Personal Attention Is A Top Priority
At Evolve Personal Fitness
Evolve Personal Fitness, 3808 S. Lindbergh
Blvd., Suite 103, is a personal training studio
offering nutrition, fit camps and sport-specific
training. Doug Schlenk, a personal trainer and
nutrition consultant, along with Stacy Schlenk
are co-owners of Evolve Personal Fitness.
“I felt there was a need to offer a special-
ized facility that catered to the client and not
the masses,” Doug Schlenk said. “There was
a need to offer an enthusiastic and pressure-
free environment for people of all fitness
backgrounds.”
Schlenk developed this facility to acknowl-
edge the client and give importance of the
exercises that work for the individual and each
individual’s goal. “We pride ourselves on the
accountability our trainers offer our clients.
We track every workout our clients go through.
We can then tell them specifically where they
are improving in their fitness levels,” Schlenk
said.
Clients appreciate the
personal attention received at
Evolve. The staff knows their
clients, and in some cases
even their families.

al trainers, Tom Wynne and

techniques to continue with the notion of per-
sonalized fitness.
Doug Schlenk has served as a strength and
conditioning coach for three local high schools
and assisted Bishop DuBourg High School in
obtaining the State Championship Title for
Men’s Baseball in 2010.
Tom Wynne has been in the fitness indus-
try for 20 years. Wynne specializes in reha-
bilitation from injuries and strengthening an
individual’s technique to continue improving
his clients’ fitness levels.
In May of this year Evolve added Andrew
Meyer to the distinct mix. Meyer has brought
his experience in personal training and kick-
boxing to give an exciting blend to his clients’
workouts. The business is always adapting to
keep up with current fitness trends and to
intensify the individual’s drive to continue.
By having a small, but diverse personal
training staff, “this shows
our true testament to our cli-
ents to be available to cater
to their needs. We recognized
the need for more personal-
ized attention and we were
there to give it to them,”
Schlenk said.

Dependability & Attention To Detail
Set Streib Electric Apart
It is a team effort at Streib Electric,
where everyone from office staff to the
guy in the bucket truck works hard to earn
the right to be their customers’ “go to”
company for electrical needs.
“This business has been a dream of
mine since I got into the industry 15 years
ago. I went out on my own in 2004 with
just myself and one truck and, since that
time, have been able to expand to hire a
group of talented people who are passion-
ate about what they do,” said company
president Tom Streib.
Streib believes that completing projects
cleanly and with attention to detail is the
key to a job well done. He said that the
parts of the project that a client doesn’t see
are just as important as what they do see.
“Our customers appreciate our
knowledge and our attitude. We always
stay positive while performing our
work,” said Streib.

“Over the years my company has
expanded, enabling us to perform many
aspects of landscaping services,” said
Scott. “This is due to experience, special

tious staff. We consider all projects equal-
ly important and the customer’s satisfac-

efficiency, quality and neatness of the
staff employed by Eirich Landscaping.
We have always tried to staff our company

“We are also there when our custom-

fied technicians will come to your home,
walk through, and point out any code
violations or safety hazards. We can
assess the situation and help you priori-

Streib Electric stresses quality and

Explore The Possibilities At Kirkwood’s
Show Me Blinds & Shutters
Finding the perfect window treatment for
your home is easy when you visit Show Me
Blinds & Shutters in Kirkwood, a one-stop
shop for blinds, shades, shutters, drapes and
custom items. Professional design consultant
Delayna Adams can help select from the

“We offer the best national brands but
provide a local touch because we are inde-
pendently owned and operated,” Starr said.
The store opened in 1996 and Starr took
ownership in 2006. He says the best parts of
his work are seeing a homeowner’s excite-

That attentive contact has been an impor-
tant part of growing the business, and Starr
is proud of the feedback from their custom-
ers. They have a perfect score on Angie’s
List and received the highest rating from the
Better Business Bureau.
“2010 has been a great year for us and
we are excited about using new technology

