Kumon Math and Reading Center of The Woodlands West is celebrating the location's 10-year anniversary in October, according to owners Birgit Hess and Luis Contreras. The location at 8000 McBeth Way, Ste. 155, The Woodlands, has served The Woodlands-area children since 2011.

The Woodlands West Kumon location is undergoing an expansion that will double the occupancy of the facility. According to the owners, the expansion is expected to be completed in December.

The owners said business at the Kumon location has grown in the last few years and during the pandemic. Kumon is expecting to accommodate more students as the 10-year anniversary arrives.

"[Kumon is] one of the few businesses that was impacted in a good way," Contreras said.

Contreras attributes the facility's success to his wife, Hess, stating that she deserves the credit for Kumon's accomplishment.
