Target campus identified · Panola Road · in diligence

Maison Saren is the store everything is building toward.

Maison Saren (pronounced “meh-ZOHN”, French for “house”) is the Saren Studios division’s consumer storefront. The first physical SAREN boutique is planned for a DeKalb County campus site — the corridor diligence that began along Candler Road has identified its target: the Panola Road campus in Lithonia, now in diligence — the parcel is not owned and no site control is claimed. The approximately 2,200-square-foot retail block is designed around one explicit dual-revenue model:

By day · SAREN SAVORBedroom Kandi + Kandi Koated boutique retail, café and market, including the Guyanese pepperpot spice blend.
By night · SAREN NOIR “The Mending Room”SKND LOUNGE, operated by SKND — SAREN’s hospitality and events division — offering venue rentals, private events, wellness education, cultural programming and luxury social events.
≈ 2,200 sq ftPlanned retail block within the target campus: a 4.70-acre corner parcel on Panola Road in Lithonia, DeKalb County — in diligence, not owned.
Permanent guardrailNo clinical services in the Maison Saren footprint—ever.

Maison Saren turns today’s consultancy, book, beauty and wellness-product sales into a permanent customer experience—then uses that storefront to drive the broader SAREN brand family. Research programs and future clinical care remain in their own separate structures.

Sandy Lewars, MSc, founder of SAREN

Founder Story — Why SAREN Exists

SAREN is a name built from two names — SA for Sandy Lewars, MSc, and REN drawn from her late mother’s name, carried on in her initials, KMB. Everything about this enterprise begins with her.

Her mother’s life and legacy are the root of Sandy Lewars, MSc’s road to medicine. Sandy Lewars, MSc’s specialty vision is trauma surgery, all the way to her own surgical suite, so that families facing their hardest moments find the care and support hers needed. She is building this to make her mama proud.

Sandy Lewars, MSc is building SAREN from the ground up — a journey from public assistance to enterprise. She is a SNAP recipient, a mother, and a woman who has navigated housing instability. She is 100% Guyanese, Guyanese to the bone, and that heritage pride runs through every division she is building. And she is designing every division from lived experience: the housing she needed, the wellness she could not access, the community infrastructure her neighborhood lacked. This is not an outside investment thesis. It is a from-the-ground-up build by someone who has lived the need.

Sandy Lewars, MSc is actively preparing for the MCAT as part of her path to medical school and trauma surgery. That preparation sits alongside building SAREN and homeschooling her son. Being a mom is her favorite version of herself. Her family comes first, always.

Her drive is relentless and deeply personal: “I’m doing a lot and I’m not sleeping. This must be fruitful.” For Sandy Lewars, MSc, the work is not motion for its own sake; every course, research step, revenue lane and institution-building decision must move her family and community toward a more secure future.

The mission has two pillars. The first is supportive housing for survivors, honored in the planned KMB Residence, named for her mother. The second is mental health, carried by the SarenMind pillar within the planned SAREN Cares structure. Both are built into the plan itself — a permanent commitment to the community SAREN serves.

Her dedications are locked: KMB, her son, her husband of sixteen years, and her aunt. This is a family-built enterprise with a community-scale ambition — and it will not forget the people it is for.

Funding alignment

Every proposal stays inside the funder’s scope.

SAREN presents each initiative on its own merits, with the budget, outcomes and language matched to the specific grant, lender or investment mandate. Restricted funding is never treated as general support for the full brand portfolio.

Institutional & impact funding

Eligible health and community initiatives

Proposals may focus on clinic operations, research development, community health, supportive housing, digital-health infrastructure or mobility access when those activities fit the funder’s published eligibility rules. Each request will define the eligible use of funds and the measurable program outcome.

Commercial consumer line

Separately positioned and funded

SAREN’s personal-wellness education, publishing and wellness-product retail activities are commercial consumer offerings. They are presented through their own channels and included in funding requests only when the opportunity’s published scope supports those activities.

The standard: clear scope, separate budgets and no blurred claims about what a funding partner supports.

Toujours SAREN

Toujours — French for “always.” Toujours SAREN is the personal care line of the house: body and bath care made to stay with the woman in her rebuilding season, to be offered at Maison Saren when the boutique opens.

The target campus · Panola Road

The Target Build: Panola Road

SAREN’s site search began with corridor diligence across DeKalb County — including the Candler Road corridor — and that diligence has a destination: 3177 Panola Road in Lithonia (City of Stonecrest), a 4.70-acre corner parcel with direct frontage. The parcel is in diligence and site selection. SAREN does not own it, and no site control is claimed.

Aerial concept rendering of the planned SAREN campus on Panola Road in Lithonia: SAREN Studios with SAVOR by day and SAREN NOIR “The Mending Room” by night, SKND LOUNGE and the Dance & Body Movement studio; SAREN Privé clinical and wellness buildings; the Telehealth Hub and Blood Donor Center; the SAREN RELAIS Transit court; the 24-unit KMB Residence; and the private two-story Founder’s Residence on its own tree-screened corner
Concept rendering · not yet built. The full campus as planned for the Panola Road target parcel. This is a planning visualization of a site in diligence — nothing shown is owned, built or under construction, and final design remains subject to verification, entitlements, financing and professional design.

One corner parcel, the whole vision: housing, storefront, care and movement held on a single campus — with the clinical building kept separate from the nightlife footprint, exactly as the guardrails require.

