Owner
Emily Church created Everything Kitchens online in 2002, and it’s grown to a roughly $20 million annual operation. The company sells kitchenware, such as countertop appliances, bakeware, cookware, barware and dinnerware. The 33 staff members moved from 1920 W. Woodland St. “It’s tailored to us, versus forcing a building to work for our needs,” Church said, noting natural lighting designs have boosted employee morale.

Glowgolf
Wichita, Kansas-based Glowgolf returned to the market after a three-year absence. It opened May 27 in Battlefield Mall, 2825 Glenstone Ave., Ste. R-14, filling 25,000 square feet vacated in February by MC Sports. The 36-hole miniature golf attraction is illuminated with black lights, and customers play with fluorescent-colored golf balls and putters said
John Wright, co-owner of the 35-course operation in 17 states. He and principal owner Reginald Boothe started the indoor golf business in 2001 after 20 years of owning and operating traditional golf courses in Wichita. Wright said Simon Property Group officials called him to fill the Battlefield Mall spot. “There are so many retail stores filing bankruptcy and big-box stores going out, like MC Sports,” he said. “That’s a prime example of where we are a good fit to fill a big space like that.” Glowgolf has a one-year lease and employs four people in Springfield. Admission for 54 holes of play is $10 for adults, $8 for children age 5-12 and $5 for children under 4 and seniors. The laser vault starts at $3.
Hours: 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon-6 p.m. Sunday
