The Designery expands into Pennsylvania with a new location in Quakertown

2023-12-04T17:55:42-05:00December 4th, 2023|

New concept brings design expertise, product selection and virtual reality technology to kitchen, bathroom and closet design with project management and expert installation

QUAKERTOWN, Pa. — The Designery, an immersive, full-service kitchen, bath and closet design center featuring high-quality cabinets, countertops and flooring, will host a grand opening celebration Dec. 7 from noon to 3 p.m. at  280 N. West End Blvd. B, Quakertown, PA.

Owner Rebecca Merola and store manager Ted Fisher have already been introducing their new Designery location at local home shows in the area prior to this grand opening event, including the Bucks & Montgomery County Fall Home Show and the Lehigh Valley Fall Home Show.

Thursday’s grand opening festivities kick off with a ribbon cutting by the Upper Bucks Chamber of Commerce. There will be a local caricaturist on hand and the event is catered by Nourish, a local woman-owned restaurant. The Designery will also present some of its stunning designs on an Oculus setup. Prizes will also be available, including a Designery Swag Bag, a package for a family of four to the Philadelphia Zoo LumiNature, and a chance to get $1,000 off a dream kitchen.

The husband-and-wife team of Fisher and Merola say their Designery location offers personalized design guidance and installation services for remodeling, renovation or new construction.

“We both have enjoyed watching HGTV and taking on small projects in our own home and in our rental property, so when we heard about The Designery, it checked all our boxes of interest,” Merola said. “The more we researched, the more we discovered there were unmet needs in this area. We hope to take away the stress of finding your own contractor and managing your installation while providing an exceptional finished product.”

Merola built her career with an electronics design and manufacturing company, holding various roles in management, sales and operations during her 15-year tenure with the company. After a successful career, she and Fisher, a former math teacher and stay-at-home dad, decided it was time to become their own bosses.

The couple met while attending Lehigh University. They have been married since 2007 and have two sons, Oliver and Benjamin.

“We want to build something that is ours and something that our children can benefit from,” Merola said. “We want them to learn about running a business with the potential of taking over this company someday.”

Fisher said the area, located between the metropolitan areas of Allentown and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and New York City, has a lot of homes that were built more than 20 years ago. Families are looking to refresh and update their kitchens and bathrooms.

“Sometimes you buy a house and don’t understand why the previous owners built something a certain way,” he said. “We want to help those people renovate their homes so that it better suits their needs or to help them update older designs.”

The in-house design expertise and extensive selection of products, including more than 100 cabinet styles, provide advantages to both homeowners and contractors. The Designery’s showroom is the ideal setting for personal design consultation, material and finish selection, and a virtual reality design view.

“We want to be a stable influence in the community,” Merola said. “It’s our goal to provide good jobs and build on the positive image of the area.”

About The Designery

The Designery was founded in 2007 as A1 Kitchen and Bath, a product wholesale outlet serving the Chattanooga, Tennessee market. In 2019, it rebranded as The Designery and established a franchise model to expand its unique concept: to simplify the kitchen, bath and closet design process by offering premium products, design expertise, project management and trusted professional installation. Its selection of high-quality cabinets, flooring, countertops and accessories makes it a destination for any remodeling, renovation or new construction project. It is a one-stop shop for homeowners and a trusted partner or contractors, with knowledgeable staff to walk clients through every step, from design to project management and installation.

School Funding Franchise Apex Leadership Company Achieves Remarkable Growth Under New Leadership

2023-12-01T18:36:32-05:00December 1st, 2023|Tags: , , |

Demand for Business Results in Franchise Surge, New Market Expansion and Record-Breaking Fundraising

HOUSTON — Apex Leadership Company, a dynamic child enrichment franchise pouring millions of dollars into elementary and middle schools each year, is poised to continue its dominance as the nation’s leader in school fundraising due to its refreshed growth strategy. The company has doubled the size of its leadership team, attracted a world-class board of investors and ramped up both fundraising efforts and franchise growth in the past two years after being acquired by CEO Jamie Krasnov, who spent the last decade in private equity before buying the tech-focused fundraising franchise.