SAREN RELAISTransit court and fleet, campus logistics and the Mobile Health Unit. Planned contract lines include medical courier and specimen transport for laboratories, hospitals and medical offices; biohazard and medical-waste pickup and transport handled through licensed disposal partners; and specimen collection services — DNA testing collection, fingerprinting and buccal swab collection — on campus and mobile via the Mobile Health Unit. Planned operations only; no service is operating today.
Telehealth Hub & Blood Donor CenterA dedicated pad for planned virtual-care access and blood donation, sited apart from both the residence and the lounge.
The Founder’s ResidenceA private two-story home on its own tree-screened corner of the parcel — the founder’s family home, held apart from every program space and planned to remain in the founder’s family as a trust asset.

How the build-out is planned to unfold

Step 1Diligence & verification

Confirm what the parcel actually is — acreage and survey, zoning allowances, the City of Stonecrest housing path, utilities and access — before anything is promised.

Step 2Entitlements

City of Stonecrest approvals for the campus uses, including any rezoning or special-use path the residence and clinical building require.

Step 3Land development

Site work in sequence: grading, utilities, drives, the transit court and building pads, prepared phase by phase.

Step 4Phased construction

SAREN Studios first, then the KMB Residence, SAREN Privé and the SAREN RELAIS — each phase financed and permitted on its own.

This is the plan, not a construction schedule. No phase is underway; each begins only when diligence, funding, entitlements and entity formation allow.

Anglo-Caribbean food line · planned launch

SAREN SAVOR begins with Guyanese pepperpot.

Grounded in Sandy Lewars, MSc’s Guyanese heritage, SAREN SAVOR’s first packaged-food anchor is a Guyanese pepperpot spice blend. The launch path starts at local farmers markets, building product proof and community recognition before the blend moves into the future Maison Saren market section (Saren Studios).

The food line brings the SAREN story to the table: Guyanese flavor, Anglo-Caribbean influence and a product that can travel from market stall to permanent shelf.

SAREN NOIR exists to mend the night in gold.

Every guest is received with care, every detail handled with intention, and every evening made more radiant for its imperfections.

Vision

A nightlife where no one has to be polished to belong — where long weeks and worn spirits are mended, gilded, and sent home more whole.

Brand promise

Mended in gold.

Values

Repair —
we leave everything better than we found it: the drink, the room, the evening, the guest.
Care —
true hospitality; guests are seen, never just served.
Craft —

Belonging —

  • Intended virtual programs — virtual primary and urgent care, medical weight management, hormone therapy and women’s health, hair loss, longevity and wellness, mental and behavioral health, and dermatology.
  • Intended in-person roadmap — post-operative recovery and lymphatic drainage, IV hydration, lab panels, body remodeling and injectables.

Every intended program remains gated on Georgia licensure, counsel review and a physician medical director. SAREN Privé is conducting a genuine medical-director search: a Georgia-licensed physician will hold all clinical authority, and clinical protocols will be built with that director before any service is considered.

$2,500 fixed fee · one selected workflow.

Education & consumer retail

The Anatomy of Allure: A Seduction Playbook

A clinical-grade personal-wellness playbook built around self-knowledge, communication, confidence and whole-person care. The current edition includes the book’s original promise on its own branded page directly after the contents.

  • The Promise — signature and date lines, with guidance to tear it out, sign it, frame it or keep it visible.
  • Interactive edition — shoppable wellness-product pairings connect the e-book to Sandy Lewars, MSc’s Renée Marcelle Bedroom Kandi consultancy and Kandi Koated beauty line.
  • Physical finish — the hardcover brief calls for a tactile title and amethyst-diamond emblem through embossing, debossing or raised foil rather than a flat print-on-demand cover.

This supersedes the earlier campus concept plan. The parcel is in diligence and site selection only — SAREN does not own it, no site control is claimed, and none of this is built or operating.

Concept rendering · future-only.SAREN Privé is planned as one building with two separate sides: clinical and wellness. The wellness center is a buildout within SAREN Privé, not a standalone division or facility. Each side would meet the compliance requirements applicable to its services. CareValidate is the selected platform vendor in SAREN Privé’s planning documents — selected in planning only, not contracted or live, with no services offered or bookable. All intended programs remain gated on Georgia licensure, counsel review and a physician medical director holding clinical authority.

SAREN master seal — two gold-line profiles joined by an amethyst diamond, mended in gold

SAREN intends to form SAREN Cares as a separate nonprofit serving survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking, and mental health. Named for founder Sandy Lewars, MSc’s late mother, KMB, it will include the planned 24-unit KMB Residence and SarenMind mental-health pillar. The nonprofit is not yet formed. The residence is envisioned within the integrated campus planned for the target Panola Road parcel in Lithonia, DeKalb County — a site in diligence, not owned; the existing 8-unit layout is a repeatable design concept, not the full project size.

Home & belongingSupportive housing designed around stability and dignity.
A living memorialHer full name carried through the residence and its defining details.
Planned resident business centerA future on-site computer lab and workspace for job applications, résumé preparation and training.
Planned community gardenFuture individual resident plots for growing food, with support pathways to pursue through SNAP-eligible seeds and plants, UGA Cooperative Extension seed libraries and garden grants, subject to eligibility and availability.
Intergenerational trust assetThe Founder’s Residence is planned to remain in the founder’s family as a trust asset, preserving the family legacy across generations.

SAREN Cares is not yet formed — but the formation work can be backed today. The Formation Fund on Ko-fi gathers community support toward forming SAREN and SAREN Cares. Support is not a tax-deductible charitable gift until the nonprofit is formed.
