Up And Running

ST. LOUIS | Friday, March 17, 2006

Dan Keuss and nine others let go from May Department Stores March 1 started Integrated Energy Resources to provide energy management solutions to mainly retail customers. Keuss said he's anticipating first-year revenue of $3 million and year-over-year growth of 25 percent helping retailers -- such as Dillard's, Nordstrom, JC Penney and Federated Department Stores -- save money on their energy costs. Keuss, 58, said he was prepared to retire after getting his severance from May, but he saw the need to employ many of the young, talented workers who were otherwise going to leave the industry. Integrated Energy Resources is based in Dupo. Driving change Andy Fries has joined the local office of Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade & Douglas as senior project manager responsible for leading PB's transportation practice in Missouri. Fries had been the "F" in local engineering firm EFK Moen, another player in the highway engineering market. PB has 20 people in its transportation group and a total St. Louis office staff of 90, led by Area Manager Mike Wild. It did about $50 million in transportation work last year. Fixer-upper The husband-wife team of Chris and Susan Cameron bought the local franchise of Maintenance Made Simple for a $30,000 franchising fee. Maintenance Made Simple provides homeowners with a solution for almost every home repair and improvement. The Camerons have the area's only franchise.
