by anthony saluto
A 20,000 square foot, 2.4 million dollar, PAUL MITCHELL , and it is incredible. The town of normal scored big with paul mitchell the campus partner school. When I walked in the door I thought I was in Miami.
The facility will be handling 250 future professional cosmologist and or estheticians, the cosmologists will complete a 1500 hour program in 52 weeks, and the estheticians, a 750 hour 22 week program.
A good haircut will be $8, and a facial will set you back, $15. By the first week of October hair service will begin and skin service shortly afterwards. Owner John Kanski, says “ this space was vacant for 2 years before we decide to sign a 10 year lease” .
"With 72 chairs, the public will be coming in by thousands, area salons will benefit by the talent pool that graduates our program” john said. "The presentation is no different than if you were in Sherman Oaks Ca. John says, "the architects are out of Laguna Beach Ca." , as we are turning the corner on o
ne of many corridors.
Its not hard to see how the investment was 2.4 million dollars, the floors are the original concrete that was used by the Jewell store for years, but buffed up and what looks to be some 4x4 timbers inset in various areas.
The photos are worth a thousand words, with 91 franchises in the system the design and equipment are all first class custom work.
Paul mitchelle was well known for innovating the elimination of evening curlers and making blow drying the new standard.
The brand of paul mitchell products, is in 100,000 stores in 47 countries. “The power of the brand offers our future professionals (graduates) strong reconition, when shopping their resume, it gives them instant recognition of a premiere program anywhere they may go to practice the trade” john explains. “Our future professionals will have business skills as well as an expanded ability to rebook clients” says john.

Paul mithcell acquired 100 acres in Hawaii long ago, embracing the awapui plant, which is an ingredient in many of the companies products.
John will be directing operations here. When I asked about the district management system, john says, “ we operate on the basis of franchise owners visiting franchise owners, to preview operations a to z and discuss areas that may be need tweaking for the system overall” . john compares the system to that of what school systems do amongst themselves. John says, “ the whole franchise system is managed by what we call the pal system” . the web site and johns email are, www.pmthecampus.com , and, johnk@pmthecampus.com .

fred wollrab recovered drug store documents in rehab
ed burleson works on the brick wall at 320 n. main st. downtown bloomington il.
this tin ceiling will be restored during a 6 week project.
by anthony saluto
Fred wollrab, wollrab properties, is well underway in rehabbing the original brick walls and tin ceiling on the corners of main and monroe streets downtown bloomington il.. the one thing we all seem to zero in on are the bricks themselves. It seems amongst all of wollrabs properties most bricks will have individual characteristics.
After the existing walls and ceilings have been removed, 320 n. main st. downtown bloomington is ready for some fine tuning. Ed Burleson is at work on the brick walls. The bricks were scrubbed first. Then ed seals the bricks with crete waterproofing. The next step ed says, is a coat of polyurethane. Along the process at the end will be some tuck pointing. The tin ceiling will be repaired and finished as well, completely.
Speaking with fred wollrab, fred tells me, “ the great fires of 1900 took the previous building”. The building being worked on was constructed as a Pillsbury design, a prominent architect of the period. Adali Stevenson I, a former u.s. vice president owned the building and business in 1901 operating mclean county coal co’s. general offices. We presume this was a prime energy resource of the period.
Fred tells me “it was a drug store at one point”, and that he has recovered a wide variety of drug store ads and other documents.
Upstairs of 320 n main was once occupied by an eye doctors office. Currently it is occupied as a large townhouse residence.
The work will continue for about six weeks. Multiple tenant discussions have been in progress along the way.
