Opinions
Family businesses play important role in the economy
Q: What do NASCAR, Jon Hall Chevrolet and McClain Insurance have in common?
A: All are family businesses.
Stetson University’s Family Enterprise Center defines
family businesses as those where two or more family members exercise substantial control or ownership.
Family businesses account for a large portion of not
only the local economy, but also the national economy.
According to the Family Enterprise Center’s website,
family businesses produce more than half of our country’s
Gross National Product and make up one-third of the companies on the Fortune 500.
Patrick Morris, a spokesman for the U.S. Small Business
Administration in Washington, D.C., said family-owned businesses that had employees (as opposed to sole practitioners)
accounted for nearly one-third of all employer businesses nationally, according to data collected in 2002.
PricewaterhouseCoopers last year conducted a survey
of its own of more than 1,500 family businesses throughout
the world, which produced the following findings.
Family firms were “better placed to take the long view”
than their nonfamily counterparts “because they’re under
less pressure to deliver quarterly results and pay dividends to
shareholders.”
Family
businesses are
often “underpinned by the
values of the
founding family,” and as a reEditor’s Notebook
sult are often
better equipped
to “weather storms that overturn larger more aggressively
managed operations.”
On the flipside, “only 30 percent of U.S. family firms survive the shift to the second generation, only 12 percent are
still viable in the third generation and only 3 percent make it
to the fourth generation or beyond.”
The reasons, according to the report, include the
founder simply being too caught up in the day-to-day activities of running his or her business to adequately plan for the
future, a reluctancy on the part of some founders to cede
control to the next generation – ironically because of the passion that drove them to launch their businesses in the first
place. In some cases, it can be because the founder has difficulty choosing a successor without offending other family
members.
Clayton
Park
All that makes it all the more impressive to hear the story of a family business such as McClain Insurance Agency in
Ormond-by-the-Sea.
The agency, which recently moved its offices to 1272
Oceanshore Blvd., was started in 1950 in Washington, D.C., by
Bill McClain, who moved it here in the 1960s after falling in
love with the area while visiting on vacation.
His sister-in-law, Elizabeth “Betty” Brown, soon followed with her family from Pittsburgh to take a job with the
agency as a secretary. She obtained her insurance agent license and bought the business upon McClain’s retirement.
Brown’s son George, who joined the agency in 1970, also
became a licensed agent and took over the business upon his
mother’s death in 2002.
Now, according to the agency’s website, George’s two
sons, Craig and Mike, both of whom have become licensed
agents at McClain, are being groomed to eventually take over
as fourth generation owners.
How’s that for beating the odds?

