Owner Srikrishna “Sri” Majumder wants his Kansas City Central location to provide excellent home care services to the area’s aging population while offering employment opportunities

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Caring Senior Service, a non-medical, personalized home care services company, announced today that it has expanded its services into Missouri with its first location at 9233 Ward Parkway, Suite 230, in Kansas City.

Caring Senior Service of Kansas City Central owner Srikrishna “Sri” Majumder said he enjoys the opportunity to improve someone’s daily quality of life.

“There is meaning in forming relationships with seniors, hearing their life stories and being a part of their journey,” he said. “I’ve long had a deep desire to help those who may be vulnerable or in need of support.

After a successful career in the information technology industry, Majumder, a long-time Kansas City resident, said he was ready to pursue a more purpose-driven career.

“There is a great demand for senior care as the Baby Boomers get older and decide in larger numbers to age in place,” he said. “In addition to helping with the aging population, I hope my Caring Senior Service location will be able to provide opportunities for meaningful employment with advancement in home and healthcare services.”

Caring Senior Service of Kansas City Central will serve seniors in Bonner Springs, Edwardsville, Fairway, Kansas City, Lake Quivira, Lenexa, Mission, Missing Hills, Mission Woods, Prairie Village, Roeland Park, Shawnee and Westwood, Kansas, and in Blue Summit, Kansas City and Westwood, Missouri.

Owners and brothers Josh and Jason Moll say their new Bentonville venture complements their flooring business, located in the same building

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Designery, an immersive, full-service kitchen, bath and closet design center featuring high-quality cabinets, countertops and flooring, will celebrate the grand opening of its first Arkansas location from 2-5 p.m., Friday, June 27 in the new showroom at 702 SE 5^th Street in Bentonville, Arkansas.

The event will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony, live music, local food and giveaways.

The Designery Northwest Arkansas (NWA) is owned by Josh Moll and his brother, Jason Moll. The siblings also own Executive Flooring Solutions, Inc. (EFS) in Bentonville with their brothers, Jonathan and Jacob Moll. Their Designery location will run as an extension of this veteran- and family-owned business.

“The Designery NWA is complementary of our current business, Executive Flooring Solutions,” said owner Josh Moll, a U.S. Marine Corp. veteran and Arkansas native. “We believe that the two business can work together to provide a complete renovation experience for the people of Northwest Arkansas. We hope to provide homeowners everything from flooring to fixtures.”

After he was honorably discharged from the Marines, Josh Moll became a commercial flooring subcontractor and spent more than 20 years in the industry. Jason Moll had worked for more than 15 years in sales, financial and business management before the four brothers joined forces in 2018 to open EFS.

“We don’t forget where we started, and we strive to ensure that our companies’ successes also includes the individual success of each of our employees,” Josh Moll said. “We are honored to also be a part of The Designery team, and hope our latest venture provides more value to our clients.”

The Designery NWA serves residents in Bella Vista, Bentonville, Cave Springs, Centerton, Farmington, Fayetteville, Larue, Lowell, Mayfield, Osage Mills, Rogers, Sonora, Springdale and Tonitown.

The Designery’s in-house design expertise and extensive selection of products, including more than 100 cabinet styles and over 25 color options for closets, provide advantages to both homeowners and contractors. Its showrooms provide the ideal setting for personal design consultation, material and finish selection, and a virtual reality design view.

SAVOR SUMMER, SKIP THE TOXINS: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN PLUMBING MAKES THE CASE FOR A WHOLE-HOUSE WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM

Paul Zboichyk2025-06-25T07:25:01-04:00June 22nd, 2025|Tags: Authority Brands, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, Home Service|

COLUMBIA, Md. — As both temperatures and household water usage begin to rise this summer, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is reminding homeowners that now is the ideal time to install a whole-house water filtration system. These systems deliver clean, great-tasting water straight from every tap while helping reduce exposure to potentially harmful chemicals. By addressing common issues like hard water before peak demand sets in, families can enjoy healthier water, extend the life of their appliances and kick off their summer fresh and clean.

