Athens Health Club
Barry Frankel, president and CEO of Athens Health Club, considers location to be a major factor in the success of his business. Since starting Athens Health Club in March 2004, Frankel has witnessed his fitness center’s group of loyal clients multiply. Near the end of 2014, a convenient location opportunity appeared. “We were coming towards the end of our lease, and there were some negatives to our current property, so I was in the market to move the business,” Frankel said. “It just so happened that St. John Properties was developing a business park named Liberty Exchange just across the street.”
Exchange space, and Frankel is pleased with his experiences so far. “It has been a pleasure dealing with a professional operation like St. John Properties,” he said. “Everything is taken care of in a timely manner. If I ever encounter a problems, I know the crew at St. John Properties will do everything they can to remedy the situ- ation as quick as possible. It has been nice to deal with professionals.”
To Frankel, Liberty Exchange seemed like the most logical place to relocate Athens Health Club. “Staying in the same gen- eral vicinity as our original location was important because we did not want to lose existing clients,” Frankel explained. “In this type of business, moving even a short distance can be the difference between whether someone goes to our gym or another gym. In the end, it all comes down to proximity and convenience for people, and we had a solid group of loyal clients that I didn’t want to lose.”
St. John Properties and Frankel worked out a deal, and Athens Health Club officially moved into Liberty Exchange in Eldersburg, Maryland, on September 15, 2015. Athens Health Club was able to make a smooth transition from its old location to its new space without causing any headaches for clients. “St. John found a way to work along with the county and arrange the schedule to be able to hit our target date, which was ... very important because we had nowhere to go, and we had to be up and running in the new space,” Frankel said. The move of Athens Health Club allowed Frankel to design the space exactly how he wanted it. “The architect at St. John Prop- erties did a great job. We were constantly going over ideas and making changes on the fly. It made the process real easy and enjoyable,” Frankel said. “Our space now consists of a large group fitness room for the classes we provide, a room specifically for spin classes, a large gym floor that has all the standard exercise equipment, and of course the lobby and the locker rooms.” Athens Health Club is coming upon their one-year anniversary in their new Liberty

Cafeciteaux
Chris Peneguy began roasting coffee in his garage in his spare time several years ago. Using a Whirly Pop popcorn maker, he and his neighbor experimented with coffee roasts for themselves and friends. But once a friend bought 40 pounds of coffee — requiring 48 consecutive hours of work for hand- turned coffee beans — Peneguy and his friend and business partner, Stevie Guillory, decided to make the leap and take their business commercial.
Cafeciteaux is now a roaster and commer- cial supplier of high-quality coffee out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Cafeciteaux sells their coffees as well as wholesale equip- ment such as coffee makers, espresso machines, grinders and other items to their café clients. They also assist in the initial set-up of the bar for new café customers. The majority of their restaurant and café customers are in the New Orleans and Lafayette areas, but their products are also available online.
When it comes to their coffee, Cafeciteaux takes their clients and their sourcing very seriously. “We do primarily single origin coffees, which means one coffee from one farm. It’s usually traceable back to that farm,” Peneguy explained. “And we’ll name a lot of our coffees after the person or the family that actually picked it and processed it.” One of Cafeciteaux’s specialty coffees, Don Pepe, comes from none other than a farmer named Don Pepe in Costa Rica. “We’ll work with farms to give them a fair price, and usually that’s above whatever the market price is for coffee,” Peneguy said. “And that in turn gives them the ability to actually take the money, upgrade their machinery.” A lot of farmers cannot afford an organic certificate, he explained. “That’s why we pay that higher price, so eventually they can get to the point where they can get that certification.” All of Cafeciteaux’s coffees are specialty, rat- ing in the top one percent of coffee that’s produced in the world. “We focus on qual- ity coffees, and that’s what we do,” Peneguy said. Cafeciteaux also offers specialty blends of coffees. These blends can be a special offer from Cafeciteaux or a special recipe for a café or restaurant’s specialty house blend.
All of Cafeciteaux’s coffees are specialty,
rating in the top one percent of coffee that’s produced in the world.
Peneguy and Guillory, both owners of Cafe- citeaux, went from a small garage space to an entire flex-space warehouse when they began their lease with St. John Properties in 2014. “Our first commercial wholesale was on July 4, 2014, to Alexander’s High- land Road Market,” Peneguy said. “St. John has definitely given us the space that we needed when we needed it ... It’s also been a big help to have the other tenants around,” Peneguy said. Cafeciteaux’s space is the one-stop site for their office, roasting and storage facilities. Peneguy looks positively toward the company’s growth in the future. “All in all, what we’re really about is just offer- ing really good, sustainable coffee … and helping out the farmers to be able to produce that and grow and help their local economies grow.”

