Focal Pointe announced its acquisition of Messenger’s Lawn & Landscape, a Stilwell, Kansas-based landscape and irrigation firm serving the greater Kansas City metropolitan area since 1999. Messenger’s will be unified under the Focal Pointe brand as part of the Company’s Kansas City operation led by Kansas City Branch Manager, Curt Marchand.
The acquisition doubles Focal Pointe’s footprint in the Kansas City market, brings a high-quality team of professionals into the company, and gives Focal Pointe the depth and scale needed to service large, complex sites that require unique capability.
“They’re a perfect fit for us,” said Marchand. “Messenger’s has a longstanding reputation of people who care. They’re humble, authentic, and have a passion to delight their customers. We are delighted to welcome them into the Focal Pointe family and look forward to achieving great things together.”
“Finding the right fit for our team and customers was the most important thing to us. said Fouder & CEO, Gail Messenger. “I know that we have found a new home by joining with Focal Pointe. Our focus has always been on making customers happy and Focal Pointe has already welcomed us in with open arms. The Focal Pointe team has made the transition process smooth and has allowed us to get back to what we know best: providing the best service to our customers. We are excited about the new opportunities as we continue on our next chapter.”
Messenger’s is Focal Pointe’s fourth acquisition in a year-and-a-half, as the Company continues to welcome acquisition opportunities with business owners throughout the Midwest who love people and plants.
