Expansion also includes a glass division, which began in 1994 with a single van, and now operates a fleet of 12 vehicles

Elk River, Minn.—Minnesota’s KLSTAbra franchise marked its 30th anniversary in business last month, celebrating having grown from a single shop to multiple locations.

Founded in 1995 by Kedrick and Louann Johnson, along with their sons, Scot and Todd, the KLSTAbra franchise began with a single shop on Carson Avenue in Elk River. The business has since grown to five shops: Abra St. Cloud, Abra Cloquet, Abra Elk River, Abra Duluth, and Abra Princeton. 

“The key to our success is our people,” said Todd Johnson,  co-owner ofKLSTAbra. “From our technicians to our office staff, we have an incredible team that shows up every day committed to doing great work. They are the backbone of everything we do.” 

KLSTAbra’s expansion also includes a glass division, which began in 1994 with a single van and now operates a fleet of 12 vehicles, serving customers across Minnesota and western Wisconsin. In recent years, the division has expanded with new locations in Lake Elmo and Hermantown. 

“Reaching 30 years is an incredible achievement and KLSTAbra has done it with integrity, grit, and a true focus on people,” said Damien Reyna, Chief Operating Officer, US Collision. “Kedrick, Louann, Scot, and Todd exemplify what it means to lead a business with heart. They’ve built something truly special, and we’re proud to have them as part of the Abra family.”