as well as more on Stetson’s Family Enterprise Center, turn

Friend of the family:
Stetson program prepares next generation of family business ownership
By Valerie Whitney
Staff Writer
or the better part of a decade, Greg McCann has directed
the Family Enterprise Program at Stetson University in
DeLand.
The program, one of the first of its kind in the nation, is
focused on members of the next generation of family businesses — young adults whose families own businesses, the
current generation of family business leaders and the professional advisors who serve them.
“The awareness of family businesses is just starting to
gain momentum,” said McCann, who also teaches Business
Law at Stetson. He holds a doctorate in law from the University of Florida and an accounting degree from Stetson. He is a
member of the Florida Bar and a licensed certified public accountant.
Family businesses are those in which two or more members of a family execute control, according to McCann. The
reach extends far beyond the mom-and-pop operations
found in neighborhoods.
In fact, most of the businesses in the United States regardless of size are considered family businesses, he said, including
about one-third of the Fortune 500 companies.
About 42 percent of the students that major in business
at Stetson have parents involved in family-owned businesses.
There are about 40 students majoring in business with a concentration in family businesses and another 80 to 100 that are
enrolled in the class.
“Managing family involvement is the core challenge to
family businesses,” McCann said.
F
One of the hallmarks of success, he said, is involving the
family in such a way that the decisions made are good for
both the business and the family members themselves.
“Getting dad to realize that it is time for him to retire is
not just an economic decision,” McCann said, adding that is
something those the family looks to for advice, such as
lawyers or accountants, also should keep in mind.
McCann, who also is a family business consultant, said he
has worked with families that had filed lawsuits against each
other for just such reasons. His role was to try and defuse the
situation. “We work with families to make sure their goals are
value driven and not just for tax considerations,” he said.
McCann
“Managing family
involvement is the
core challenge to
family businesses”
“If people think family business is just business, try firing
your mother-in-law and then going to Thanksgiving dinner,” he
added.
He also said that it is important to set boundaries when
talking about work. “There should be places that you don’t talk
about business,” he said, such as family social functions. Save
such conversations for meetings called specifically to discuss
business.
Furthermore, he said, it is important to maintain professionalism at work. “If everyone needs a master’s degree to be a vice
president, don’t hire your son for the job if he doesn’t have one,”
he said, adding the mere fact that you are related to an individual is not reason enough to keep someone on a job if the person
is not performing well.
Research has shown that family businesses outperform
non-family business, McCann said. He cited several factors for
this including the fact that family businesses look to the future
moreso than those governed by legions of stockholders that
want an immediate return on investment.
Family businesses also are more inclined to invest in longterm development, training and retention of leaders, he noted.
Furthermore, these businesses are able to adjust and adapt to
market forces quicker than others, he said.
On the downside, only about 33 percent of family businesses survive the transition to the second generation and
only about 11 percent survive transition to the third generation, according to the center’s research. These low survival
rates are largely due to a significant lack of succession planning and mismanagement of the overlap between the family
and the business.
Perhaps, one of the more spectacular examples in U.S.
history is the Vanderbilt fortune. Cornelius Vanderbilt created a fortune in shipping and railroads. But 50 years after his
death, several of his direct descendants were penniless, as
pointed out in a 2006 article in the Journal of Economic Perspectives on family businesses.
Economist John Kenneth Galbraith was quoted in the
same article as saying “that several generations of Vanderbilts
showed both the talent for acquiring money and the dispensing of it in unmatched volume.”

Focus: FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESSES
In it for the long haul:
Haynes’ Brothers Furniture: 69 years and going strong
By Hilary Lehman
Staff Writer
B
ack when Haynes’ Brothers Furniture
started in 1942, the store sold kerosene
stoves and flatspring mattresses.
Back then, the store was called Welcome
Travelers Furniture, and was run by Haynes
family matriarch Estelle Poitevient.
Then her sons, Tom and Doyle Haynes,
took over the company back in the 1980s.
They renamed the store Haynes’ Brothers 15
years ago. Now, 10 family members spanning
three generations work at the store’s four locations in Daytona Beach, Orange City, Port
Orange and Ormond Beach.
“We participated so we could eat,” Doyle
Haynes, 77, said of growing up working at the
store. He went to work full-time at 17 after his
stepfather’s death.
“I guess that’s where I got the nickname

that I was lazy because I didn’t go to work
full-time at 12,” Tom Haynes, 71, said,
laughing.
Poitevient died in April, just a few days
short of reaching 102, and family members

credit her with creating a business that has
lasted.
“She taught us most of the good stuff we
know,” Tom Haynes said.
“The customer is always right, or they’re
going to be someone else’s customer,” said
Wade Brown, 51, a part-owner who married
Kim Haynes and runs the Daytona Beach
store. “That’s what Granny always taught us.”
But it hasn’t been easy running the family furniture empire in the tough economy,
the Hayneses say.
They haven’t laid off any of their 77 current employees, but empty positions have
been eliminated. Family members have been
flexible, doing whatever needs to be done —
in May, Doyle and Tom Haynes were busy
planting trees at their Daytona Beach
location.
“Everybody’s had to do more than their
regular jobs and fill in and stay positive,” Tom
Haynes said.

