Foster Family Companies: A Unified Vision for Growth
Looking to streamline and unify his growing collection of businesses, Mitch is working to rebrand his companies under the umbrella of Foster Family Companies, in conjunction with his father and CF Service and Supply. While each business retains its unique identity, the overarching goal is to provide a wide range of facility maintenance services, creating a one-stop-shop for business and property owners.
The philosophy of Foster Family Companies is efficiency and community connection. Mitch’s ability to learn quickly and take on new challenges as they arise has been key to his success. Whether it’s expanding his service offerings, managing employees, or navigating the complexities of business ownership, Mitch approaches each hurdle with a mindset of growth and determination.
Education and Inspiration: Shaping the Business Journey
Mitch’s educational background, which includes an Associate Degree in Business Administration and Management from Seward County Community College (2012), has been instrumental in shaping his entrepreneurial journey. Although he attended the University of Kansas for a time, Mitch ultimately left his studies to focus on his growing business ventures. His early experience working alongside his father in the family business helped instill a strong work ethic and a passion for entrepreneurship.
In college, Mitch made the honor roll and was even offered a position as a summer teaching assistant, an accomplishment that boosted his academic confidence and solidified his commitment to personal growth and learning.
A Commitment to Local Growth and Community Engagement
One of Mitch’s primary goals for Foster Family Companies is to support local growth. He partners with local organizations, such as Mosaic, and hires local employees whenever possible, creating jobs and fostering a sense of community. Unlike larger corporations that rely on call centers and impersonal service, Mitch’s businesses pride themselves on offering personalized, local service.
He is also dedicated to giving back to the community, working to expand his services while contributing to local causes. As a Chamber Member, Mitch is excited about planning a future ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Foster Family Companies and has recently begun accepting Chamber Checks at all three of his current businesses.
Looking Ahead: Growth and Giving Back
As Mitch looks ahead, his goal is simple: to keep growing. Whether through adding new clients, expanding service offerings, or continuing to improve customer satisfaction, Mitch is determined to make a positive impact on the businesses and individuals he serves.
This holiday season, Mitch hopes to continue to give back to the community. His dedication to fostering a mutually beneficial relationship with the community is a key part of his business philosophy, and he hopes to inspire others to invest in local growth.
