terra alma announces that Kilwins Gainesville is now open in the heart of downtown Gainesville, located in the newly built Gainesville Renaissance building.

Local entrepreneurs and Franchisee/Store Owners, Jeff and Genia Reid, teamed up with terra alma, Associate Michaela Boone, while searching for the perfect retail location. Jeff Reid states that her guidance in securing the space demonstrated a “deep understanding of the unique requirements for our first commercial real estate investment.”

The Reids have a deep connection with the Kilwins brand. For years they enjoyed visiting Kilwins stores on vacations and decided that Gainesville needed a similar experience. Their professional backgrounds were a natural fit for the company's franchise profile, and they fell in love with the culture.

"We didn't want to go into an older building. The Gainesville Renaissance is perfect - it’s a new build right on the square in Gainesville," said Reid. "Michaela did a fantastic job of helping us navigate the process. She educated us on the prevailing rates, things to look out for and everything we needed to know."

Jeff Reid added, "Our experience with terra alma was exceptional, and we 100 percent recommend their services. They've played a significant role in our venture, and we plan to partner with them as we add more franchise locations. We are excited to bring the Kilwins experience to Gainesville."
