Kelsey Stuart
Chief Executive Officer
Kelsey is a second-generation window covering professional with personal experience for nearly 20 years, both in the field as well as in franchise leadership. As the CEO of Bloomin' Blinds, Kelsey is passionate about the strategic growth and scaling of each franchise business and creating a culture of raving fans. Kelsey leads the corporate franchise team as the example, rather than the exception, and takes pride in a team that interacts like family.
Kristopher Stuart
Chief Operating Officer
Kristopher has been with Bloomin’ Blinds since day one. He was the first ever employee and field technician. While helping the family grow the original Bloomin’ Blinds to nearly $3M in annual revenue, Kristopher pursued and became a career Firefighter/Paramedic. Serving as an Engine Co. Lieutenant, he gained valuable team leadership and people management experience. Kristopher now serves our franchisees through growth and business development coaching, and much like the entire team at Bloomin’ Blinds, takes great pride in fostering our owner’s abilities to become self-aware business operators.
Kevin Stuart
Chief Technology & Training Officer
Kevin is our jack of all trades and generally the first point of call for technical support in both repairs and installations. His role is to help our owners develop technical skills and lead others within the corporate team who can help do the same. Much like his brothers, Kristopher and Kelsey, Kevin is not without the years of hands-on experience that has led Bloomin’ Blinds to have the solid reputation it has today. From new franchisees to long-standing owners within the system, Kevin is the go-to for all things technical.
