ISTO
RY Elite Concierge HistoryProviding a Better Workplace Environment Like many other business ventures, Elite Concierge got its start as a small idea.
As a young boy, Elite Concierge founder Jeremiah Bush would often hear his father, Joseph Lawrence Bush, Jr. talk about a business that would provide services that, if such a thing existed, would have added comfort and simplicity to their own multifamily living experience.
Joseph would invent various different services, entertaining the family with the ideas of a simpler life when harder times fell upon them.Ultimately, the responsibility of supporting a family of eight stopped Joseph from seeing his business come to fruition.
The idea, however, was not lost, as the seed had already been planted in young Jeremiah.
After graduating from Nicholls State University, he made the decision to gain practical experience and learn about the business world by studying to be, and ultimately becoming, an investment banker.
Ever the business man, Jeremiah never lost the idea for a service-based company.
As time went on, the vision for his business became clearer: he was going to create the best commercial office and multifamily housing amenity provider in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Elite Concierge became a reality in 2011, offering a menu of five unique amenities: doorstep trash collection, recycling, bulk furniture and appliance removal, gourmet coffee service and steam car washing.
Like many other business ventures, Elite Concierge
got its start as a small idea.

Alotto’s Specialty CoffeeElite Concierge’s On-Site Gourmet Coffee Carts
Alotto's Specialty Coffee was created with the goal of offering commercial & multifamily client properties with a high quality espresso bar that offered exceptional beverages and impeccable service.
Given that over half of American adults drink coffee on a daily basis, offering tenants the convenience of on-site
gourmet coffee is an ideal amenity to offer.The idea behind Alotto's Specialty Coffee has evolved, with clients also having a wide variety of teas, smoothies, and hot chocolate beverages to choose from.
Additionally, Alotto's has the option to provide your residents with light food and snacks as well.
I have measured out
my life with coffee spoons.

AUTODETAILING
Steam Auto DetailingElite Concierge’s Eco-Friendly Detailing ServiceSteam car washing is the process Elite Concierge utilizes to deep clean both the exterior and the interior of a residents car.
For decades, steam has been a critical component of the cleaning industry, due to its effectiveness and sterilizing power. Steam has evolved to many uses, one being applied to the car wash industry.
Elite Concierge’s steam cleaning car wash uses a steam jet to wash and clean the car's exterior and interior.
The steam jet is completely safe and can be used on all car surfaces, giving a perfect exterior finish without any spots or streaking. And when it comes to the interior, not only do they clean thoroughly, they also sanitize and deodorize too!
Varying Steam Detailing Options
Arguably the best feature of Elite Concierge’s steam auto detailing equipment is its eco-friendliness.
It takes very little water to wash a car with a steam cleaner, and it doesn't cause any waste water run-off either.
Residents will be astonished at just how effective steam is at cleaning a vehicle especially without the use of any chemicals.
Why choose Elite Concierge’s steam detailing?
• Consumes significantly less water
• Eliminate waste-water
• Removes dirt, stains and grease
• Deodorizes and sterilizes surfaces.
• Removes stains from upholstery in less time
• Cleans interiors, exteriors, engine compartments, door jams, floor mats, tire, trunks, upholstery, wheel wells, and hard to reach nooks and crannies
• Reduce the need for chemical cleansers
