# Hendricks County Flyer: Multi-Unit Franchisee Launches New Sylvan Learning Location in Plainfield

**TL;DR:** Kent Kolbow, a multi-unit franchisee, has launched a new Sylvan Learning location in Plainfield, Indiana. The location was moved from another area to Plainfield to better serve students in the region.

## Story

Kent Kolbow, a member of the Sylvan Learning team since 1991, owns and operates 11 Sylvan centers across Indiana and most recently moved a location to Plainfield.

"It was a logical move to go to this building,” Kolbow told the Hendricks County Flyer. “The town’s been great with everything, and the school system in Plainfield is amazing.”

Before moving the location to Plainfield, students living in the Plainfield area had been traveling far to get the tutoring help they needed, so opening a center to the region made a lot of sense to Kolbow and his team.