Best Home Furnishings Fills Void
With First Factory Direct Store
Best Home Furnishings chose St. Louis
to open its first factory direct furniture store
in 2007.
“When family-owned furniture stores,
like Rest Assured Furniture, Debasio,
Phillips, went out of business, we felt it
necessary to fill the void with our first fac-
tory direct store,” said owner Carl Boyer.
“We believe people are still interested in
high-quality furniture at a low price.”
Best Home Furnishings is the largest
chair manufacturer in the world, producing
7,000 chairs every day. The furniture is
manufactured 200 miles from St. Louis in
Ferdinand, Ind.
“Where else can one see over 200 chairs
in one place, with over 700 fabric and
leather options – all
available usually within
three weeks?” Boyer said

than chairs. Best Home

Focus Is On Family & Technology
At Watson Pointe Dental
Family has been an important part of
Watson Pointe Dental for three generations.
The practice began in 1911 by Dr.
Vincent Grimaud, who was joined by his
son Dr. James Grimaud in 1938. The third
and current owner, Dr. Joseph Grimaud,
began practicing 1985.
Six relatives (plus three honorary family
members) are currently employed at the
office. The dental assistants at Watson Pointe
enjoy a job sharing program that allows
them to spend more time with their own
families.
This focus on life balance isn’t the only
modern improvement at Watson Pointe
Dental. Dr. Grimaud likes to make sure he
stays on the cutting edge of technology.
“We are excited to now offer the Spectra
Cavity Detection System in our office. It
uses fluorescence technology to help us find
cavities early, especially in the deep grooves
of the teeth. This
allows for a more
conservative treat-
ment of tooth decay,”
said Dr. Joe.
8537 Watson Road • Webster Groves • 963-2000
Furnishings features stationary sofas, sec-
tionals, reclining sofas, glider rockers, accent
chairs, sleepers, desk chairs and accesso-
ries,” Boyer said. He said his store stocks
over 586 pieces for immediate pickup.
Most of the staff were previously
employed by Boyer with past experience
averaging 12 years. Staff includes Manager
Danielle Boyer, Mary DeMello. Chris
Bohn, and Rebecca Steinberg (maternity
leave).
To determine quality of furniture, Boyer
said to lift the cushions. If they’re heavy, the
foam density is good.
“Make sure the cushions are Dacron
wrapped. But most importantly, turn it over.
If there’s particle board on the frame, run!
Run to Best Home
Furnishings where solid
wood is the norm,” Boyer
said.
“Our repeat business
says it all,” he added.
The office also offers single-visit, all-
porcelain restorations and crowns and an
intraoral camera that helps show patients
what is going on in their mouths.
Before and after photos on Watson Pointe
Dental’s website show the amazing results
that the team can achieve in a short amount
of time. The site also provides complimen-
tary tips and helpful information on personal
dental health. Check out the site at:
www.mywatsonpointedental.com.
Even though technology is an important
feature of the office, the atmosphere remains
decidedly family-focused. Dr. Grimaud’s
mother, 91-year-old Joan, often joins the
team for their daily lunch. Brother, sisters,
and nieces all work together to maintain the
success the family has upheld over the years.
“I enjoy helping our patients understand
the connection between oral health
and general health.
I also enjoy the
attention to detail
and precision that
dentistry requires,”
said Dr. Grimaud.

Seniors Home Care: Specializing In
Senior Adult In-Home Care Since 1987
“I started Seniors Home Care to provide a
support system for older adults,” said Kit
Whittington, R.N., founder of Seniors Home
Care. “SHC allows individuals who want the
benefits of assisted living, but do not want to
move out of their home, stay in the comfort of
their own homes and maintain their
independence.
The range of services is reassuring to client
families who find it difficult to raise their own
families while trying to be supportive caregivers
to their elderly parents. Those services have
been designed around the true needs of the
older population, with companionship,
medication reminders, transportation, shopping,
light housekeeping, cooking, and personal care
among the many services offered.
How are a client’s needs determined? One of
SHC’s registered nurses meets with each client

The Cleaning Authority:
A Better Approach to Housecleaning
The Cleaning Authority is a professional
housecleaning franchise, open locally since
2004, located in South County. While they
perform plenty of one-time cleans, 99
percent of their business comes from 600+
regular clients. They offer weekly,
bi-weekly, tri-weekly and monthly service.
The owner, Mike Weintz, cited four
factors that make The Cleaning Authority
so appealing to new and current clients: a)
quality, b) reliability, c) value, and d) an
environmentally responsible approach to
housecleaning.
The Cleaning Authority’s Detail-Clean
Rotation System goes well beyond the
normal level of detail performed by the
average housecleaner. By paying top of the
market wages and providing medical and
dental benefits, employee
turnover is kept low and
service quality is kept high.
In 2009, the office was 1 of
3 nominated for Franchise
of the Year!

