Why Budget Blinds of Battle Creek & Coldwater

Andrea Newton has been the successful owner of Budget Blinds of Battle Creek & Coldwater since 2017. Andrea was born and raised in Indiana, the same state where she and her husband, Dave, raised their two children, Lena (19) and Blake (18). Previously employed in the healthcare industry for 23 years, Andrea plans to move with her husband and their eight-year old German Shepherd rescue, Spartacus, to their lake house in Michigan after Blake’s high school graduation, where they will fully engage in their Budget Blinds franchise. She arrives in Michigan armed with a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing, a Master’s Degree in Wellness Management, and a burning love for the music of Ed Sheeran in her heart. Her creative and artistic passions coupled with her ability to connect with clients on a personal level make Andrea Newton the perfect owner of Budget Blinds of Battle Creek & Coldwater!
