Jack Laurie Group celebrates 75 years
By Sara Palmer northindy@youarecurrent.com
This year marks a major milestone for Jack Laurie Group. Founded in 1950 by a flooring installer with a vision, the company is celebrating its 75th anniversary, with commemorative events but also with gratitude and a forward-looking spirit.
ANNIVERSARY
The story began in 1948 when Jack Laurie, a young entrepreneur at 25, trained at Armstrong Flooring’s Installation School. Two years later, he launched Jack Laurie Floors out of a 250-square-foot garage in Fort Wayne. Initially focused on installing Armstrong vinyl asphalt tile, the company steadily grew, expanding to carpets, sheet vinyl and rubber flooring.
By the 1970s and ‘80s, the company had a loyal workforce and an increasingly strong reputation in the Fort Wayne commercial flooring market. Expansion continued into the ‘90s and early 2000s under the leadership of Jack’s son, John Laurie, who became president in 1995. Major milestones included a second location in Indianapolis in 1999, launching residential and specialty surfaces divisions and earning accolades such as the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award and the Indiana Growth 100 Award.
The company grew rapidly, acquiring multiple businesses, launching new service lines, including painting, epoxy and resinous flooring, and establishing training and apprenticeship programs. By 2024, Jack Laurie Group had nearly 450 employees and generated more than $75 million in annual revenue, with plans to reach $120 million and expand statewide.
“We’re all incredibly proud and thankful for reaching the 75-year milestone,” CEO John Laurie said. “There have been many keys to reaching this level of success, but if I had to pick just one, I would say the company’s dedication has been a driving force. Dedication to our employees, our customers and the communities we serve.”
The company that began with one man in Fort Wayne now completes more than 4,000 projects annually, with team members across Indiana. For Laurie, the company’s story is one of resilience.
“We have battled through 10 recessions,” he said. “We would pivot, implement changes, have difficult conversations and make tough decisions.
Our ‘stick-to-it-ness’ is what I’m most proud of.”
President and Chief Operating Officer Dave Foellinger echoed that sense of pride, especially in the company’s people.
“We’ve always been a company that delivers our service through people,” he said. “Beyond just being a commercial flooring company, we are a people development company.”
Foellinger watched the company grow from 40 employees to more than 400, with a culture grounded in core values — integrity, accountability, candor and teamwork.
“When you build a company with people who share these same values, and when those core values are non-negotiable, the quality and operational excellence flows through every part of the company’s daily operations,” Foellinger said.
That culture resonates with employees like Tyler Burns, business unit leader for Jack Laurie Group’s residential division.
“For me, the core values show up in the small, everyday things,” Burns said. “It’s people being honest about mistakes, stepping up to help without being asked and having real conversations — even when
they’re tough. There’s a sense of ownership and trust that comes from everyone holding themselves to a high standard.”
The company will mark its 75th anniversary with a series of events for employees, families, vendors and customers. It began with a rebranding initiative in January, including a new logo and a refreshed look that reflects the company’s forward momentum.
One of the most meaningful acknowledgments includes honoring the “original eight” — the first employees who worked directly for founder Jack Laurie.
“The big things are just celebrating to say thanks to our employees and our customers,” Foellinger said. “And telling the story of where we came from, what got us here and where we’re going.”
For both Laurie and Foellinger, the message at the heart of the anniversary is clear: Thank you.
“When you grow from 40 to hundreds, it’s no longer about John Laurie, it’s no longer about Dave Foellinger,” Foellinger said. “These other great people are running the company and making it happen. It was no one man’s vision. It was no technology breakthrough. It was all the people. And so ‘thank you’ is the only message.”

Group 1001 to host Porch Party in Zionsville
news@youarecurrent.com
Gainbridge will host a 500 Festival Porch Party at the Group 1001 headquarters, 10555 Group 1001 Way in Zionsville, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. May 6.
INDY 500
Porch Parties are an annual tradition to bring neighbors and race fans together in celebration of the Indianapolis 500. Residents are encouraged to gather their friends, family and neighbors for an evening of race-themed activities.
“Zionsville is the proud home of Group 1001 and Gainbridge, the title sponsor of the 109th Indianapolis 500,” Mayor John Stehr stated. “That makes this the best place around for the first month of May Porch Party in Boone County.”
Group 1001 is a financial and investing collective that includes Gainbridge, Delaware Life, Clear Spring Health, Clear Spring Property and Casualty Group, Clear Spring Life and RVI Group.
The Porch Party includes a limited num-
ber of free Parch Party kits, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Porch Parties give race fans the opportunity to demonstrate what “This is May” means to them by hosting racing-themed gatherings that pay homage to the Indianapolis 500 — including checkered flags and odes to Indy 500 traditions and Indianapolis Motor Speedway icons.
“Community is one of the many ways May is special,” IndyCar and IMS President J. Douglas Boles stated. “Throughout the city, our neighbors, partners and local organizations roll out the checkered carpet to welcome visitors and gather together to ensure the Indy 500 is truly ‘The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.’”
Residents can participate in Porch Parties by registering by 7 p.m. May 18 at ims. com/porching.
The best-decorated Porch Parties will be awarded with prize packs and visits from drivers and other special guests. The top three winning homes will be featured on the IMS website and social media channels.

