LOCAL JACKSONVILLE BUSINESSES FEATURED ON NEW HGTV SERIES
‘THE RENOVATOR’
Filmed In Jacksonville Area and Hosted By Local TV Personality and Entrepreneur Marcus Lemonis, All-New Home Design Series Premieres Nationally This Week
New York [October 10, 2022] Entrepreneur, television personality and Jacksonville-area resident Marcus Lemonis (former host of CNBC’s ‘The Profit’), who has made a career of fixing business chaos, will use his talents to improve families' lives and homes in the new HGTV series, The Renovator. Premiering Tuesday, October 11 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, Lemonis is not the only Jacksonville connection featured on the series. The first season was filmed almost entirely in the Jacksonville area and numerous area businesses provided their services and expertise, often for free or deeply discounted rates, to improve the homes of local residents.
“I could not be more appreciative of the way the local Jacksonville businesses rallied to help the area residents get the best of the best in materials and services for their new homes,” said Lemonis. “They did all this without a lot of fanfare, but I wanted to make sure they receive the recognition they deserve. These are the finest professionals the Jacksonville area has to offer.”
Included among the local businesses are:
• ACE Granite - Counter Tops
• Atlantic Self Storage - Storage for families
• Helping Hands Movers - Movers for families
• J Turner & Co. / Jenny and Mark Turner – Furniture
• The Closet Store - Closets
• One Touch Solutions / Kevin Brown - Wallpaper

• Art company Ponte Vedra / Deborah Story and Chris Mier — Framing/Photography
• Sweet Pete’s Candy Shop / Pete and Allison Behringer

The talents of each of these businesses will be featured throughout the series, which follows Lemonis tackling the business of home. He identifies problems with the families’ homes, and through honest conversations and activities framed by the design process, he provides solutions for each family’s physical surroundings and personal trials that will lead to spectacular reveals. In the end, Marcus will get these houses in order – leaving families better connected and living in a beautifully renovated and functional home.
“Renovation is just a portion of why I spend time with these families. The other reason is to help renovate the way they think so they can communicate better,” said Lemonis. “Throughout the season, I met some amazing families who needed someone on their side to provide solutions that transform their homes into ideal spaces and help strengthen their relationships. I use my own life experiences and my passion for design to create a stronger foundation for their home and their family.”
The series premiere will follow Marcus to Orange Park, Florida, where he will help a family of six find solutions for their home’s disorganized spaces, as well as its outdated style and cramped floor plan. During the initial tour, Marcus will uncover the owners' very different household priorities and set out to resolve their tension through thoughtful design. The three-bedroom house will be rearranged to better accommodate the kids, and the process will tear down both physical and emotional walls. A dramatic backyard makeover completes the improvements, as the small home gets turned into a neighborhood showpiece.
