Isn’t it amazing how life comes full circle?  It was 8 years ago this April that my middle daughter was turning 4. I was a busy mom of 2 girls and 7 ½ months pregnant to boot with my son. We needed a fun party place for my daughter to invite her daycare friends to burn off all their silly and cute energy. Our small home was NOT an option. We learned of a place called Little Monkey Bizness, an indoor play experience for kids where they can jump, swing, climb and just be a kid! We quickly booked her party there and it was a HUGE success! My now almost 12-year-old daughter still talks about her birthday and play dates at Monkey Bizness and secretly wishes she was still that 4-year-old little girl, so she could go back.

Fast forward to 2018. I am very excited to announce that I have joined the Monkey Bizness franchise group based in Colorado as the Director of Operations. I am going bananas that I get to be part of an amazing concept with the leadership of Matt Krieger, President, and long-term employee Ashley Myers who has been promoted to Director of Marketing and to follow our company’s vision to Help Create Happy and Healthy Families within our Communities!

My new role will include current franchisee support, new store opening support, new and existing franchisee training, marketing and franchise sales assistance.  My franchise experience began in 2005 when I joined a new concept called Camp Bow Wow®, a dog daycare and overnight boarding facility. During my 9 ½ years with Camp Bow Wow®, I was a part of a team that grew a successful brand from single digit locations to over 100 locations nationwide. My positions included Director level for site search, marketing, communications, franchise relations, and sales.  The last 3 years I was fortunate to work on the franchisee side of a brand we all know and love, Panera Bread® During my time with Panera, I worked with our Colorado locations on in-store and community-based marketing and events, grand opening support and catering sales. I am excited to once again be a part of a brand and concept that I am passionate about and share the 13 years of my franchise experience to the Monkey Bizness franchise family.
