Liberty Restoration Group Expands Its Midwestern Footprint

Introduction
In a strategic move to enhance its footprint in the Midwest, Liberty Restoration Group has successfully acquired two ServiceMaster franchises, namely ServiceMaster Restoration Services by KRS and ServiceMaster of Columbia. This expansion is set to greatly enrich the company's service offerings and regional reach, underscoring its commitment to providing exceptional disaster restoration and reconstruction services across multiple markets.

New Territories and Capabilities
The acquisition of ServiceMaster Restoration Services by KRS results in three additional locations being added to Liberty's network: Peoria, Illinois; Bloomington, Illinois; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This marks Liberty's second acquisition in 2026, following its April purchase of ServiceMaster of Columbia located in Columbia, Missouri. As a result, Liberty’s service capability now spans eight markets in key states including Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Kentucky.

Local Response
Liberty's expanded network enhances its ability to deliver swift local responses, effectively maintaining a seamless level of service across different locations. This not only provides customers with reliable support but also ensures a consistent quality of service regardless of the location. Josh Kijanko, the CEO of Liberty Restoration Group, emphasized the importance of local ownership and leadership, stating that the existing business leaders from the acquired franchises are continuing with Liberty, ensuring their teams remain intact and are supported by Liberty's broader resources.

Shared Values and Leadership
Nicholas Kellerstrass, the owner of ServiceMaster Restoration Services by KRS, conveyed his excitement about the partnership, attributing their success to responsiveness and team integrity. Kellerstrass also highlighted that joining forces with Liberty affords the Peoria, Bloomington, and Milwaukee teams unprecedented access to extensive resources, which have the potential to greatly benefit their operations. Similarly, Adam Kinser, the owner of ServiceMaster of Columbia, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, citing common values and leadership philosophies that will help both teams thrive together.

Commitment to Growth
Liberty Restoration Group, established in 2025 through MBN Brands, aims to further its reach within the Midwest market by continuing to seek out future acquisitions. The firm is supported by seasoned partners including Petra Capital Partners and SharpVue Capital, which provide crucial backing and resources to fuel its strategic growth ambitions.