Family driven:
Family-owned car dealerships abound in the Volusia-Flagler area
By Tom Knox
Staff Writer
E
veryone knows the old cliche: a senior
citizen lying on his deathbed, surrounded by his family and facing the last minutes
of his life. “My only regret,” he says, “is
spending too much time working and not
enough time with my wife and kids.”
Concentrating on work at the family’s expense is a familiar lamentation people experience as they age. It’s much easier to avoid
deathbed regret, though, if you work with
your family.
Automotive dealerships in Volusia County have clamped down on this idea. Whether
owning a place together or working for different dealers, the car business here is a family affair.
There’s the Ritcheys, headed by scion
Glenn Ritchey and his two middle-aged general-manager sons. The Mullinax clan is run
by trailblazer Ed and his two sons, Larry and
Jerry. Then there are the Dyes, two brothers
who work at different dealerships. A new
generation, the Dannehower family, features
father Gib and his two young sons, one firmly entrenched in the business and the other
in a trial period.
THE RITCHEY FAMILY:
SOON TO TRANSITION
Glenn Ritchey is most-known today for
being the mayor of Daytona Beach, but what
led him to that office is his car dealership
business.
Ritchey, 71, came to Daytona from Lexington, Ky., in the early 1960s to play music.
When his children got too old for him to be
traveling around as a professional musician,
he decided to get a stable day job. His wife
worked at a bank and cashed payroll checks
for car salesmen, and she saw that they made
a decent living.
“It was a temporary thing in my mind, so
I parked my car on Volusia Avenue and at
that time all of the brands were along that
one stretch where Bethune-Cookman is,”
Ritchey said of that fateful day in late 1967.
“So I parked my car there and went down the
street and asked each one for a job selling
cars. The only one that would hire me was
Ford.”
He knew a lot of people in the communi-

ty from playing music, so he had a built-in
prospect list. More than 40 years and eight
dealerships and 11 brands later, he runs one
of the Southeast’s most successful dealer-

between attending Daytona Beach Community College. He worked part-time in the
parts department before moving to sales in

ships and all four of his children work
for him.
Two of them, Bud, 47, and Glenn Jr., 42,
are general managers in line to succeed
their dad.

1984. He sold cars for three years until moving through the management ranks in South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida to where he is
today. He’s been in his current position for
two-and-a-half years.
When Bud left as general manager of Jon

took over.
At age 15, Glenn Jr. worked odd jobs in
body shops at his dad’s dealerships, and after
briefly attending DBCC he moved into sales.
He’s worked at almost every location in different capacities. He sort of fell into the job,
he said, but once he started working he never looked back.
“I don’t know what I was supposed to do,
but it’s all we knew,” he said.
Glenn Jr. said he did have one moment of
rebellion: when he took a leave of absence for
a month to cut lawns.
“I was going to teach him a lesson, but I
came back to the business,” Glenn Jr. said.
His father jokes that Glenn Jr. “set the
lawn business back years, really.”
Glenn Ritchey said he understands that
people might say his sons wouldn’t have
their jobs without their dad. Bud said his dad
expects as much from him as anyone else.
“He does not back off,” Bud said. “He expects hard work and then some.”
Glenn Jr. added, “He gives us the opportunity for it, but there’s no entitlement. He
didn’t have it, and he lets us know that what
he had to get he’s worked for, and he expects
the same for us.”
When the senior Ritchey retires, his two
sons will take over. He doesn’t know when
that is, although he said it likely will be sooner rather than later. And he intends to still be
involved in acquisitions.
“I think the biggest fear of retiring with
most people is becoming irrelevant,” Glenn
Ritchey said, “and by that I mean when
you’re not the person who people ask at least
what you think of something.”
Glenn Ritchey owns the two dealerships
where his sons work, and is a partner with
Ted Serbousek in the others. His daughter
Patty, 49, and son Shawn, 46, also work for
him at Southeast Automotive Management
Inc., which he also owns with Serbousek.

Central and South Florida got their start in
northeast Ohio. Ed Mullinax had sold cars
since the late 1950s before deciding to start
his own dealership in 1970, Ed Mullinax Ford,
in Amherst, a small Ohio town near Lake
Erie. He popularized “one-price selling,” so
that customers wouldn’t need to negotiate
over prices, and became the offical car deal-

er of the Cleveland Browns football team.
Ed grew that dealership in the middle of
nowhere into a powerhouse, expanding to
four Ford dealerships and a Lincoln-Mercury
dealership in Ohio and Florida.
Ed’s sons, Larry, 50, and Jerry, 49, worked
for him throughout. But they resettled to
Florida after selling their five dealerships in
late 1996. The Mulllinax family had worked
for the new company, Auto Nation (formed
by the same people who created Blockbuster
Video), but didn’t like their new corporate
life.
By 2000, the three had resigned from the
new company, and they looked in Florida to
again be a family-run dealership.

