Learn About Brandon's Career in Wichita Kansas
Brandon Steven's seemed destined for a career in business from the early years. Business had always played an important role in the Stevens household. His father, Rod Steven Sr., was an entrepreneur himself, having owned 15 Little Joe's Car Wash locations, The Slope ski shop and Dock 44 discount store while he was a child.
He graduated from Southern Illinois University in 1995, eager to grow on his automotive experience. Upon completing his undergraduate degree, Steven opened a telephone-based car finding service that connected potential buyers with vehicles available in the market. While this first business venture struggled, Stevens continued down an automotive path by repairing vehicles and reselling them for a small profit.
Stevens purchased the original Brandon Stevens Motors headquarters on West Street in Wichita in 1996. By the year 2000, the business would grow to four used car dealerships in the Wichita region. In 1997, Brandon and his brother Rodney formed Steven Enterprises, LLC, which would be comet the parent company for all of their future business ventures, including the Genesis Health Club franchise, which now operates over forty locations in the Wichita region.
