History
Founders, Dave and Cindy Haglund opened a cabinet store in 1975, but by the late 1980s, the sluggish economy was hurting business. After noticing how well his car ran after a tune-up, Dave had a brainstorm: What if you could tune-up a kitchen so it was like new again? In 1988, Kitchen Tune-Up was born. In 2003, Dave & Cindy’s eldest daughter, Heidi Morrissey, joined Kitchen Tune-Up, eventually becoming President.
Today, Kitchen Tune-Up has a network of nearly 300 franchises across the United States and Canada. In 2021, Kitchen Tune-Up became part of the Home Franchise Concepts® family of brands.
