountain area, we’re well-positioned to become the compact equipment leader by providing excellent service, supporting industry-leading projects and continuing our tradition of total customer satisfaction.”

For over 40 years, Scott Machinery was the exclusive John Deere construction and forestry equipment dealer in Utah, Eastern Idaho, and Western Wyoming. Founded in 1968 by Brent Scott, the business started in an old converted service station in Salt Lake City and established a reputation for quality service and customer satisfaction. Through the years the company expanded its product lines to include Bobcat equipment in its Intermountain Bobcat business, and has opened new locations while maintaining its focus on reliable service and long-term relationships as a locally-owned and operated business. This tradition will continue in the company’s ongoing operation of Intermountain Bobcat.

New Idaho Falls Location for Citizens Community Bank

Citizens Community Bank's new location is open for business in Idaho Falls between Super Wal-Mart and Snake River Landing on Utah Avenue. NAI Commerce One's Randy Waters assisted in the FDIC auction of this property that was once home to ANB Financial.

Citizens Community Bank was created by local and regional business men and women over a decade ago to reintroduce focus to old-fashioned, relationship banking. Their goal was to have a bank staffed by people who knew you when you walked through the door, who knew your family, went to the same little- league games, shopped where you shopped, called you by your first name, but most of all, could make local decisions immediately.

A bank dedicated to building our communities through providing loans and financing for homes and business, who believed in neighbors helping neighbors. A bank that was conservative, strong and fair, but most of all, a bank committed to its customers. A bank where you always had a friend you could talk to.

Citizens Community Bank: a dream come true for a group of men and women who expected more from a bank over a decade ago.

The restaurant was open for training from Wednesday through Saturday. Check out this short YouTube video from our lunch on Friday. The food was mouth-watering and the service was great!

About Red Robin

The Red Robin legacy began in the 1940’s with Sam’s Tavern, a small tavern perched on a Seattle hilltop near the University of Washington campus. The owner, Sam, sang in a barber shop quartet and could frequently be heard singing the song, “When the red robin goes bob’ bob’ bobbin’ along.” In fact, Sam loved the song so much that he eventually changed the name of his tavern to Sam’s Red Robin, and over the years it became known simply, as Red Robin.

Today, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc., is a publicly-traded casual dining chain headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado. They serve their Guests an imaginative selection of more than 22 Gourmet Burgers in a variety of recipes with all-you-can-eat Bottomless Steak Fries™. Their menu also includes salads, soups, appetizers, entrees, desserts, children’s fare and their signature Mad Mixology® specialty beverages.

Red Robin has an unparalleled and extraordinary approach to Guest service known as Unbridled Acts. There are thousands of stories of Red Robin Team Members who celebrate the Unbridled philosophy through random acts of kindness they bestow upon restaurant Guests and other Team Members. Each Unbridled Act, regardless of size, is a true testament to Red Robin’s amazing culture and the care they take for each and every Guest.
