Service
Our tagline says it all, and we mean it! We make every effort to deliver your order on time and complete, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
From groceries to deck supplies and personal C.O.D.’s, we look endlessly to fill your request. We have an ample variety of stores and suppliers available in our local area which allow us to fulfill almost any request. If there is ever a case where we are unable to meet your needs, we are committed to contacting you prior to delivery to see if you would like to substitute or omit. You will always know before we meet you on the water if something you requested is not available.
Freshest Produce
We learned very early on that fresh, nutritious, vegetables were going to be a cornerstone of our business. We are fortunate to have teamed up with a local vegetable farmer who can provide us with almost any staple vegetables when in season—like green and red tomatoes, sweet corn, cucumbers, cabbage, zucchini, yellow squash, peppers, eggplant, and a variety of fall squash. Lovingly nicknamed “Tomato Bob,” his farm is located six short miles from our facilities, and we can receive fresh produce daily. Literally fresh from the field, you would be hard-pressed to find nicer vegetables at any farmers market throughout the country!
When items are not in season, we are fortunate to have a local vegetable produce market that specializes mainly in vegetables. They receive fresh produce daily and we are hand-picking your produce per order, which ensures you receive the freshest and best produce available to us.
Who We Are
We are Kevin and Christie McConville. Christie and I have a mutual love of the beautiful Mississippi River and have been avid boaters since we were married 25 years ago. We are so excited to have this opportunity to serve you and begin this new chapter of our lives. We are truly committed to providing an exceptional level of service and to help us achieve that goal, we have expert mentors in Carol and Pete Koutsky, previous owners of Carol’s Midstream. With more than 40 years of experience in the boat supply business, they have agreed to show us the ropes and give us insight into how to serve you best.
Christie and I both grew up right here in Winona and are fortunate to have had the river as a part of our lives since we were kids. Our families boated, fished and camped on the river for many years and we are true River Rats to our core. I have 38 years of experience operating a boat. Starting at age 6, my summer job through age 18 was helping my father perform research on the Upper Mississippi River pools 5, 5a and 6.
I graduated with a degree in Aviation Mechanics and for the past 22 years have been a production engineer for a local manufacturing company. I consider this opportunity to be my dream job. Besides boating, my other pastimes are fishing, snowmobiling, marine upholstery, refurbishing boats and fixing anything mechanical.
Christie has a degree in Business Administration and has been involved in the insurance industry. Her customer service skills are second to none, and she is looking forward to being involved in the daily operations of the business.
Maddy, our daughter, is highly involved in her school, and enjoys friends and excels at competitive speech. She is one heck of a great kid, when she’s not busy traveling with the marching band, she also helps us out in the summer.
We look forward to seeing you on the water!
Kevin, Christie & Maddy McConville