1933 Lounge in Carmel features sophisticated, welcoming design
Compiled by Zach Ross
The new 1933 Lounge in Carmel features an interior design that blends sophistication with a welcoming atmosphere, according to Craig Huse, CEO and co-owner of parent company Huse Culinary. In a recent Q&A, Huse detailed the vision behind the space, the intentional layout and key design elements that aim to create a distinct yet inviting experience for patrons.
What was the overarching vision or design concept for the interior of the 1933 Lounge?
Our vision for the 1933 Lounge in Carmel was to blend timeless sophistication with the welcoming warmth of a neighborhood retreat. We wanted to create an environment that felt both elevated and approachable – a place where guests could relax with a handcrafted cocktail or enjoy a full dining experience in a setting rich in character and detail. Shea Design out of Minneapolis helped bring that vision to life through classic materials, thoughtful finishes and a layout that invites guests to settle in and stay awhile.
While you have two other locations with this restaurant concept, the Carmel location feels distinct. What feeling did you aim to evoke in customers through the interior design?
With Carmel, we wanted to lean into the building’s high ceilings and comfort with polish. As guests walk in, they’re met with natural light, layered textures and an immediate sense of intimacy. It’s refined but not intimidating –familiar but special. Each 1933 Lounge has its own personality, and in Carmel, the design evokes a sense of calm sophistication that fits both the community and the space itself.
Could you describe the layout and flow of the space? The different areas within the restaurant feel cohesive yet retain their character?
The layout was very intentional. We created distinct zones – the bar, a multiuse private event/ dining area, patio, and dining and cocktail lounge
Natural light fills the dining and cocktail lounge areas of the 1933 Lounge in Carmel. The design includes layered textures and intentional sightlines throughout the space. (Photos by Curious Courtney’s Photography)
The centerpiece of the bar at Carmel’s 1933 Lounge is a customdesigned light fixture created by Bloom Lighting Group of Montreal. The fixture, measuring over 12 feet in diameter and
was assembled on-site.
Peterson’s steakhouse focuses on quality Wild Eggs features new adult beverages
By Leila Kheiry
Joe Peterson didn’t have any restaurant experience when he founded Peterson’s steakhouse about 26 years ago. He said his wife questioned his sanity at the time, but the experiment has worked out well, with the Fishers restaurant maintaining its quality and popularity over the decades.
Peterson, who owns Crown Technology just across 96th Street from the restaurant, used to travel regularly for work, so he often ate in restaurants. That gave him the customer’s viewpoint of how the business should operate.
“My contention was to give people what they are looking for — good food, good service, good ambiance,” he said. “And treat them the way you want to be treated. Many times, I’d take customers out to be entertained and it was like (the restaurant was) doing me a big favor. People are spending $70, $80, $90 check average — you’ve got to have something half decent for them and make them feel like they got their money’s worth.”
Peterson said he recruited an experienced chef as a partner, and they hired a good sous chef and manager to help get the new venture off the ground. Peterson’s steakhouse opened in 1999 at 7690 E. 96th St. in Fishers, the site of a former Frisch’s Big Boy.
“We had our ups and downs, but never have we fallen on bad times, except COVID,” he said. “Everybody went through that. We won a lot of awards — the Wine Spectator awards — and people come here for wine dinners and really appreciate it.”
He said the secret to success is caring about customers, and if the restaurant gets something wrong, to make it right immediately.
“But we don’t have that many complaints. We get a lot of compliments and are kind of spoiled a little bit, but we would never take it for granted,” he said. “I always keep trying harder and harder.”
Peterson said he’s more interested in maintaining a good reputation than making money and has never been tempted to expand beyond the single restaurant bearing his name.
Peterson’s daughter, Carrie Benko, who oversees day-to-day operations at the restaurant along with her job as president of Crown Technology, noted that the restaurant’s staff is a big part of its success. They are well trained, and many have been there for a long time, providing quality, consistent service to customers.
Peterson’s is open for dinner six nights a week and, although certain favorites are always on the menu, the offerings change every spring and fall. Executive Chef David Foegley, who previously was an executive and corporate chef with Huse Culinary — owners of St. Elmo, Harry and Izzy’s and 1933 Lounge — has worked at Peterson’s for about nine years.
He makes a lot of steaks, of course, but Foegley said he also enjoys “tinkering” with the menu and focusing on Midwest regional ingredients.
“Duck in Indiana is one of the biggest things that is produced,” he said. “So, I’m doing a duck pot sticker with a ginger broth (and) I’m doing a grilled pork chops with a guava barbecue.”
Those items and more, including chicken and cornmeal waffles with hickory syrup and a “fire and ice” seafood tower, are featured on the new spring menu. For more, visit petersonsrestaurant.com.

