# The Morning Journal: "Christian Brothers Automotive franchise opens in Avon"

## Story

Christian Brothers Automotive recently celebrated the opening of its second Cleveland-area location on Monday, May 15. Owner and operator Kevin Kaschube worked for BMW as a technician prior to becoming an electrical engineer for Arcelor Mittal Steel in Cleveland. This transition gave him the opportunity to attend Baldwin-Wallace University for his MBA. He was eager to become a member of the Christian Brothers family after learning about the brand through his thesis research.

“I’ve always been an automotive guy with a passion for the automotive industry, and I wanted to do something fun,” Kaschube said in an interview with The Morning Journal. “So I wrote my own business plan for an automotive repair shop. And that was kind of the genesis for Christian Brothers Automotive Avon.”

Christian Brothers was founded in 1982 on the basis of being the honest brand customers can count on, something Kaschube thought the Avon community needed.

“Avon has been amazing and I really enjoy being part of the community and being able to serve our guests,” he said.
