Chris and Rachel Duggan are the owners and operators of the Zoom Drain Indianapolis location. The Duggans have more than 40 years of customer service experience, 30 years of sales expertise, and 12 years of management acumen combined. Chris is the Vice President of Residential Sales for a fiber optic Internet company, and Rachel is a Senior Mortgage Loan Officer for a bank.

In August 2022, a franchise recruiter reached out to Rachel, and the Duggans took it as a sign to start investigating opening a business in the greater Indianapolis area. They were interested in owning a company that would both help strengthen the local economy and prepare them for retirement.

“From the very start, when learning about the Zoom Drain concept, we felt like this would be a business concept that we could capitalize on in the Indy market. This is a business whose entire model is based on helping people,” the Duggans say. “Zoom Drain has all of the systems, processes, and people in place to help make each franchisee a strong and knowledgeable competitor in their market, all while being able to help the communities, they live in. We are excited to bring on our team and help local Indianapolis area residents with their drain and sewer needs. There is nothing more satisfying than helping someone in need. And we’ve all been there- if your drain isn’t draining, you need some help!”

Zoom Drain provides around-the-clock residential and commercial services centering on drain and sewer cleaning, sewer pipe video inspections, grease trap maintenance, and much more. From clogged sinks and bathtubs to main sewer line blockages, Zoom Drain utilizes five different drain cleaning machines and a custom hydro-jetter to tackle any sewage issue that arises. Customers include commercial property managers, contractors, plumbers, and homeowners needing immediate drain and sewage solutions.

Zoom Drain prides itself on consistently providing swift, dependable service by expertly-trained specialists for emergency and planned maintenance service needs – everything that has to do with wastewater management. Zoom Drain is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, and there’s never any additional cost for “off-hours” service such as nights, weekends, or even holidays.

“We are thrilled to have Chris and Rachel join the Zoom Drain team and bring their expert services to Indianapolis,” said Jim Criniti, CEO of Zoom Drain. “Drain and sewer emergencies are a nightmare for anyone, so offering skilled and reliable services to the Indianapolis community is our priority. We look forward to growing our brand in the area and beyond.”

Ten years of supporting veterans continues when you “Help A Hero” at your local Sport Clips Haircuts

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-10-10T09:07:17-04:00October 9th, 2023|Tags: haircuts for men and boys, personal care services, Sport Clips, sports-themed haircutting franchise, veterans|

The largest scholarship program of its kind celebrates a decade of helping service members pursue education to transition to civilian careers.

GEORGETOWN, Texas — To mark the 10th year of supporting veterans through Help A Hero Scholarships, Sport Clips Haircuts today launches its annual promotion to raise $1.7 million by Nov. 11. The campaign supports the VFW’s “Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship” program, which provides funds for education for veterans and service members to transition to post-military civilian careers. Over the next five weeks, Sport Clips clients, team members, and franchisees can donate in-store at check-out or online with 100 percent of donations going toward veteran scholarships. Participating Sport Clips stores will also donate $2 from every hair care service provided on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, and many locations will also offer free Veterans Day haircuts for veterans and active duty service members.

In 2013, a drawdown of troops prompted veteran-founded Sport Clips to step up to meet the need for education funds that extend beyond GI Bill benefits to more fully cover the costs service members often need to complete degrees and training after the military. Sport Clips Founder and Chairman Gordon Logan, a VFW Life member and Air Force veteran who flew C-130s in Southeast Asia, is the heart behind Help A Hero Scholarships, a program that has now become the largest of its kind.

“For Sport Clips, giving back, especially to our military community, has been a core component of our business. Our stylists are key to making this program a success, and they really demonstrate our overall commitment to honoring veterans because they drive this promotion at the store level and get our clients excited to make a donation,” Logan says. “As a part of our philanthropic work, we recognize most Americans want to support companies that give back. It is our honor to support those who serve our country through the Help A Hero Scholarship program as part of our overall dedication to providing Haircuts with Heart.”

“The costs of higher education continue to soar, so ensuring that our nation’s service members and veterans have the aid and support they need to be successful after their military career is over continues to be a top priority for the VFW,” said VFW National Commander Duane Sarmiento. “Transitioning out of the military can be difficult, but with the help of Sport Clips and its patrons, we’re able to eliminate some of the stress that comes with student loan debt.”

To date, Help A Hero funds have supported more than 2,720 scholarships through the $12.3 million Sport Clips, its clients, stylists and product partners have donated to the VFW Foundation. In addition to in-store donations, you can also text “HERO” to 71777 for an easy, online giving option. Help A Hero scholarships range up to $5,000 per semester and help cover the cost of tuition and fees for military and service members with the rank of E-5 and below. Help A Hero scholarships are awarded to qualified veterans across all branches of the military by sending the funds directly to the college or technical school of their choice. To apply for and learn more about how these scholarships are impacting the lives of veterans, visit SportClips.com/Hero.

Local owner Matt Greene and General Manager Kristin Lum-Perreira will host an event at the Air Force Academy game this weekend and a grand opening luncheon in October.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Matt Greene, a 23-year U.S. Air Force veteran and current construction company chief, announced today that the company will host an event for Temporary Wall Systems (TWS) Colorado Springs, the first and leading full-service temporary containment wall provider in the United States, at the Air Force Falcons game against the San Diego State Aztecs on Saturday, Sept. 30.

Greene and his general manager, Kristin Lum-Perreira, will have models of the containment walls on display at the game held at the Air Force Academy stadium in Academy, Colorado.

They will also host a grand opening lunch and learn event on Oct. 13 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at their new office at 3104 Century Street, Colorado Springs, Colorado. The wall containment company will provide a barbeque meal for attendees of the luncheon event.

Lum-Perreira will handle TWS Colorado Springs’ day-to-day operations while Greene continues his role as the CEO of MAVericks Construction, also located in Colorado Springs.

“Colorado Springs is a booming city with a thriving high-tech, military, healthcare and tourism base,” Greene said. “Because the city is undergoing this wave of expansion, Temporary Wall Systems Colorado Springs will fill a very real need in the community. Our rentable and reusable containment walls are a perfect option for businesses to separate people and property from ongoing renovations and construction so they stay safe and protected.”

Greene, an Arkansas native, moved to Colorado Springs in 1989 to attend the United States Air Force Academy. After retiring from the Air Force in 2017, he started MAVericks Construction. He also received a master’s degree in civil engineering from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.

Lum-Perreira worked as the business office manager for another local federal contractor before being named general manager of TWS Colorado Springs. She was born in Tacoma, Washington, but moved to Oahu, Hawaii, where she was raised. She moved to Colorado Springs in 2019 and has worked in operations and management for a variety of companies in residential and commercial construction and federal contract management.

“I love the challenge of starting new things, so it’s exciting to be a part of a brand-new company,” she said. “Matt and his team are tremendously supportive and are proven winners. It will be an honor to learn from him and expand TWS Colorado Springs during this time of growth for the city.”

Greene says he hopes TWS Colorado Springs will provide the community with employment opportunities, and he looks forward to giving back to the area that has been his home off and on for more than 11 years.
