We’re thrilled to welcome Jacqueline Millican & Thomas A. Fessel to the Project LeanNation family as our newest franchise partners, bringing our mission to West Chester, Ohio!
Jacqueline will serve as the face of the business—bringing not only her strong financial and operational expertise but also a deeply personal connection to PLN’s mission. A former collegiate swimmer, mother, and breast cancer survivor, Jacqueline’s health journey has given her a profound appreciation for the role nutrition and community can play in recovery, strength, and everyday wellness. For her, PLN isn’t just a business—
it’s a calling.
Standing alongside her is her father, Thomas, a seasoned restaurateur who owns two Skyline Chili locations in Cincinnati. With decades of hospitality and people management experience, Tom brings a legacy of leadership, service, and community building to this new chapter.
Their path to PLN feels like perfect timing—a trail of “breadcrumbs” leading them to the right concept, the right mission, and the right opportunity to build something that matters. Together, they’ll blend Jacqueline’s passion and vision with Tom’s operational wisdom to create a lasting impact in
West Chester.
We’re proud to partner with Jacqueline & Thomas as they carry forward a family legacy—this time, built on health, community, and purpose.
