History:

Our founder, Dave Haglund, began a cabinet distributorship in 1975 and found his niche market while visiting a customer's home in 1986. Noticing that the 6-year-old kitchen was starting to look a little run-down, but wasn't ready to be remodeled, he offered to touch up some of the worn areas. When the customer was thrilled with the results, Haglund realized the market potential of this concept. After years of testing and perfecting his process of restoring interior wood surfaces, Haglund sold his first franchise in 1988. Over the years, and with the help of many talented franchise owners, the Kitchen Tune-Up system expanded to include cabinet refacing, redooring, custom cabinets, storage solutions and more. There are now Kitchen Tune-Up franchises throughout North America. Both home-based and retail franchises are available.

Several members of the Haglund family have been involved in the family business including Dave’s oldest daughter, Heidi Morrissey. Heidi has served as vice president of sales & marketing since 2003. She was announced as the new president of the Kitchen Tune-Up franchise system in January 2017. Heidi oversees franchise training and serves as an effective sales and business coach for our franchise partners.

A Day in the Life of our Franchisees

What will your day be like?

Tara Hansen loved working for Kitchen Tune-Up so much that she bought the franchise from the previous owner!

Her journey all started with an agreement to run the Kitchen Tune-Up booth at a state fair. She was promised a small bonus for each appointment she booked and at the end of the fair, she had secured over 40 appointments! Tara accompanied the owner on all the sales calls to help with all the extra work and fell in love with the process of helping someone go from “this is what I want” to achieving the end results.

She eventually quit her job working the graveyard shift 7 nights a week delivering newspapers to work full-time for Kitchen Tune-Up as a Sales and Business Manager. After learning the process and seeing how the business was run, she agreed to buy the franchise in January 2019.

Tara can now wake-up and go to bed with the rest of her family and has the time and energy to enjoy life with her husband and 7 kids. Life is busy and her husband, Ben, helps with keeping the kids organized and steps in to help with jobs as needed. Her oldest daughter has also joined the business and the previous owner’s son has stayed on, even with the change in ownership. Tara currently manages 3 different crews and has a goal of overseeing 15 crews throughout her territory.