Since purchasing the brand in 2021, Krasnov has been working tirelessly to expand Apex Leadership, the current leader in the K-8 event fundraising space, with the goal of raising more money for schools across the nation with engaging fundraising events that motivate kids, teach leadership lessons and inspire fitness. Compared to traditional school fundraisers, Apex’s programs produce two times the fundraising results.

Key recent company milestones include:

  • New Executive Hires: Apex named Blair Burdette as Vice President of Marketing. Burdette has led marketing efforts across multiple industries, including franchised childcare, and holds an impressive record for driving sales and increasing brand loyalty. The company also appointed Tony Nicholson as Vice President of Franchise Development. With nearly two decades in franchise development, Nicholson previously worked for Self Esteem Brands, LLC where he facilitated the openings of hundreds of franchises, a success he plans to replicate with Apex.
  • Unprecedented Fundraising Growth: The brand has experienced 200 percent revenue growth since 2021. In 2023 alone, Apex hosted more than 1,700 events, an impressive surge from the 1,400 events held the prior year.
  • Expanded Presence in New Markets: Apex Leadership is expanding its presence in new markets across the country. Recent openings in Portland, OR; Seattle, WA; Barrington, IL; Montgomery County, MD; and two locations each in St. Louis, MO, and Phoenix, AZ show the demand for the programs nationwide.

“It’s been remarkable to reflect on the journey we as a brand have undergone over these past two years to get to the point where we are today, which is propelling Apex Leadership forward at an astonishing rate,” said Krasnov. “These achievements are a testament to the hard work of our franchisees, athletes and executive team who are all passionate to bring back funds into schools. We’re ready to head into the new year and expand our service into more communities and help empower a greater number of students nationwide.”

Apex Leadership Company is the current leader in K-8 event fundraising space, hosting more than 1,500 events annually and raising more than $60 million for schools a year. The brand combines fitness, fundraising and leadership into a powerful, turnkey event for schools to raise a significant amount of funds and instill students with meaningful character development lessons. With over a decade as a leader in the fundraising industry, Apex currently serves 122 and growing territories across 33 states.

Top Rail Fence moves into Florida with a new Tampa location

2023-12-01T18:27:15-05:00December 1st, 2023|Tags: , , , |

Local owners Matthew and Alicia Heck will kickstart their fencing business by presenting the Tampa Bay Humane Society with a donation from the new venture

TAMPA, Fla. — Top Rail Fence, the on-time professionals in fence design, quality, installation and service, will host the grand opening of its Tampa location with a celebration at the Tampa Bay Humane Society at 9 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 8. Location owners Matthew and Alicia Heck will present the animal welfare group with a donation.

“We decided to partner with the Tampa Bay Humane Society because of the obvious connection between pets and fences,” Matthew Heck said. “We’re proud to build a business in our local community and want to be known for our exceptional customer service and reliability. We want to make our community better by building strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing fences and by partnering with valuable non-profits like the local humane society.”

Top Rail Fence Tampa has also joined the Tampa Bay Business Chamber, and many of that group’s members will be on hand at the event to help the Hecks celebrate their grand opening, complete with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

The Hecks were both born and raised in Indiana but moved to the Tampa area more than 10 years ago. Matthew Heck worked as a sales and marketing executive for a local television station and an advertising agency before moving into business ownership. Alicia Heck is an interior designer specializing in custom closets and accent walls.

The couple met at Ball State University in Indiana. Matthew Heck has a bachelor’s degree in telecommunications with a minor in marketing, while Alicia Heck has a bachelor’s degree in interior design with a minor in residential property management. The couple has three children.

Alicia Heck said she believes her background in design and property management will help the couple build their business.

“My ability to take inspiration and turn it into a working design will help homeowners find the fencing of their dreams,” she said. “But we also want to offer customers these fences at a fair and reasonable price. We want to be known as a fencing company that cares about our clients by being innovative and dependable.”

Top Rail Fence Tampa serves residents in Carrollwood, Davis Islands, Lake Magdalene, Land O Lakes, Lutz, Midtown, Odessa, Seminole Heights, Tampa, Temple Terrace, Town ‘N’ Country, University, Wesley Chapel, Westchase and Zephyrhills, Florida.

There are key business attributes that make a business “franchisable”, however, the first question is more about the founder than the fundamentals of the business.
