Jon Geenen

Jon graduated from Calvin College with a Bachelor of Arts in Business and a minor in Economics. While attending Calvin, he spent two years as a general manager at Subway, gaining hands-on experience in operations and leadership. After graduation, he traveled to Milford, Connecticut to earn his Subway franchise license and became a franchise owner in 2010.

Over the following years, Jon successfully operated multiple Subway locations and expanded his portfolio by becoming a Biggby Coffee franchisee in 2013. His passion for site selection and business development led him to transition from ownership to helping others pursue new business opportunities.

In 2018, Jon joined Colliers International | West Michigan, bringing his retail expertise to the commercial real estate sector. As an associate on the retail team, he spent three years advising national and regional clients. In 2021, he joined DAR Commercial, where he continues to serve his clients with a focus on retail real estate.

Outside of work, Jon enjoys spending time with his wife and children. He is an avid reader and loves sharing books from his personal library with friends and family. His other interests include pulling his kids tubing, running, slalom skiing, and snow skiing.