Jerry opened the first Florida store in
Apopka in 2001.
Two years later, the Mullinaxes bought a
New Smyrna Beach location. Two years ago,
they acquired Ford stores in Lake Park and
Kissimmee. Jerry and Lerry are majority
owners, and Ed, 78, is the minority owner.
Other partners are involved, too.
Jerry and Larry had worked in their dad’s
shop since they were nine, cleaning up the
body shop and cutting grass. Larry runs the
New Smyrna Beach location while his brother runs the Apopka location.
“I couldn’t have learned from anybody
better,” Larry said of his father. “Me and my
brother, personality-wise we’re pretty different but that’s a good thing — he brings different things to the table. It’s a great relationship. We talk probably four to five times a
day.”
Larry said he enjoys the competitiveness
with his brother and being able to throw
ideas off of him. It’s the closeness and easygoing relationship they share that allows
them to do well, he said.
“It’s fun working with my brother. Everyday we’re planning, trying to figure out how
to get better. Not many people can do that —
to be in touch with a family member every
day, having fun, getting work done and doing
something you love. It’s pretty unique.”
THE DYE FAMILY:
FRIENDLY COMPETITION
Randy Dye and his brother Kurt run different car dealerships, but their love of the
business began with their father.
Their father started selling Dodge cars in
the early 1960s in a small Pennsyvanian town
and in 1966 brought home a new Charger.
“I was just like, Holy cow, this is the
coolest thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” Randy
said.
His father soon became general manager, and Randy worked for him for a while. He

went to school on a golf scholarship but soon
left to return to the car business.
In 1982, Randy left Pennsylvania for
Florida. Kurt had a teaching degree but later
followed his brother to DeLand Ford, where
Randy left the next year to manage a
dealership in Huntsville, Ala.
Kurt took over as general manager of DeLand Nissan in 1994, where he remains.
Randy, 51, found his way back to Daytona

I feel fortunate.”

Beach and in 1997 bought a Kia and Dodge
dealership now known as Daytona Dodge
Chrysler Jeep. He recently expanded his
business to include the Fiat brand.
Kurt, 48, said that since he deals imported vehicles and Randy deals domestic vehicles, it’s fun to compete against each other
for the business of a friend or family member. It’s friendly competition, Randy said, and
if a customer is interested in a brand the other brother says, they’ll often refer that person.
“We talk to each other about the results
and we share ideas,” Randy said. “There really isn’t any rivalry. There’s nothing I wouldn’t
tell him, and vice versa.”
Randy’s half-brother and daughter work
for him, and another Dye brother works at a
dealership in Pennsylvania.
“Car people are strange. You get it in
your blood,” Randy said. “There’s days I
guess you curse it, but honestly I feel fortunate.”

Working near your brother in the same
industry is one thing, but have they ever
thought about teaming up and becoming
partners?
“I don’t think we’ve ever ruled that out,
but it’s not something you think about every
day,” Randy said. “And I think it would have
to be the right opportunity. I don’t think either one of us would forgo what we’re doing
right now.”
THE DANNEHOWER FAMILY:
THE NEW GENERATION
Volusia County has a big chunk of family-owned auto dealerships with seasoned
adult workers. Gib Dannehower and his family hopes to be the next family affair, as his
young sons are just beginning their careers.
Dannehower always loved cars, and the
University of Miami business student went
home and sold them during summer break
back home in Springfield, N.J.
From his sophomore year in 1977 until after graduation, he sold cars for the biggest
Dodge dealer in the country. He worked his
way up to general manager and stayed until
1995, when he moved to Florida to manage a
dealership in Sarasota.

