RC Willey is excited to announce that we are carrying ORCA coolers and drinkware. ORCA coolers and drinkware far surpass your everyday ice chest or to-go cup. They are proudly made in the USA and an ORCA cooler can hold ice for up to 10 days, which makes it great for camping or hitting the lake. 

I have personally tested a 27 ounce ORCA Chaser cup and I was blown away by how cold my ice water stayed. It measured at a consistent 31.9 degrees for at least 6 hours even as I added more water throughout the day. When I woke up the next morning and the ice had melted the water temp was still in the low 40's - so if you demand an icy cold beverage this cup is for you! 

ORCA Chasers are BPA free and are made of tough stainless steel. They fit in most cupholders and come in a variety of colors and styles. They also keep hot drinks hot as seen in our own test below!

Also, ORCA coolers are bear proof...for real.

Did you know every RC Willey has a Red Tag Clearance Center? It's true! If you are looking for one of a kind merchandise, scratch and dents, or clearance items with out-of-this-world pricing, you need to visit the Red Tag Clearance Center ASAP! Our clearance centers get merchandise daily, from sofas and sectionals to mattresses and bedroom furniture and if you really want to save some money look for the items with a red tag hanging on them. Those are the items that our managers really want to get rid of to make room for new clearance items. Remember, stock changes daily, so make sure you visit often and don't hesitate to buy because once it's gone it might never come back! 

Veterans Day is just around the corner and we wanted to take the opportunity to honor a local veteran, so when Citywide Home Loans asked us to join them in their annual Makeovers From The Heart event, we were excited to help out! 

A little backstory...In 2014, the good people at Citywide Home Loans decided to forgo their annual Christmas party and take the money they would have spent on it to help families in need with home makeovers. In 2015 they wanted a partner to provide furniture, electronics and flooring for all the home makeovers and RC Willey took the opportunity to furnish 11 homes for the nominated families. 

Which brings us to this year and a third partner, KSTU FOX 13. Through a nomination process, the Farnsworth's were nominated by their grandfather as a deserving family of a home makeover. The Farnsworth family includes Joel, a veteran of the U.S. Navy, Sarah his wife, and all their wonderful children. This military family is always helping others and was delighted to work alongside our contractors to help update their home. We initially were just going to do a kitchen remodel but we couldn't help ourselves and the project expanded to give them many updates including new carpet, paint inside and out, new windows, kitchen appliances, countertops in the kitchen and bathroom, a new dining set, beautiful sectional, new front door, a family TV and new bedroom sets/mattresses in every bedroom. Check out the before and after pics as well as the reveal video below!

Here's the kitchen makeover which Joel Farnsworth tiled himself!

The Farnsworth family is so gracious and Joel has already asked to volunteer on helping out another deserving family in the future. Take a moment to watch the video reveal below and if you'd like to join us in Makeovers With A Heart we would love to have your help! And thanks again to Citywide Home Loans for starting this annual event, inviting us to help, and for all the help FOX 13 has given us along the way.

 With Halloween behind us, Thanksgiving 2016 will be here before we know it. That means it is time to start thinking menus, decorations, and how to fit more people around your dining room table!

Table centerpieces are always a lovely addition to any event and Thanksgiving is definitely the Super Bowl of dinner events! It can help set the mood for your meal as much as it is a fun way to be creative and express yourself. It really helps to make the overall event memorable and leaves a lasting impression.

 The great thing is, making a centerpiece doesn’t have to be complicated or cost a fortune. With a little imagination, some stuff you already have at home (think candles, fruit, and fall leaves) and a trip to the craft store, you can create a gorgeous table where all of your family and friends can gather and make new memories.

 RC Willey also has great accesories like trays and candles that can help you put a gorgeous table together. After Thanksgiving is over, you can make good use of them in other areas of your home!
