## Story

Sylvan Learning franchisees Lenny Rakers and Misty Menossi recently became the owners of the Sylvan Learning center in Edwardsville, Ill. In addition to the transition in ownership, the new franchisees also moved into a bigger building in town with more modern amenities.

“Our new location is actually double the square footage and the parking is much better,” Menossi told Ed Glen Today. “We can grow several of our programs with robotics and have more tables for traditional tutoring. We are very excited about opening the new facility.

The two siblings have lived in Madison County for several years and were very familiar with Sylvan Learning, with Rakers receiving tutoring at Sylvan as a child.

“I personally know the program and want other people to excel,” Rakers told EdGlen Today. “There is nothing better than to make kids grow and be confident with learning. If they lose confidence, they don’t want to learn. Sylvan makes a difference with confidence to learn and excel further.”
