Grasons Opens New Galveston Location Serving Coastal Texas Communities

May 05, 2026 // Franchising.com // Texas – Grasons announced today the opening of its newest location, Grasons of Galveston, TX. The new franchise will serve Galveston to South Houston and surrounding communities, providing professional estate sale and business liquidation services to families and businesses navigating major life transitions.

The Galveston location is owned and operated by Kristen Carlson, an experienced franchise owner and business leader with nearly two decades of experience in the senior care industry. Carlson has owned and operated a Right at Home franchise in the Galveston area for the past 19 years, bringing extensive expertise in client relations and supporting families through complex life transitions. Prior to her entrepreneurial career, she served as an administrator at the University of Texas Medical Branch and the Center of Reproductive Medicine. She holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology and an MBA from the University of Houston Clear Lake.

“Grasons has an amazing reputation in estate sales and business liquidations, and the brand’s family-like culture and customer focus immediately resonated with me,” said Carlson. “Life transitions can be overwhelming for families, and I’m honored to provide a service that helps reduce stress while delivering transparency and care throughout the process.”

While this marks Carlson’s first venture into estate sales, her background in home care has provided a strong foundation in supporting families during critical moments. She noted that Grasons’ comprehensive training and robust support system across marketing, coaching and operations were key factors in her decision to join the brand.

“Kristen brings a unique combination of entrepreneurial experience, compassion and operational excellence to the Grasons network,” said Brandon Ciaccio, Brand President of Grasons. “Her deep understanding of serving families, along with her commitment to professionalism and organization, will make a meaningful impact in the Galveston and South Houston communities.”