buys and sells used cars full-time.
“Like everybody when they’re young, I
thought I was going to be a pro baseball player,” he said. “I knew that this is what I was going to do if I didn’t do that.”
Troy also washed cars when he was a
teenager. He played football at Bethune-
“Like everybody when they’re young,
I thought I was going to be a pro
baseball player.”
Gibby Dannehower
A year later, he and Bruce Rossmeyer, the
late head of the Rossmeyer Harley-Davidson
motorcycle empire, bought the Daytona Toyota dealership. They bought DeLand Kia in
April 2005 and Palm Coast Ford in January
2008.
Soon, those locations will be all Gib’s: he
and the Rossmeyer family signed a deal to
turn over ownership to him that is waiting to
clear on manufacturers’ approval. The Rossmeyers want to focus on motorcycles, Dannehower said.
Gib’s two sons, Gibby, 23, and Troy, 21, are
now in the business. They are the youngest
in the area’s automotive family tree.
Both were celebrated high school athletes – Gibby a pitcher, Troy a quarterback.
Gibby is finishing up classes now at the University of Central Florida’s Daytona campus,
while Troy is at Daytona State.
Gibby knows that his future is at the
dealership. He washed cars and did odd jobs
on the Toyota lot beginning at age 13, and sold
his first car there when he was 17. Now, he
Cookman last year but isn’t playing anymore,
so he wanted to get into the family business
and see how he likes it. He’s only been selling
used cars for a couple of weeks, the beginning of a trial period that could shape his career for years to come.
“I realized I’m not looking to play ball
anymore, so I figured I’d come here and see
what the business is like,” Troy said, “to see if
this is what I want to do as a career.”
Gibby and Troy said working for their
dad isn’t too stressful because he’s not their
direct boss.
The family emphasizes the new family
tradition to its customers. A commercial
with Gib and Gibby ran in the area for
awhile, and earlier this month they shot a
new spot, letting customers know they’ll be
around for generations.
“I want to see them come in and take it
on,” Gib said. “When they were young kids
I’d always say, ‘Where are you going to live
when you grow up? What would you say?” he
said, turning to Troy. “‘Same street as you,
dad.’ I’ve always wanted them nearby. We
were a pretty tight family. So it’s nice to have
them around and share your knowledge and
experience.”
When asked why so many families enter
the auto sales business, Gibby said it’s simple:
you see what you can get out of it.
“It’s kind of tough to get away from it,” he
said. “Once you’re selling cars, you’re here 50
to 60 hours a week. Even sometimes on your
day off, it’s like, I’ve got to get back here and
call these people. It kind of pulls you.” ■

HAYNES from p. 5
moving into new houses, business has been
slower the past two years. Credit is tighter,
too.
However, Haynes family members say
they’re in a better position than some other
stores because they haven’t been leveraged
and own most of their stores, so the company has stayed strong.
“Our product has to be paid for in 30
days,” Tom Haynes said. “That goes by pretty
fast.”
They’ve been able to react with lower
price points and different scales of furniture,
Brown said.
Business patterns have also changed.
Weekends always used to be busiest, but now
the busiest day could be in the middle of the
week.
“You just have to stay ready,” Tom
Haynes said.
Brown said the style of furniture has also
changed. Where people used to just want
one look through their entire home, now an
eclectic, well-traveled look is popular. Tom
Haynes said the company tries to buy American-made whenever possible, but also has
international suppliers to meet a wider demand.

For the future, they hope business will be
stronger. One of their biggest goals, Brown
said, is to be able to provide a long-term, stable job for each of their employees.
“We’re a company that’s poised to be
around a long time,” he said.
With the younger Hayneses coming up
through the ranks, the original Haynes brothers are hopeful business will continue to stay
what they made it. Cousins Kyle and Jason
Haynes work at the company now — Kyle in
inventory control and Jason as an order specialist.

