Betting on Beloit Focuses on Hendricks Family’s Revitalization Efforts
Betting on Beloit chronicles billionaire entrepreneur Diane Hendricks and her driven, accomplished daughter Konya Hendricks Schuh’s mission to revitalize Beloit, Wisconsin.
Betting on Beloit follows Konya and her dynamic team – which includes her husband Matt (a plumbing contractor and former home builder), good friend and project manager Pete, and her realtor nephew Connor, as well as local artisans and designer friends Kristin and Mitch – as they purchase, restore and reimagine historic homes throughout Beloit’s storied neighborhoods.
With her mother financing this ambitious venture, the stakes are high for Konya and her team as they try to achieve their collective mission: to turn once-neglected properties into vibrant dream homes for individuals and families ready to plant new roots in Beloit. With grit, heart and a whole lot of Midwest spirit, they’re rebuilding their community, one home at a time.
Premiering Saturday, July 12, with back-to-back episodes at 12pm and 12:30pm CT on A&E, Betting on Beloit airs as part of the network’s lifestyle daytime programming block. Episodes will also be available the next day on A&E’s website and on-demand.