The Wild Eggs restaurant in Carmel can now serve its specialty alcoholic drinks in addition to beer and wine.
Wild Eggs opened at 1438 Main St. with a two-way license in 2016 serving beer and wine.
Michelle Heffernan, vice president of marketing for Wild Eggs, said a couple of months ago the restaurant had the opportunity to acquire a three-way license for beer, wine and liquor.
“We have been hoping for the three-way liquor license for a long time,” Heffernan said.
Drinks include several different mimosas with sparkling wine and orange juice. Flavors include pomegranate, strawberry lemonade, orange pineapple and peach.
Wild Eggs also offers Wild Screwdrivers, a Bloody Mary called Proud Mary, Tequila Sunrise with orange juice and Bluegrass Sunrise with cranberry juice and Wild Eggs’ homemade lemonade.
There also are four varieties of Spirited Coffee — Iced Vanilla Latte with vanilla coffee liqueur; Chocolate Kiss with coffee liqueur; Nutty Irishman with hazelnut liqueur; and Choc of the Morning with vodka.
Wild Eggs in Carmel is open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Wild Eggs has seven restaurants in Indiana, including Carmel, Fishers, downtown Indianapolis, Avon and Greenwood.
Nationally, Wild Eggs has 17 restaurants, including 15 corporate owned. There is one franchisee with two locations in Lexington, Ky., that is working on opening a third location in July.

INNOVATION INSPIRATION
Purdue University robot named for Zionsville kindergartener
By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com
A Zionsville kindergartener is making her mark on the world of STEM.
Six-year-old Poppy Richardson, a student at Pleasant View Elementary in Zionsville, recently had a robot named in her honor at the Purdue University Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering in West Lafayette.
Poppy made a visit to the university with her mother, Amanda Richardson — a Boilermaker alumnus — to visit some old friends in the engineering department.
“Poppy has always had this fascination with robots and for her fifth birthday party she said ‘I want a robot birthday’ after taking a robot (toy) with her to school every day,” Richardson said. “My college roommate from freshman year was an academic advisor at Purdue and she said, ‘Poppy likes robots so much — would you like to come meet a real-life robot?’ Obviously, you don’t get the chance for that very often, but what a cool experience.”
The Richardsons visited Purdue University for an afternoon and met with the team from the industrial engineering department. That’s when Poppy’s infectious personality took over.
When they first entered the lab, Poppy spotted a robot called an Autonomous Mobile Manipulator and told the staff it reminded her of Rosie — the robot maid from the animated series “The Jetsons.”
“So, they started calling it Rosie,” Richardson said. “They renamed it Rosie because Poppy declared that should be its name.”
Poppy said she was instantly intrigued by the one-armed robot.
“I saw a giant robot named Rosie, and it was holding a model of herself,” Poppy said. “It moved down closer to my hand, and then it dropped it into my hand. It was so cool.”
The engineers also let Poppy “drive” one of the robots.
“They showed me all the buttons you had to push in order. And I was chasing mom,” she said.
But it was upon meeting the university’s LG Cloi tour guide robot that staff decided Poppy should have a robot named in her honor.
“They thought, ‘All right, we’re going to
name it Poppi,’” Richardson said.
The visit included a tour of the lab where Poppy got to interact with the robots and the 3D printers. She also got to tour the rest of the engineering school.
“It just kind of opened up this world besides just toys,” Richardson said. “When you have kids, you just always want to open their world to what could be. When we left, she said, ‘Can I live at Purdue? I want to live in the robotics lab!’”
So, why does Poppy love robots so much?
“Because they are cool and they can help you with chores,” she said. “Robots like C-3PO. In one of the (‘Star Wars’) mov-
ies, he helps Anakin’s mom. They help you do chores if you’re busy. And he’s dramatic.”
Poppy has even built her own robot from a science experiment kit her parents bought for her. The robot propelled forward when salt water was added. Although that robot no longer works, Poppy said it’s all a matter of trying to build something even better the next time around.
“That’s how you learn,” she said. “Something works and then it fails and then you fix it and make it better. That’s what I’m told.”
For Christmas last year, Poppy got a programmable Future X Rhythm Bot, a book
about weather and a tornado machine. She also loves robot-themed movies and building with Legos.
The programmable robot is one she takes nearly everywhere she goes.
“He plays music, and you can tell it what to do,” she said. “I can turn it on and then you turn the light on and then you can press all these buttons, it does all these tricks. And it can read you stories.”
Poppy’s family said their ultimate goal is to encourage her interest in STEM — something they hope can serve as an inspiration to other families.
“She’s always had a fascination with robots and beyond that, she’s always had really unique interests,” Richardson said. “When she was in preschool, she had a fascination with weather to the point where we would be at parent-teacher conferences and they would ask us, ‘What’s weather like at your house? All the kids’ parents are coming in talking about tsunamis.’ Because at 3, she would tell them all about it.”
Poppy said besides robotics, she also has an interest in becoming an actor when she grows up — but still relates it to her love of robots.
“I can be a robot in a robot movie. I can act out one,” she said.
Poppy said she’s worked with a robot in her STEM class at school. Her parents said if her interest continues, they hope she gets more involved in robotics during her time at ZCS.
“Poppi” is an LG Cloi tour guide robot at Purdue University’s Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering named after Zionsville kindergartener Poppy Richardson.
Poppi is a facility and destination guiding service robot. It works by
informing visitors with facility information upon request and can escort visitors to their desired location. Guidebots also can be programmed to play audio-visual commentary and provide screen and voice interaction in response to questions.
“They have a phenomenal robotics program (at Zionsville schools) it seems like they have a pretty substantial program,” Richardson said. “So, it would be really cool if she could get involved in that sort of way and see if this ends up being her life passion. We need more girls interested in STEM, and so if we can encourage it and open her eyes and get her excited about this sort of thing, that’s what we really want to do. We want her to follow her dreams, wherever that may lead. It’s just cool to plant little seeds early on (that) the world is big and you can do really good things.”