Total Comfort
It’s not every day that you meet a fifth
generation DeLand resident who also owns
a well established business that has served
friends and neighbors throughout Volusia
and Flagler counties for almost 35 years.
Dan Hucks, president and owner of
Total Comfort, along with his wife, Lynda,
have been operating this heating & air
conditioning company that also handles all
aspects of plumbing, electrical and propane
installations and service since 1976.
Offering a money back guarantee if
you are not 100 percent satisfied, Total
Comfort employs more than 85 local
technicians and office staff to assist
customers with fast and friendly service on
a wide variety of installations and repairs.
“Our technicians are NATE Certified
(North American Technician Excellence)
which indicates a real world working
knowledge of HVAC and HVACR
systems,” Hucks says with obvious pride.
“I’m adamant about not disguising
salesmen as technicians and want our
customers to know that when they have an
issue, we send someone out who can fix
the problem . . . not sell them something
they don’t need.
“We’re fortunate to have retained
several employees for more than 30 years
with even more who have been with us for
at least 20 years,” Hucks remarks. “A low
rate of turnover means we can concentrate
on providing them consistent factory
training which, in turn, ensures to our
customers that when we send a technician
to their home, they will know what needs
to be done to make a unit functional in a
timely fashion.”
As a Carrier Factory Authorized
dealer and proud recipient of the
highly prestigious Presidents Award from
Carrier Corporation from 2009 through
2011, Hucks says they also can guide
customers in making decisions on energy
efficient units that will bring them up to
$1,325 in Carrier factory rebates as well as
tax incentive and rebates from FPL and
Progress Energy. At no cost to the
customer, Total Comfort will send someone
out who can provide all the details, as well
as explain the importance of proper
removal and recycling of older model units.
Total Comfort also provides installation

and repairs to liquid propane (LP) gas and
electrical wiring issues in both new and
existing homes and businesses. With
hurricane season approaching, Hucks
mentions the convenience of having a
whole house generator in case of power
interruptions but reminds us that proper
installation of both LP and generators is
very important for your family’s safety.
“If you’ve never had a gas stove, water
heater, or fireplace, I think it’s important to
know that propane is very environmentally
friendly.
It burns clean, never goes bad, is less
expensive to use to cook/heat water, dries
clothes in 30 percent less time and, best of
all, is a resource that we have an
abundance of here in the United States,”
Hucks explains. “The nice thing about
having our technicians handle the
installation is that we do everything from
running the proper lines, burying the tank,
and placing our customers’ safety at the top
of our list.”
Committed to giving back to the
community that has been so good to him,
Hucks and Total Comfort support a
number of local charities including Easter
Seals, The Humane Society and the Police
Athletic League.
“I believe these organizations make a
difference,” he says. And that is at the core
of both his professional and personal
approach to life and customer service!

Kalin Home Furnishings in Ormond Beach celebrates 50 years in business
By Valerie Whitney
Staff Writer

t age 79, the founder of Kalin Home
Furnishings on South Yonge Street
in Ormond Beach shows no signs of getting ready to retire.
In fact, Barry Kalin figures he has another 10 to 15 years on the job.
“I still like it (selling furniture). It is
not only my livelihood but what I enjoy
doing most,” he said during a recent interview in his office at the store, which
marked its 50th anniversary this year.
Still, he did not intend to work until
this point in his life.
Keeping a family business going from
one generation to the next takes planning.
His daughters worked in the business during the summer when they were
growing up. But, when he does step
down, Kalin will be turning the management reins over to his sons-in-law —
Lenny Frazer and Rodd Gould — as per a
succession plan that he set up years ago.
Frazer, a chiropractor by training,
joined the staff 26 years ago. His duties
include responsibility for buying and
merchandising.
Gould, a certified public accountant,
handles marketing and advertising. He
has been with the family business 22
years.
“He (Kalin) is a good consultant with
all of his experience,” said Frazer, who initially went to work at the business to help

It’s easy to nominate! Go to www.vfbr.com and click on “nominations”.
Nominees will be considered for career successes, notable accomplishments within
her business or industry, involvement in community service and professional
organizations, and personal accomplishments. Eligibility is limited to residents
of Volusia and Flagler counties.
To be considered, nominations must be submitted
on-line by 5:00 p.m. on Friday July 1st
out when they were shorthanded and
ended up staying.
While Kalin holds the title of corporate president, his relationship with Frazer and Gould is more of equal partners,
they said.
“We don’t use corporate titles,” Frazer said.
To which Kalin added, “We fill in for
one another when needed.”
One of the rewards of having family
involvement, according to Kalin, is that
he gets to spend a lot of time with the
younger generation that he otherwise
might miss.
“It keeps my family in town so I can
watch my grandchildren grow up. We
celebrate a lot of birthdays and holidays
together,” said Kalin, who learned about
the furniture business from working with
his brother Ed, who opened a Kane’s Furniture store in Sarasota in 1950.
“I came out of the Air Force in 1956
and went to work for him,” Kalin said.
In 1961, Barry Kalin, with his wife
Lois, opened a Kane’s store of their own
on Magnolia Avenue in Daytona Beach.
Barry Kalin relocated his business in
1964 to its current 50,000-square-foot location at 280 S. Yonge St. In addition,
Kalin owns a 40,000-square-foot distribution center on U.S. 1, north of Ormond
Beach.
In 2004, Kalin renamed his store
Kalin’s Home Furnishings. “We wanted to
eliminate confusion between our store
and Kane Furniture of Central Florida,”

