HappyNest<\/a> has expanded its operations into Fresno, Calif.<\/p>\n\u201cCalifornia became a big growth market in the fourth quarter of 2020 and that expansion is continuing into 2021,\u201d said HappyNest founder John MacKrell. \u201cWe are excited to launch within the Fresno market and thrilled to have Bart Duren, his team and his family joining HappyNest. Bart understands the opportunity in the pickup-and-delivery market and is such a determined businessman that we know he will do great things not only in his business, but also for his Fresno community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Duren, who owns Laundry City in Fresno, has been in the laundromat industry for five years and is also a full-time lineman with Pacific Gas & Electric. Managing his time between businesses is important, and he relies on his family for help with the laundromat when he can\u2019t be there. Duren\u2019s four daughters \u2013 Brianae, Brittani, Brandee and Bria \u2013 along with his dad, Terry, and mom, Janet Simon, will be very involved in the HappyNest side of the business.<\/p>\n
\u201cUltimately, I\u2019d like to dedicate all of my efforts to the laundromat and our new brand, HappyNest, but for now I know both are in the sturdy, reliable hands of the greatest women I know,\u201d Duren explained. \u201cI\u2019ve done a little commercial pickup and delivery around Fresno, and I knew there was opportunity on the residential front. However, I wasn\u2019t ready to go it alone. When I found the HappyNest team, learned what they provide and understood their business model, I felt truly blessed. I can\u2019t wait to get started.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
