The Sky is the Limit

After more than a century, the future at Johnson Brothers has never looked brighter.

Shout-out to our friends over at Idaho Falls Magazine for putting together a feature story on our family business. Here’s a look:

 

The enduring success of family-owned companies rests on succession. Johnson Brothers is no exception. Founded more than a century ago, the business is still a mainstay in downtown Idaho Falls, with a location in Boise and a business footprint that spans the West.

Representing the fifth generation at the helm, the current leadership team of Zac Bodily and Chris Sargis draw on their personal predispositions to perpetuate the growth trajectory.

“We stand on the shoulders of previous generations.”

– Zac Bodily

You may recognize President and co-owner Zac Bodily. From coaching youth baseball to scaling area mountain peaks, Bodily strives for perfection in all of life’s endeavors. Overseeing the operational and production aspect of the company is the perfect focus for his quiet, driven and detail-loving personality.

His counterpart, co-owner and VP of Sales Chris Sargis shows his civic pride through the Exchange Club of Idaho Falls. From providing U.S. flags to kids during the Fourth-of-July Parade, to donating copious hours of time to the annual Field of Honor Veterans Memorial, he’s a visible embodiment of the J-Bros way, who also has a penchant for vintage cars and golf.

The two credit the company’s longevity and growth to loyal employees.

“The strength of this company rests with the employees,” Sargis said. “The median tenure of our staff averages 15 years. That kind of stability fosters an environment for sustained growth.”

Currently J-Bros is a force in the western states, supplying building materials, custom millwork and casework to sought-after professional contractors and architects. To the public they share a unique one-on-one retail expertise with merchandise stocked for all types of building, construction and decorating projects. With a primary focus on windows, doors and interior finishes.

Like their predecessors, the new leadership duo plans to continue the family tradition of
balancing opportunity with excellence.

“We stand on the shoulders of previous generations that have labored and sacrificed to keep this family-business opportunity alive,” Bodily said. “We are committed to continued effort not only for our children, but also for each employee that relies upon the company’s success for their own families.”

Whether you’re searching for windows, interior or exterior doors, or cabinet hardware don’t pass up the chance to visit Johnson Brothers on Basalt Street in Idaho Falls, and on Cole Road in Boise.

We feel that Thanksgiving is the perfect time to pause and reflect upon the good for which we are grateful. From the retirement of our longtime Chief, David Sargis, and subsequent restructuring, and our contractors and builders topping off a record year, to our employees and industry partners who have risen and met the market demand and changes – to say the least, it’s been quite a year.

Of course, to the western states we are proud to work within, we believe that this synergy carries forth into the communities as well. Schools, churches, and important architectural buildings will shelter us for years to come. We are truly grateful for our involvement in these amazing projects and important structures. We cherish these opportunities to work with our friends, neighbors and communities. Since 1905 we’ve learned, grown, and improved from our experiences with all of you. We are thankful for the opportunity to share our expertise through personalized care and quality products.

The team at Johnson Brothers would like to toast you all for your dedication to our mission and to your most outstanding work and acknowledge your integral part of making 2022 a sprint to the finish line.

From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.