C&C Dance Company
Doing what you love is a dream few people are able to truly achieve. But after 44 years of teaching dance with the assistance of family and friends, Cheryl Brennan, the owner and one of the “C”s in C&C Dance Company, has been able to do just that.
As a child, Brennan’s mother made sure she would have every opportunity to dance, and as a result, Brennan would later travel to New York and become a Rockette, performing all over the country with bands like The Four Seasons and the Osmond Broth- ers. After several years, she returned home to Maryland, started a family and started teaching dance. “When I started, it was Cheryl’s Dance Company, and we had 50 children. Today, we’re at 1,200 kids,” she said. C&C’s space contains nine dance studios, a massage room, a study hall, two snack shops, storage space, and a media room for the children to watch movies before and after class. The classes range from acrobatics to tap and from ballet to hip hop. The studio offers classes for children as young as 2 years old, and the older children have the opportunity to audition for competitive dance, participating in competitions around the country and bettering their opportunities for scholarships and careers. “I’ve had nine students who have received scholarships and are now performers. It’s one in a million who make it professionally, but it’s really nice to have that feedback,” Brennan said.
With growth as a pattern for C&C, it made sense for Brennan to come to St. John Properties. “We always want to keep growing,” she said. “We’re on the end of the complex here, so when we took over, there was no where else to go. St. John was able to negotiate the space so we could continue to grow.” In addition to growth, the studios are located next to a gym, which allows parents to drop off children for dance and then have their own workout. When Brennan realized her space needed to grow, she knew it would have to happen in the off-season, which would be a challenge for St. John. “They started knocking down walls and closets immediately in our downtime, so construction wouldn’t interfere with classes.” Brennan added that St. John understands the necessity of keep- ing a safe property for the children. “They’re awesome,” she said. “They’re so prompt about what I need, especially for the safety of the children. That’s important with having so many kids in and out every day.” The C&C Dance family has grown over the years, extending beyond Brennan’s children to the children she teaches, and with the help of St. John, she expects that to continue in the future. “I love what I do, and it’s great to see the kids loving it too. I’m really proud of our staff and family, and I love the St. John family too.”

Potomac Swim School
Donna Boone was just 15 years old when she started teaching swim lessons. Years later, she is still in the water and has been able to transform a passion into a career and a successful business. Boone is founder and CEO of the Potomac Swim School.
“The St. John property was the first I looked at and the last I looked at ... It has a lot of windows, and light and sun — all of it — makes people very happy.” Boone was able to work with St. John on the build-out. “We were fortunate that St. John was open to having a pool in their building, which at the time as a concept was unheard of,” Boone said. In 2004, when the building was complete and the school opened, Boone had 520 students. In just five months, 800 were enrolled, and after just one and a half years, the student body number was at 1,000. The school is exceeding expectations, Boone says, and looks bright for more years of growth.
The Potomac Swim School in Ashburn, Virginia, serves the Washington, D.C., Metro area and has been a tenant of St. John Properties for 12 years. The school offers a unique experience for children and families through a safe, warm and inviting environment and works closely with the community and the parents of the students it teaches. “We enjoy working with our parents because our parents are very, very child centered, and they want what is best for their children, and that’s why they choose Potomac Swim School,” Boone said. “We also offer birthday parties!” Boone said. “When people have birthday parties at Potomac Swim School, they have one hour in the pool and one hour in the party room, and they can decorate it any way they choose.” Two-hour party reservations can be made on-site or by phone. The Potomac Swim School takes great pride in its unique curricu- lum, which was developed specifically for the Potomac program, including elements of child psychology and child development. “You don’t work with a six-year-old the same way that you work with a three-year-old,” Boone said. “We work with children and adapt to children based on their ages and where they are in their development.” This aspect of including child psychology in the cur- riculum is especially important when the coaches and teachers are helping young students conquer their fears and reach new abili- ties. “We always take the degree of fear into account. In the psych aspect, you don’t have fear in many sports, but you do in swim- ming because of water,” Boone explained. “You can challenge a child, but you have to be very patient with them if they’re fearful.” The location of Potomac Swim School has many nearby fami- lies with children in a very family-centered community, Boone explained. “That’s one of the reasons I ended up choosing Ash- burn,” she said.

