How to Receive<\/strong>
\nThere are three Atkinsons\u2019 Markets in the Wood River Valley. Each is a pleasure to shop and, locally owned, feels good to support. The produce is phenomenal and the juices\u2014oh wow\u2014that fresh-squeezed blood orange is an absolute staple in our fridge. Plus fine items you just can\u2019t find anywhere else. The Bellevue Atkinsons\u2019 has become a favorite\u2014less traffic, a larger parking lot and fine goods.
\nMore than that, it\u2019s the people like Kelly Granillo, whose beautiful, friendly smile, bright attitude and lovely mannerisms are the immediate qualities that make you want to go back, to enter her sphere and chat. Even when brief, Kelly always offers a warm moment. With so many great people in this community, it\u2019s tough to say, but she\u2019s definitely in the top five most-friendly people you will encounter.<\/p>\n

A Story We Know<\/strong>
\nKelly has been in the Valley for nearly 40 years. \u201cI came on vacation in the summer of 1985. I lived in Utah at the time, and I came up here and just fell in love, so I told my husband at the time, we\u2019re going to move. And he said, no. You know (laughter), so I went back and I gave my two weeks\u2019 notice! I worked at a country club down there, came up here and started working for a treatment center for the first couple of years.\u201d
\nKelly landed in Ketchum, initially. \u201cOh, Ketchum was, gee, Ketchum was a blast. It was a lot of fun. So much fun. A lot of intermingling with all sorts of different people. Even, you know, famous people. It wasn\u2019t unusual to see them out and about. It was really a laid-back town.\u201d
\nThis we hear from everyone who\u2019s been here for a while.<\/p>\n

Time Flies<\/strong>
\nOriginally a painter, Kelly now has 15 years with Atkinsons\u2019. \u201cI painted houses for most of my life and did furniture finishing. So, I got older and my knees just didn\u2019t work like they used to. Ladders were kind of out of the question and roofs and stuff like that.
\nSo, I got on at Atkinsons\u2019 in Hailey for the first 15. Now I\u2019m here in Bellevue, which I love.\u201d
\nKelly has two sons and two grandchildren in Hailey. She gets to spend sweet holidays with loved ones. A huge fan of UFC, her son Dylan is the light heavyweight champion of Idaho. \u201cHe\u2019s just a little dude. But he\u2019s strong. Strong and fast.\u201d
\nMax and Zuco are her husky and Great Pyrenees, who she loves taking on walks and enjoying the outdoors with.<\/p>\n

Community in Action<\/strong>
\nKelly\u2019s maxim: \u201cJust keep being kind to people. It makes a difference. I see people every day and we don\u2019t know what they\u2019re going through. So try to be nice. It\u2019s not hard. That\u2019s my whole thing, entirely.\u201d
\nBeautifully said, that is exactly who Kelly is and she\u2019s a joy to be around, keeping the community light lit. Go see her at Bellevue Atkinsons\u2019, mention this article and make a friend! She\u2019s a lovely soul, absolutely adorable. Her voice alone puts you at ease.<\/p>\n