“Clean water leads to a carefree summer,” said Joseph Wade, vice president of operations at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. “A professionally installed filtration system acts as a barrier to potentially harmful substances while improving taste and protecting appliances from the effects of hard water. It’s an investment in your family’s well-being and peace of mind.”

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average family consumes 300 gallons per day for drinking, cooking, washing clothes, running the dishwasher and taking a shower. Whole-house water filtration systems are designed to treat all the water entering the home. These systems are especially beneficial during summer, when increased water consumption, laundry loads and outdoor activities place a higher demand on plumbing.

With consumer financing options available and 24/7 online scheduling, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing makes it easy to take advantage of all the benefits of a whole-house water filtration system, including:

Better-Tasting, Odor-Free Water: Great for drinking, cooking and bathing.
Reduced Exposure to Potentially Harmful Substances: Common impurities found in tap water include Total Trihalomethanes, lead and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – known as “forever chemicals.” Installing water filtration systems can help effectively reduce these contaminants from your home’s water supply.
Appliance Protection: Extend the life of coffee makers, dishwashers and ice machines by reducing mineral buildup and scale that result from hard water.
Improved Skin and Hair Health: Soften water that can otherwise cause dryness and irritation.

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing provides expert guidance to help customers choose the right filtration system based on their home’s unique water profile, household size and budget. Services include professional water testing, system installation and ongoing maintenance to keep systems running efficiently year-round.

Whether upgrading an existing setup or installing a new one like the Brita PRO^® Water Filtration Systems or Reverse Osmosis systems, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing offers timely, professional solutions to ensure your home’s water quality meets the highest standards. Contact your local Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to inquire about available financing options.

Paul Zboichyk2025-06-22T15:25:58-04:00June 22nd, 2025|Tags: Assisted Stretching, Mobility Services, Stretch Zone|

He’s joined in this venture by business partner Jamal Hamid, a Certified Personal Trainer with nearly three decades of experience in fitness and rehabilitation. Jamal’s deep background in exercise physiology and holistic health brings an added layer of expertise and passion to the Raleigh studio.

Stretch Zone provides a unique approach to improving mobility, offering customized stretching plans designed to meet the specific needs and goals of each of our members. The opening of this Seaboard Station location represents the continued growth of Stretch Zone’s presence, bringing this premium wellness service to an area deeply rooted in lifestyle, culture, and accessibility. “This is a part of downtown Raleigh that’s easy to access and filled with local energy,” Rich explains. “We’re just steps from Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar and William Peace University, in a walkable district full of shops, restaurants, and new residential developments. We’re proud to help bring wellness to the heart of Seaboard Station.”

Stretch Zone is the only nationally accredited stretch franchise, thanks to its patented equipment and proprietary training methodology.

STRETCH ZONE CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING IN ROUND ROCK, TX

Paul Zboichyk2025-06-22T15:22:36-04:00June 22nd, 2025|Tags: Assisted Stretching, Mobility Services, Stretch Zone|

Premier Assisted Stretching Franchise Welcomes Newest Location Under Local Leadership

ROUND ROCK, Texas — Stretch Zone, the nation’s premier assisted-stretching brand featuring a patented strapping system on proprietary tables, is proud to announce the opening of its newest location in Round Rock, TX. This marks Stretch Zone’s 395th location in the United States and is operated by Kevin and Kimberly Wood, multi-unit Stretch Zone franchisees.

Kevin and Kimberly, both coming from successful corporate careers, Kevin in automotive manufacturing and Kimberly in the manufactured home industry—decided to make a bold pivot into wellness entrepreneurship together. “From manufacturing to mobility—it’s been a joyful shift into purpose and people,” Kimberly shares. Their journey with Stretch Zone began in October 2024 with the acquisition of their first studio in Georgetown, TX. Since then, they’ve expanded rapidly, acquiring the existing Stretch Zone Austin studios in Four Points, Lakeway, Westlake, and William Cannon, with exclusive rights secured for four additional studios in the Austin area.