Those needs are met by carefully screened,
bonded, and insured Seniors Home Care
employees, not contract hires. Each caregiver
undergoes drug testing, a thorough background
search and completes a training program
designed by Whittington and administered by
professional instructors. It includes some basic
nursing skills and physical therapy
applications.
SHC offers its clients flexibility, with care
ranging from a 30 minute QuickVisit™ to 24
hour care seven days a week. A number of
services are also offered to those in a nursing
home, recovering from an illness, or who are
hospitalized. SHC is a member of the Better
Business Bureau with an A+ rating, and a
winner of the Better Business Bureau Torch
Award in 2009.

to always be at your home on the right day,
with the right supplies and the right work
ethic. Employees are all bonded, insured
and rigorously trained.
The housecleaning business is very
competitive. Free estimates are offered via
phone or e-mail. After an estimate has been
given, the owner, Mike, personally visits
every prospective client’s home. This is
done so that the best possible price is
always given.
In 2008, The Cleaning Authority made a
commitment to environmentally responsible
housecleaning by converting to the use of
Green Seal Certified products, HEPA
vacuums, and microfiber dusting cloths.
Although some are skeptical of the cleaning
power of “green” products,
the owner said “don’t worry,
the products work great.”

Ottiger Tree Service Committed To Keeping
Community Trees Healthy & Beautiful
The Webster Groves and Kirkwood
areas are known for their lovely, tree-lined
streets. It is part of what gives these and
the surrounding communities their special
character.
Ottiger Tree Service is committed to
helping home and business owners main-
tain the health and beauty of their trees
through careful maintenance. They are one
of only five companies in Missouri to
receive national accreditation from the
Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA).
They have adopted TCIA’s model safety
program and enhance their employee train-
ing through the association’s continuing
education program.
“Our mission is to maintain tree health,
ensure customer safety and satisfaction,
and raise the standards of the arboriculture
industry,” said OJ Ottiger, owner of the
company.
OJ had been working with trees since
the early 1970s but didn’t officially start
his business until 1998, when his accoun-

He and son, Nick, are now certified

Mindy serves as office manager, and
grandsons Sam and Will are “saplings in
training.”
“OJ’s hard work, dedication to quality,
and willingness to share knowledge have
earned him the respect of his peers and
industry professionals. We call him The
Tree Whisperer!” said Mindy.
The Ottigers take a naturalistic approach
to their work, pruning with the tree’s natural
shape in mind so the beauty of each species
can shine on its own. If a tree must be
removed, the staff can safely take it down.
“We strive to leave every job site better

Lindwedel’s Sparkling Reputation Builds

Great Relationships With Jewelry Buyers
You can tell a lot about a person by their
favorite piece of jewelry.
Some people love a modern item that shows a
daring sense of fashion. Others are attached to an
heirloom piece that reminds them of a cherished
relative. Or maybe their heart skips a beat each
time they look at the one-of-a-kind piece their
spouse presented to them on a special occasion.
Regardless of personal tastes, Lindwedel
Jewelers in Webster Groves has the selection and
quality to match buyers with the perfect piece.
“Our customers become our friends. We’ve
created a comfortable atmosphere in our store
that allows them to relax and enjoy the experi-
ence of purchasing jewelry,” said Phil
Lindwedel.
Phil and his wife, Antoinette, opened the
store in 2008 after he spent several years crafting
award-winning pieces as a bench jeweler. That
expertise combines with the staff’s attentive ser-
vice to form relationships that turn first-time
buyers into repeat customers.
Lindwedel’s cases sparkle with top-quality
stones, gleaming gold and silver, and high-fash-
ion items. But if a customer is looking for some-
thing truly unique, the Lindwedel team is always
excited to design something just for them.
“Jewelry buyers today are very savvy and
know exactly what they want. We are committed
to helping them select something that will last a
lifetime,” said Phil.
The Lindwedel’s service extends beyond their
own inventory to repairing, polishing, reworking,
or appraising pieces that a customer may already
have. They also offer top dollar for gold jewelry
that a customer has decided to part with.
“Many of our customers are surprised by the
value of the items they have sitting in their jew-
elry boxes at home. We are professional jewelers
