Express Employment Professionals

Express Employment Professionals has been serving the Texarkana area for the past 30 years, by: providing staffing services, supporting local nonprofit organizations and focusing on community involvement. Franchise owner since 2007, Joey Martin lives the Express Pros vision: “To help as many people as possible find good jobs by helping as many businesses as possible find good people” –through both good and challenging economic times.

The Express Pros team of fourteen– led by owner Joey and LT Alum Elaine Chriestenson-Kelton–knows that a strong community and a strong economy go hand in hand. “A primary focus of the Express culture is community involvement,” Joey said. “Our team is always seeking new ways to be more involved in making Texarkana a great place to live and raise a family.” Currently, Express Pros partners with Harvest Texarkana, Randy Sams’ Outreach Shelter, the Texarkana Chamber of Commerce, and Kiwanis Club, among others. They hold an annual food drive that collects, on average, over 3,000 pounds of food for Harvest Texarkana per year. Their annual toy drive historically brings in over 500 gifts for local children in foster care. The company also regularly sponsors local athletic teams, as well as events put on by colleges, high schools and other businesses.

Through their support of LT’s weekly What’s to Love blast, Express Pros has been an invaluable partner with Leadership Texarkana in the important work of engaging others throughout the community to step up and also lead the way in our community. The passion Joey and his team demonstrate is derived from their rewarding work. “Every day, we have the opportunity to change lives,” Joey explained. “Not many people have the opportunity to have a career that helps so many people. We are extremely honored to be able to serve our community and our clients every day and hope to continue to do so for many years to come.”
