Temporary Wall Systems Opening New Locations in Kansas and Missouri

2023-09-15T10:00:00-04:00September 15th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

Local owners in Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas team up to provide the temporary, rentable containment walls on both sides of the city’s state line divide. 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first and leading full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, is opening two new locations on both sides of the Missouri–Kansas state line and will showcase their rentable wall solutions at Innovation Expo 2023 on Tuesday, Sept. 19.

Innovation Expo is held from 8 to 11 a.m. at The Builders Training Center on 105 W. 12th Avenue, North Kansas City, Missouri. The expo allows exhibitors to demonstrate the latest in construction technology to industry professionals.

For Cody and Andrea Herbster, owning the TWS in Kansas City, Kansas, is a goal the husband-and-wife duo has wanted to achieve for several years. The couple expects these easy-to-build and easy-to-remove walls will save contractors in their area hours, if not days, on building containment walls during renovations and construction.

“I’ve talked to several contractors in this area, and they are adamant about the need for these walls,” Cody Herbster said. “We want to build long-lasting relationships with members of the contracting community. Having a product that saves time and headaches will go a long way toward building those relationships.”

The Herbsters’ counterpart in Kansas City, Missouri, Mike Macy, agrees that the product helps contractors. He further points out that the walls are a cleaner and more environmentally friendly alternative to using permanent construction material for temporary containment walls.

“Owning and operating my own business has been a dream of mine for several years,” Macy said. “Introducing an ecologically sound product that also saves contractors time and money is a win-win for both the construction industry and the environment. It’s an honor to be able to provide this product to the Kansas City construction community.”

Both sets of owners said that the Kansas City Metro area is growing, and they see that many new businesses are being adaptive in renovating older buildings. The owners will work together to ensure the divided city’s contractors have the ability to use the eco-friendly and reusable walls to protect people and property from the dangers of construction and renovation projects.

Herbster is a Kansas native and has lived in Kansas City most of his life. He spent the last decade of his career in real estate development and understands the needs of general contractors as a result.

Macy grew up in South Dakota, but has now lived in Kansas City, Missouri, for more than half his life. He enjoys the small town feel of Kansas City even though the city has more than 2.3 million residents.

TWS is part of HomeFront Brands, a family of emerging, franchised residential and commercial property service brands that offers integrated technology, data support, lead generation, business intelligence systems and training to its partners.

This dynamic collaboration is all about bringing a fresh and exciting take on service treatments, designed to help those who struggle with breakouts to achieve their healthiest, glowiest skin yet.

“We’re delighted to join forces with Dermalogica to introduce their Clear Start by Dermalogica collection at Hand & Stone. Over the last 24 months, we’ve seen a meaningful percentage of the growing base of skin-centric consumers skewing younger, and this demo is incredibly knowledgeable about available skin treatments thanks to TikTok, Instagram, and Youtube,” said Lisa Rossmann, SVP of Service and Product at Hand & Stone. “Last year, Hand & Stone added several budget-friendly facial tool enhancements to the menu to appeal to these consumers, such as Ice Globe and Gua Stone massage, along with ultrasonic technology.

“We’re on a mission to make acne skincare fun, but without compromising on results, or your skin barrier. Our products really deliver, and to bring them into a new exclusive treatment with Hand & Stone really takes our offering to the next level,” said Hannah Amor, Business Leader for Clear Start. We know our Gen Z consumer is looking for new ways to get clearer, healthier skin, but in an increasingly shorter timeframe. The new treatment with Hand & Stone allows them to see results fast, helping to clear, fade and even prevent future breakouts. Hand & Stone is the perfect partner for us, bringing their expertise of the newest treatment trends and pairing that with Clear Start and Dermalogica’s professional-grade range of products.”

The Prevent & Glow treatment and Clear Start Body Treatment will each be offered as both 30-minute or 50-minute treatments and will leverage human touch paired with technology. Each treatment has a range of customizable options including Dermalogica’s Pro Pen NanoInfusion, LED light therapy, Gua Sha and more. Treatments can be booked as one-offs or as part of a longer, clear skin maintenance series.

HomeFront Brands Names Michael O’Driscoll President of Franchising

2023-09-12T10:32:23-04:00September 12th, 2023|Tags: , , , , , |

Multi-Brand Franchise Platform Promotes Accomplished Executive to Further Company’s Commitment to Being a Franchisee-First Focused Organization; Maintains COO Role. 

