Entrepreneur and design leader transforms family business
Michelle Robins, a third-generation business owner, took over her family’s window and door business in 2002 and, over a period of several years, transformed it into a premier kitchen and bath design firm in Eastern Michigan.
Robins began the transformation process by establishing herself as a leading kitchen and bath designer and project manager in her community. Her designs stand out as unique, cutting edge and one-of-a-kind. She has a flair for finish and functionality that is sophisticated and original.
Ultimately, she switched the name of her Linden, MI-based business from Linden Sash & Door to Linden Kitchen & Bath to better reflect its new focus and mission. Today, some 17 years later, the firm is a well-respected and growing business that is not only admired by consumers and other members of the business community, but also by her peers in the kitchen and bath industry.
Currently, Linden Kitchen & Bath employs two full-time sales staff, an installer as well as two assistants. While the firm’s top line revenue has grown consistently, so too has the company’s profits. Today, Robins is a leading business owner in her community and is fast on her way to becoming a design and business leader in the national kitchen and bath industry.