he said at the time. “They would advertise
product we didn’t carry, and that wasn’t
good. The overlapping advertising created
confusion.”
Furniture stores nationwide are struggling to survive following the downturn in
the housing market in recent years. Kalin
said his firm has not been immune but he is
cautiously optimistic.
“At this time, we have been able to develop most of the pieces of the puzzles that
make the retail picture complete. We have
the right people, a wide assortment of goods
and outstanding delivery and service,” he
said.
Having family involved in the operation
of a business presents both challenges and
rewards. When done correctly, it can constitute a strategic advantage, according to Business Week magazine.
Family businesses mean the company is
run by people with both an emotional and financial investment.
Kalin agreed, noting that laying off staff
is harder to do in a small business. The
downturn in the economy forced him to cut
back on personnel, which he was able to do
through a combination of attrition and layoffs. His current staffing is under 30. “People
From left, Lenny Fraser and Barry Kalin.
are like family,” he said, adding making the
decision to lay off staff was not taken lightly.
Family businesses also are more agile
sometimes when it comes to making
changes and being conservative in spending,
according to Greg McCann, director of the
Family Enterprise Center at Stetson University in DeLand.

is definitely a sticking point with Kalin. He
offered this advice to anyone looking to start
a family-owned enterprise.
“One of the key things is probably not to
grow too fast, so you don’t create a lot of
debt,” he said. “Debt is almost like poison. It
can get you in trouble.”
Kalin received a degree in business administration from the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.
“However, the best education I’ve gotten
is through the school of hard knocks,” he
said. “When you get into it (running a business) day by day, you learn by experience.” ■

BISHOP’S GLEN
Area assisted living facilities carry on despite struggling economy
By Bob Koslow
Staff Writer
D
espite a growing number of elderly
residents, assisted living facilities in
Volusia and Flagler counties are feeling
the pain of the housing crisis and economic downturn.
“Assisted living facilities are a housing market-driven industry,” said Peter
Peabody, regional manager for Retirement Housing Foundation, the Long
Beach, Calif. firm that operates Bishop’s
Glen in Holly Hill and The Cloisters in
DeLand, two of Volusia County’s largest
assisted living facilities. “When the time
comes to move into an ALF, maybe people can’t sell their home for what they
feel its worth, so they stay longer in their
home. It hurts mainly the independent
living parts of our facilities.”
Also, retirees are having to move in
“We’re definitely seeing the repercussions of the economy,” said Janis Stovall, residence director of The Windsor
of Palm Coast. “We’re only about a year
old and we’re not full, so it’s a good time
to make the move if people can sell their
homes. I see the market picking up a bit
and we’re seeing more calls and interest.
I’m doing five to seven tours a week and
that’s good. I expect to be full by the end
of the summer.”
The Florida Agency for Health Care
Administration licenses and regulates
several type of health care facilities for
elderly and adults with disabilities.
Assisted living facilities are one type.
An assisted living facility provides more
care and services than adult day care
centers and adult family care homes, but
less than skilled nursing facilities for
bedridden patients. Lists of licensed facilities can be found online at florida-
“We’re down to about 80 percent
capacity where we used to be at
100 percent with a waiting list as
long as my arm.”

