PE-Services purchased the historic Good Housekeeping building in downtown Lebanon, Ohio. Trent Beighle, President of PE-Services says “The building is undergoing an extensive interior renovation to both the first and second floors which should be completed by mid-summer 2008.” Trent continues, “This will allow for the complete relocation of the firms corporate headquarters.”

Currently based in Fairborn, Ohio, the move to Lebanon will provide a more centralized location between Dayton and Cincinnati. Craig Slaughterbeck, VP of Retail Design says, “The Lebanon office will give our firm a greater presence in Cincinnati, while allowing us to continue to expand our national exposure.” With offices currently in Minnesota, Florida, and Columbus, PE-Services will be growing their market exposure while maintaining a commitment to their roots in southern Ohio.

The transaction is a great opportunity for both parties involved as well. The previous owner, Marilyn Haley, will maintain a retail space on the Broadway storefront, supporting the charm and appeal that downtown Lebanon is so well known for. “The two primary markets for PE-Services, retail and hospitality, are mainstays of downtown Lebanon making it a perfect fit for our firm.” says Brent Grilliot, VP of Hospitality Design.

The Good Housekeeping building was built in downtown Lebanon in the 1800’s. Trent agrees that the fit is tremendous for their firm, known for their unique blend of old fashioned service and the desire to always meet or beat clients’ schedules. Trent says, “The new historic location will allow for a symbolic marriage of our desire to provide 19th century service at 21st century speed.”
