Better Business Bureau expands its reach with the addition of Kansas City market

Omaha, Nebraska – The Better Business Bureau (BBB), based in Omaha, announced the inclusion of the Kansas City market into its service area, making it the fourth largest bureau in North America.

BBB President & CEO Jim Hegarty expressed his enthusiasm over this growth, stating, “This is a historic moment for our organization and we are incredibly proud to meet it with the service-first mindset that we’ve relied upon for decades.” The confidence is palpable, with Hegarty affirming that the new inclusion will further bolster the rapport businesses and consumers share with BBB. A testament to the organization’s commitment and vision, the successful consolidation speaks volumes about the cohesive effort of both organizations’ boards.

Post this integration, BBB Midwest Plains is poised to cater to an impressive tally of nearly 12,000 Accredited Businesses, not to mention the millions of consumers sprawled across a five-state territory.