Their connection to Stretch Zone started in a deep personal way. Kimberly was recovering from an injury and facing the possibility of surgery when she discovered the power of practitioner-assisted stretching. Within weeks of consistent sessions, she experienced a significant reduction in swelling and symptoms—delaying the need for surgery and igniting a passion to help others feel the same relief. Kimberly became a stretch evangelist telling everyone she encountered about the benefits of stretching. Kevin was equally inspired by the stories of transformation from Stretch Zone members. “When someone in their 80s touches their toes again, a 75-year-old improves their golf swing, or a young athlete enhances their performance and recovery—it’s not just inspiring, it’s transformational,” Kevin explains. “Stretch Zone helps weekend warriors stay in the game and gives parents and grandparents the mobility to keep up with the kids. This method doesn’t just improve flexibility—it restores freedom.”

Together, the Woods saw an opportunity not just to start a business, but to embrace a rewarding way of life centered on serving others. “Stretching is the ongoing lifestyle of a person of growth,” says leadership expert John C. Maxwell—a quote that has deeply resonated with Kevin and Kimberly as they’ve stepped into this calling. For them, Stretch Zone isn’t just a business, it’s a vehicle for growth, wellness, and purpose in serving others.

With the opening of their newest location in Round Rock, they’re excited to bring Stretch Zone’s life-changing benefits to a thriving, wellness-minded community. “Round Rock has been waiting for something like this,” says Kimberly. “It’s a fresh start for so many people—and for us, another opportunity to serve others.”

Stretch Zone provides a unique approach to improving mobility, offering customized stretching plans designed to meet the specific needs and goals of members. The opening of this Round Rock location represents the continued growth of Stretch Zone, bringing this premium wellness service to a vibrant area with a largely active community.

Stretch Zone is the only nationally accredited stretch franchise, thanks to its patented equipment and proprietary training methodology.

Leading Siding Renovation Company Continues Its U.S. Growth Through Midwest Expansion

CHICAGO — Ideal Siding, North America’s largest siding renovation company, has expanded into Illinois with its first franchise location in the Chicago market. This milestone marks an exciting step in the brand’s U.S. expansion, bringing Ideal Siding’s expert exterior renovation services to Illinois homeowners for the first time.

Leading the new Chicago location is local entrepreneur and franchise consultant, Tim Michaels, who will serve communities across Chicago’s North and Northwest suburbs, from Arlington Heights to Lake Forest. A former Fortune 500 strategy executive and MBA graduate from the University of Michigan with over a decade of experience in franchising, Michaels brings deep industry insight and a strategic mindset to the Ideal Siding system. After years of helping others evaluate and purchase franchises through his company, Kickstart My Franchise, he found himself consistently recommending Ideal Siding to clients and decided it was time to invest in the brand himself.

“I went from presenting Ideal Siding to clients to signing myself,” said Michaels. “It’s one of the most scalable, well-supported home services franchises I’ve seen. Being able to bring this to my hometown and build something long-term for my family is incredibly rewarding.”

Michaels wasted no time getting his business up and running in Chicago. Within days of completing his franchise training, he began meeting with prospective clients, coordinating operations, and launching his first projects. His immediate focus is on building strong relationships with trusted contractors while delivering top-notch results to homeowners.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Tim to the Ideal Siding family and to officially launch in Illinois,” said Alex Filipuk, Founder and CEO of Ideal Siding. “His experience in franchising and strategic approach to business makes him the perfect partner to bring our brand to the Chicago market. Tim understands what makes a franchise thrive, and we’re excited to support his journey as we continue to scale nationwide.”

With Illinois’ booming housing market and increasing demand for high-quality home renovations, the brand sees significant growth opportunities for Ideal Siding in the region. As Michaels settles into his market, he remains committed to setting a high standard of service, building trusted relationships with homeowners, and ultimately expanding his reach in the Chicago community.

Ideal Siding’s proven model eliminates many of the barriers in traditional home improvement businesses, offering franchisees a turnkey system with centralized marketing, lead generation, and operations support all designed to drive performance from day one. At the same time, the brand helps homeowners enhance curb appeal and energy efficiency, transforming neighborhoods with high-quality, modern siding solutions across North America.
