City Lifestyle was launched in September 2009 with our first magazine, Leawood Lifestyle, serving single-family homes in the city of Leawood, Kan, an affluent Kansas City suburb. Keeping with our model, we launched our second publication, Johnson County Lifestyle, a year later. By mid-2011, we were producing four community-focused, monthly publications, serving nearly 60,000 homeowners in the most affluent suburbs of Kansas City. Our articles focus on the residents and businesses of the communities we serve. Our goal is that readers will "run into"​ someone they know in nearly every issue. Building on our success in the Kansas City market, we decided to license the rights to produce City Lifestyle magazines around the country. The first magazine outside the KC area launched in Tulsa, Okla. in January 2012, launching three more publications that year from Atlanta, Ga. to Scottsdale, Ariz. We now have publications from coast to coast and are always on the lookout to expand our reach, finding new area sales directors to launch magazines in communities across the country.
