Country Place Senior Living will announce plans Friday for franchising its smaller homes concept to facilitate growth.
Former Wichitan Jack West, who developed and sold the retirement community Georgetown Village in the 1980s, is looking to further expand his Texas-based, Kansas-honed business, Country Place Senior Living.
West, chief executive of Neighborhood Senior Living Inc. in Dallas, operates assisted living facilities in six Kansas cities with three more to open soon.
Country Place Living president and chief operating officer Cynthia Gartman said demand for the company’s smaller, home-like assisted-living sites is so great, the company is looking to expand through franchising, an announcement the company is taking public Friday in Overland Park.
“We simply can’t keep up with demand on corporate dollars,” Gartman said. “We really need franchise partners that will come along beside us who are caring and have the ability to do well in a community while doing well for themselves in a business sense.