—Barbara Riger, administrator at The Cloisters
with their children who may have lost
jobs or the unemployed kids have moved
back in with mom and dad to become
caretakers, thus delaying moves to assisted living facilities, said Barbara Riger, administrator at The Cloisters, a 22-bed
gated facility.
“We’re down to about 80 percent capacity where we used to be at 100 percent with a waiting list as long as my
arm,” she said.
There are more than 2,700 licensed
assisted living facilities in Florida, according to the Florida Agency for Health
Care Administration. Volusia County has
91 assisted living facilities with 3,239 beds
and 23 are in Flagler County with 354
beds.
healthfinder.gov or the Department of
Elderly Affairs site at floridaaffordableassistedliving.org.
Facilities are usually set up with
apartments or rooms for one or more
residents. Under a standard license, basic services can include housing, meals,
help with daily activities, medication
management, social and leisure activities
and general supervision. Care level services and programs differ among the facilities and impact costs and should be
clearly spelled out in the resident contract. Assisted living facilities also help
arrange health care services for residents
with staff, contract employees, home
health care providers or others.

specialty licenses for extended congregate
care, limited nursing services and limited
mental health services.
Assisted living facilities can have one or
several hundred residents depending on the
facility, zoning regulations, fire marshal and
local health department. In Flagler County,
19 of the 23 (82.7 percent) licensed facilities
have 10 or fewer beds and none are large
than 100. In Volusia County, there are 38
smaller facilities, representing more than 41
percent of licensed assisted living facilities.
There are seven larger than 100.
Most small facilities are in private
homes, including Edith Ignacio’s home on
East Shangri La Drive in Daytona Beach
where she cares for six elderly residents. She
got her license in 2009.
“I was an administrator for an ALF (assisted living facility) and went back to
school and when I got out, I could not find a
job,” she said. “So I did this to take advantage
of my experience and to make a living. It’s
hard to compete with the big companies, but
not everyone wants a big place, so they
come to me.”
Ignacio’s Caring Hearts Assisted Living
is full today, but it took her more than a year
to network and attract residents. She feels
lucky to be full. She knows other home-

based assisted living facilities who
have maybe two residents and are licensed for six.
Florida’s population is aging. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the
state’s median age increased to 40.7
years in the 2010 census from 38.7 in
2000. The portion of state residents 55
and older increased to 29.8 percent
from 27.3 percent.
Some companies are taking advantage of the growth and have opened
new facilities, but they’re few with the
shaky economy.
The Windsor of Palm Coast,
owned by Legend Senior Living in Wichita, Kan., is just over a year old.
“The geography was right and the
market and numbers pointed to a need
here,” Stovall said. “We’re just outside
Ormond Beach where some older resi-
dale of Outer Marker Properties in Atlanta. “We bought there because of the
existing buildings and we could get it
cheaper than building new.”
The growth of in-home health care
providers is also delaying the move
from homes to assisted living facilities
until there is a significant need for
more advanced care, officials said.
Many assisted living facility owners and managers hope that the 78 million baby boomers can raise occupancy rates again when the housing market improves in the coming years.
However, with seniors living longer
and healthier lives and staying longer
in their homes, higher occupancy rates
could be delayed.
Steve Schrunk and local partners

Inc,, an assisted living facility in Port
“The geography was right and
the market and numbers pointed
to a need here. We’re just outside
Ormond Beach where some older
residents are used to large homes
and want a more upscale facility.
We’re also able to get a jump on
the millions of baby boomers just
starting to retire.”

dents are used to large homes and
want a more upscale facility. We’re also
able to get a jump on the millions of
baby boomers just starting to retire.”
The Windsor of Palm Coast also
has a memory care unit, a service increasing in demand.
A trio of partners, who own assisted living facilities in three other states,
purchased a closed 16-bed assisted living facility last year on Herbert Street
in Port Orange and decided the expanded Grace Manor would concentrate services on memory care.
“We would not build a typical ALF
there just because of the amount of
competition and it’s marginal for a
mid-market ALF,” said Jeramy Rags-
Orange. They also own a development
site in New Smyrna Beach that’s permitted for a 102-bed assisted living facility, but are not looking to build any
time soon.
“We’ve done two studies and there
is a need. It would be a $12 million project, but the economy scares us,” said
the former president of the Florida Assisted Living Association. “When will
the baby boomers be ready to move in
ALFs? I have 90 year olds now come
look at our facility and they say, ‘Nice.
I’ll let you know when I’m ready.’” ■
