President/Owner

Keith A. Bolles

Keith A. Bolles was born to work at Saybrook Home, unofficially getting his start emptying wastebaskets for a buck a bin at the age of four. After graduating from Dickinson College and working briefly for a private equity firm, Keith returned to Saybrook Home to work in the business his Grandmother had started full time.

When not working, Keith enjoys cooking with his wife, golfing with either friends or his dad, volunteering at Special Olympics with his sister Lindsey, or watching whatever sporting event happens to be on. Keith looks forward to carrying on the legacy established by his Grandmother and parents at Saybrook Home, and continuing to provide the best products, with the best service to the Connecticut community and beyond.

CEO

Keith Bolles, Sr.

An entrepreneur at heart, Keith began his journey with Saybrook Home in 1977 right after graduating from Southern Connecticut State University. He and his wife Jane and their family, Lindsay, Kara, and Keith have all worked together to help grow the family-owned business. Over the past 50 years, Keith has been passionate about supporting the town of Old Saybrook and its merchants. He has been an active member of the Chamber of Commerce and was the founder of the Main Street Business Association.

Keith appreciates the value of family and enjoys meeting the next generation of his customer’s children coming to the store to purchase their first piece of furniture. He also has deep respect and admiration for the loyalty of his employees and how hard they work to exceed their customer’s expectations; some of his employees have been with him 30+ years before retiring.

Keith enjoys his spare time on the golf course, with his family, and taking a brisk walk with his beloved dogs.
