ON THE MOVE

If it can be sold, it can be franchised: This is an American business adage. An unusual innovation in the field is Kitchen Tune-Up, recently established at 207 E. 42nd St., Norfolk. A phone call will bring the KTU crew to your home for a ``one-day scrub attack'' on your kitchen cabinets and counters.

KTU's Scott and Jennifer Hellman also offer replacement hardware, custom cabinet building, custom counter tops and closet organization. Phone 625-5154 for a demo. Based in South Dakota, Kitchen Tune-Up Worldwide has 300 franchise areas in the country.

Home schooling: The popular ``Head for Home'' home-buyer education seminar is scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday at Chartway Federal Credit Union, 160 Newtown Road, Virginia Beach. The free classes for novice buyers, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., are sponsored by the Tidewater Mortgage Bankers Association and the Virginia Housing and Development Authority.

Topics include budgeting, choosing an agent, inspections and credit reports. Refreshments are provided. Phone 463-9516 for reservations. The next seminar will be Oct. 7 and 9.