Feinstein’s concert to feature Songbook timeless classics
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Michael Feinstein is eager for his first collaboration with the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra.
Feinstein will perform “Celebrate the Songbook” with the ICO at 8 p.m. May 10 at the Payne and Mencias Palladium at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
“They are world class in their musical ability, so I’m certainly looking forward to making music with them,” Feinstein said. “I do enjoy collaborating with Indy-area groups because there is so much talent and it’s always educational for me to collaborate because I learn in the process. That’s one of the reasons I love the Songbook Academy because I learn so much from the students and it’s always, for me, about learning.
“The concert is one that I’m particularly excited about doing because this is the first time I will have really been able to mine the wonderful treasure trove of music in the Songbook archives and bring it to life locally. So, it’s going to be quite an exciting evening and there will be a lot of stories and anecdotes that put the songs in context, which I think will make it fun for everyone, even the people that might not know the classic music. And to hear the swing arrangements and the beautiful string writing is life changing. So many people listen to music in a canned form, they mainly listen on devices, and to hear the acoustic sound is pretty extraordinary.”
Feinstein said some of the featured songwriters include Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, Harry Warren, Irving Berlin and George Gershwin.
“(They are) all in beautiful symphonic arrangements, some of which are held in the Songbook archives,” Feinstein said. “Some of these arrangements were originally sung by Andy Williams and other popular singers. They are exquisitely craft-
ed by such legendary arrangers as Nelson Riddle, Johnny Mandel and others, so it’s a great joy to be able to revive them and bring them back to life.”
The ICO, in its 41st year, is led by music director and conductor Matthew Kraemer.
Feinstein has spent the past year paying tribute to Tony Bennett, who died at 96 in 2023.
“The Tony Bennett tribute is quite a rousing success on the road. I’ve performed it in so many cities, and the last Tony Bennett tribute shows will be (this month), and then I’ll move on to another project,” he said. “I think I’ve done this show about 75 times, and the interesting thing for me is that it never gets old. I think the enthusiasm of the audience for him and his songs makes it fresh for me.”
Since Feinstein’s last concert at the Center in April 2024, the venue has added a naming rights agreement for the Center and Palladium.

“As the Center’s artistic director, I am absolutely encouraged by the recent support in the naming rights for both the Center and the Palladium,” Feinstein said. “To have such support is perhaps rarer these days because the amount of philanthropy or philanthropic experience has changed with so many changes in our world. And yet we have such stalwart supporters and visionaries who understand how important the arts are and how they change lives with music, dance and all the other disciplines, and that is something that has always inspired me about being the artistic director at the Center, that there are so many people that are clear about what the arts bring to our lives. So, after all these years, being connected to the Center and the City of Carmel is still a tremendous blessing.”
The Allied Solutions Center will begin its 15th season this fall.

“I am most looking forward to playing Cinderella since she is such a tangible character and connects with so many different characters throughout the story,” Stephenson said. “Both roles are incredibly challenging, and working with the music to make my movements look both fluid and dynamic is very important and enjoyable to me.”

My Spanish role is challenging because it is a different dance style that I am not as familiar with but has been fun to learn.”
