About Us

Nick's Paints is the area's premier painting supplies store serving Champaign, Urbana and the surrounding areas since 2006. Established by Nic Kemen and Nik Lyons, Nick's Paints was opened to provide the best customer service with the industry's best products while giving a personalized experience. Nic and Nik bought an existing family-owned paint store whose owner was retiring, combined paint industry experience, and Nick's Paints was created. Nick's Paints is a family-owned, local paint store proud to serve our Central Illinois area, including Champaign, Urbana, Savoy, St. Joseph, Rantoul, Monticello, Mahomet, Tuscola, and surrounding areas.