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — HomeFront Brands, the property service franchise platform with six emerging concepts in its franchise portfolio (Window Hero, The Designery, Temporary Wall Systems, BiltRite Home Inspections, Top Rail Fence and Mozzie Dome), announced that it has appointed Michael O’Driscoll to the role of President of Franchising. Promoted to oversee and lead the company’s operations, marketing and finance departments, O’Driscoll is heading the HomeFront Brands efforts to scale the leadership and corporate support teams, as well as its robust shared services programs, to reinforce the company’s commitment to supporting franchisees

“Over the years, I’ve had the chance to hone in on the core of what it takes to create a winning franchise business, and HomeFront Brands is the embodiment of just that,” said O’Driscoll, who brandishes a 36-year career in franchising holding executive level roles with both U.S.-based and overseas-based companies. “In early 2022, Chairman and CEO Jeff Dudan launched HomeFront Brands to be the most responsible franchise platform. His approach to put the franchisee at the center of everything we do hit home with me and it’s working wonderfully. Our first 12 months have been nothing short of extraordinary. We still have plenty of work to do to fully build out our support model for franchisees. The job will never really be done.”

O’Driscoll’s time with HomeFront Brands began less than nine months after its launch, serving as the company’s COO, a role he maintains along with his new title. His responsibilities thus far have included oversight of franchisee onboarding, franchisee coaching, call center operations, technology, data analytics, learning and development and the company’s annual convention. A key contributor to the HomeFront Brands shared services model, the franchise industry veteran brings more than three decades of experience to the President of Franchising position. Like with HomeFront Brands, the companies he has worked for have primarily been in property services, although he’s seen the sector at a global level. Launching his career in Australia, his home country, O’Driscoll has held leadership positions at the franchisor and franchise supplier levels with expertise in building models to scale, operations and finance. He is a proven company leader and successful entrepreneur in the franchise industry.

“Few are as dynamic as Michael,” said Dudan, who, before hiring O’Driscoll as a HomeFront Brands executive, turned to him as a consultant. “He was a key focal point for me in building out the company, and someone I trust implicitly to see through our goals.”

Working closely with Dudan to continue to elevate HomeFront Brands and cement it as an enterprise level business based on family values, O’Driscoll has his sights set on the company’s 10-year plan to build a 100-year company. As part of the leadership team, within the past year, HomeFront Brands and its platform’s six franchise brands, Window Hero, The Designery, Temporary Wall Systems, BiltRite Home Inspections, Top Rail Fence and Mozzie Dome, have opened more than 100 territories, with another 100-plus sold and in the process of opening. He has shaped each of the concepts as attractive franchise investments with minimized barriers to entry – lower start-up costs, fast to open, quick to generate revenue and simplified multi-concept, multi-territory ownership. He has implemented a world class learning management system which reduces training time and is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

In addition to his successes at HomeFront Brands and prior, O’Driscoll has been active in franchise advocacy and industrywide leadership, serving on Boards and committees for the Franchise Council of Australia and the International Franchise Association, for which he currently serves on the Membership Committee.

About HomeFront Brands

HomeFront Brands offers community-based franchise opportunities to aspiring entrepreneurs seeking to build a dynasty and create generational wealth. By leveraging data-driven insights and enterprise level solutions with a focus on responsible franchising, the brand is accelerating the growth of its portfolio of property service franchise concepts.

In Augusta, newly-opened tours allow riders to explore the Riverwalk. Routes begin and end at the brand new OutSyde Bar and Patio.

“People usually don’t want the fun to end after the ride,” said Augusta co-owner Syderist Manuel. “We opened OutSyde to give people a really unique eat, drink and pedal experience.”

In Savannah, the business has been locally owned and operated for more than 10 years, with routes weaving through 18th-century historical monuments and buildings.

“Every stop allows riders to see history and visit local bars,” said Savannah owner and managing director Marshall Young. “Savannah allows riders to grab a to-go drink to enjoy their surroundings and bring it back onto the bike.”

Columbus Pedal Pub riders get immersed in authentic local experiences while circling the Chattahoochee River. This new location opened with a vision: give people the best view of downtown’s Riverwalk while highlighting the city’s amazing food and drinks.

“Columbus is a former mill town and our party bikes are the most unique and interactive way to explore,” said Columbus owner Antwane Darby. “We combine outdoor activity, sightseeing, historic events, culture, food and drink in a 2-hour tour.”

Started in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Pedal Pub has more than 60 locations across North America. For more information and booking, visit pedalpub.com/locations/.
