Our Family Story: 63 Years of Paint Store History in Southwest Washington
From a small paint store vision in 1962 to serving customers from Bellevue, Washington to Molalla, Oregon, discover how Bob's Paint Land became the trusted family-owned paint store across Clark and Cowlitz Counties.
Grandpa Bob founded Bob's Paint Land with a simple vision to succeed and serve Southwest Washington families. The first location opened just off 63rd Street in Vancouver, establishing the foundation of our family-owned paint store legacy that continues today.
The paint store grew steadily, moving to its current Vancouver location in Hazel Dell on the corner of 99th Street and Hwy 99. Katie, Bob's granddaughter, started working at the family business during elementary school, organizing wallpaper books and alphabetizing invoices while learning the paint industry from the ground up.
Katie met Jared, and her father asked him to join Bob's Paint Land. Jared brought fresh perspectives to the family business while maintaining the personal service and community focus that made the paint store successful across Clark County.
Katie and Jared purchased the business from Katie's parents, allowing them to retire while ensuring the family legacy continued. The couple took over operations with deep knowledge of paint expertise and strong community connections throughout Southwest Washington.
Under Katie and Jared's leadership, Bob's Paint Land expanded services from Bellevue, Washington to Molalla, Oregon. The company opened its second location in Longview at 1158 11th Avenue, serving both Clark and Cowlitz County communities with premium paint products and custom services.
Now with 12 employees and their 16-year-old son learning the business, Bob's Paint Land continues the family tradition. The company maintains its core values of exceptional customer service, community support, and paint expertise while planning a third location north of Longview.