Pump It Up
Pump It Up was founded in early 2000, created by the simple vision of moving inflatables out of the backyard and into a controlled indoor recreation center, allowing children to experience inflat- able fun year round. While founded on birthday parties, Pump It Up is open for the business of play. Public events like Open Jump, holiday and seasonal parties, field trips, and fundraising events have made Pump It Up one of the premier spots for children’s recreation.
Pump It Up now has more than 140 loca- tions across the country. Denise Smith, owner of the Pump It Up location in Elkridge, Maryland, with her husband, Tilmon Smith, saw potential in this concept when she decided to buy into the franchise a little more than 10 years ago. In 2005, Smith’s Pump It Up franchise opened in St. John Properties’ Troy Hill Corporate Center. Within a year, the business had already outgrown the space, and Smith knew she needed to expand to keep momentum going. “St. John Properties has been a part of our business since we opened in 2005 and expanded in 2006. They have been instrumental in our continued success,” she said. Pump It Up’s needs were unique from a standard business, requiring a space large enough to house numerous inflatables while also encouraging a fun and inviting atmo- sphere for children. “Our current space is 12,000 square feet — double what we origi- nally started with. The majority of our space is carpeted warehouse with ceiling heights of 18 feet. The warehouse is divided into two separate arenas that house the inflatables. Our space also features two party rooms for guests to get comfortable and partake in the usual birthday fun, such as birthday cake, pizza, etc,” Smith stated. “We normally keep parties to a 50 person maximum, but
with most repairs in our building. We’ve also been very lucky to have our property manager, Keenan Wilkinson, who has been phenomenal with us,” Smith said. Pump It Up recently renewed their lease with St. John Properties, a move Smith said is due to the fantastic service and support Pump It Up receives from St. John Proper- ties. “I know a lot of other franchise owners who would love to have a landlord as help- ful as St. John has been to us,” she said. “I feel that St. John Properties want to see us succeed, and that has meant the world to me.”
the number can go up depending on the circumstances. We do host larger events from time to time, including our annual New Year’s Eve party.” “Since I started in 2004, I’ve had the plea- sure of working with so many different people in all different departments at St. John Properties, and they have all been wonderful. The maintenance department has been instrumental in helping us keep our store looking its best. Our maintenance technician, Kenny Desautles, has been working in our space since we first opened. He goes above and beyond to help us

In the past 20 years, the number of microbreweries across the United States has climbed to more than 3,000 unique locations, creating countless varieties of beers for consumers to enjoy. Likewise, distilleries and wineries are becoming abundant across the nation, offering tastings and one-of- a-kind spirits, ranging in variety from region to region. Despite the diverse options available, until recently there was a major gap where one option should have been: agave.

We’re reinvesting to produce for a bigger mar- ket. By the end of 2016, we plan to have expanded outside Colorado.” Smiley, who hand-built his distilling equipment, is ready to keep growing with St. John Properties. “Our current space is maxed, so we have had to start stacking within our space.

Commonly referred to as tequila, a Mexican trademarked product, agave and agave- based products are on the rise with the help and expertise of Sean Smiley, owner of State 38 Distilling in Golden, Colorado. “There are a lot of distilleries that focus on whiskey, vodka or rum but hardly any that focus on agave,” he pointed out. “I believe tequila and agave- based products are on the horizon, and we’re due for a boom.” His agave products include blanco, reposado, añejo, vodka and gin. “Most gins are made from a grain-based alcohol, and we have the only agave-based.” This particular spirit is also the most award- winning product for the distillery.

I don’t have any reason to want to look elsewhere.” Smiley stays grounded about the success of his business and the future: “It’s a small family business, and we took a huge leap of faith to start something from scratch. That stepping off point is as exciting as it is scary.”With the high demand for his products and the rate of growth State 38 has already experienced, the future should continue to be exciting for the distillery.
