Fall 2022 5 BUSINESS connections Pregont’s Thoughts on Rainbow Justin Pregont, Owner of Pomeroy Development, had no trouble developing messages about Rainbow. Here are some of his thoughts on what it’s been like as a Rainbow business customer: “ Working with Rainbow has been awesome for me. All it takes is a phone call and they’ll meet me on site.” “ There’s always a real person I can call and talk to at Rainbow—someone with a pulse and a soul. It’s so much easier to work with someone you personally know.” “ With Rainbow, it’s not just a transaction. Rainbow truly cares about the community and is interested in much more than just making money.They’re doing all the right things.” 2016, some Atchison residents thought the old building should be torn down and replaced with a parking lot. Not surprisingly, Pregont didn’t share that view. He said, “It was insanely important to me to repurpose the beautiful old YMCA. I knew it would make a great apartment building.” In a press release about 1913 Apartments when the building opened in 2020, Pregont listed the top five features— premium countertops, slate-toned appliances, an elevator to all four levels, laundry facilities in each unit, and “the fastest internet available to any residential building in Atchison.”That last feature was thanks to Rainbow. Modernizing with Rainbow Fiber Jerad Enneking, Business Solutions Manager, said, “1913 Apartments was the first building Rainbow installed fiber to in Atchison, and it was an MDU (multi-dwelling unit) project. We ran direct fiber access into its 17 apartments during the renovation process, when the walls were opened up. Given the building’s historic nature, it was important to get the lines into each unit in an inconspicuous way.” Tenants of 1913 Apartments now have easy access to Rainbow’s Fiber Internet, Premium Wi-Fi, and Residential Phone services. All a tenant has to do is call Rainbow. Enneking said, “Rainbow has a good relationship with Pomeroy Development, and we understand Justin Pregont’s vision. It’s our pleasure to install modern technology in historic buildings and help enhance the Atchison community.” An Easy Process What does Pregont appreciate most about doing business with Rainbow? Pregont replied, “I appreciate many things. First of all, Rainbow is present in the Atchison community. Their employees are active in civic organizations and events, and I see them out and about. It’s so much easier to work with someone you personally know. With Rainbow, it’s not just a transaction. Rainbow truly cares about the community and is interested in much more than just making money. They’re doing all the right things.” He continued, “Working with Rainbow has been awesome for me. All it takes is a phone call, and they’ll meet me on site. I see Rainbow as an anti-bureaucratic company. They make the process extraordinarily easy on me as the customer.”
