2022-04-21T09:30:22-04:00April 21st, 2022|Tags: , , , |

HOUSTON — Award-winning, Texas-based fast casual brand Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen has signed a five-unit franchise deal in Qatar, fulfilling a key geographic goal in the franchisor’s international expansion strategy. In partnership with the new franchisee, Russo’s Founder and CEO, Chef Anthony Russo, will introduce Qataris to a trove of original family recipes from Naples and Sicily, utilizing fresh, seasonal ingredients, as well as premium, hand-tossed New York-style pizzas, including a giant, signature pie measuring 71 centimeters.

Authentic Italian dishes range from gourmet pastas to calzones, and the menu also features salads, deli sandwiches, soups and desserts. Standouts include homemade lasagna, baked ziti, truffle mushroom pasta and a selection of gluten free pasta and Halal pizza options.

Set to open as soon as November of 2022 – just in time for the country’s FIFA World Cup hosting debut – the inaugural restaurant will be located at the remarkable Doha Oasis mixed-use district. It will join an array of premier global food and beverage concepts in addition to a world-class hotel, theme park, department store and Vox Cinema, where Russo’s pizza options will also be spotlighted.

“We’re thrilled to grow our international footprint and showcase our elevated fast casual dining experience in Qatar, an incredibly exciting global market that I have become very fond of,” said Russo. “We are honored to have the support of our new Qatari franchisee. And opening just ahead of the World Cup is the perfect opportunity to grow brand awareness among an influential, global audience.”

Russo, the son of first-generation Italian immigrants who initially emigrated to New Jersey before settling in the Houston, Texas area, launched Russo’s in 1992 and has since expanded the brand in partnership with 27 franchisees. There are currently more than 50 locations across the United States, as well as eight restaurants situated throughout Dubai and Saudi Arabia.

He is continuing to seek out global franchise partners – specifically entrepreneurs interested in proven brands that are entirely chef created and chef driven. Several floorplan options provide flexible design and layout choices, spanning from pizza and delivery only to fast casual, full-service dining and full-service with coal oven and elevated interiors.

Le Macaron Secures Position As #1 French Patisserie and Authentic Macaron Franchise in The United States with New Locations in Albuquerque, Boston, and Grand Rapids

2022-04-20T16:36:23-04:00April 20th, 2022|Tags: , , , |

Rapidly Growing Franchise Has More Than Twice the Number of Locations as Any Competitors.

SARASOTA, Fla. — It’s been 13 years since Le Macaron French Pastries® opened its first location in Sarasota, Florida in 2009. The business reunited a family with co-founders Rosalie Guillem and her daughter and son-in-law Audrey and Didier Saba at the helm. Rosalie’s son, Gregory, opened the first franchise in Winter Park, Florida, and is now the company’s Director of Operations and Franchising. Since Le Macaron first began franchising in 2012, it has rapidly expanded with more than 63 locations, making it the #1 French Pastries and Macaron Franchise in the United States. Growth continues throughout the country with three new locations announced in these cities:

  • Grand Rapids, Michigan: Located downtown at 132 Monroe Center St. NW and operated by franchisees Bobbi Jo and William Blanton
  • Albuquerque, New Mexico: Located at 6241 Riverside Plaza and operated by franchisees Tami O’Brien and her daughter, Victoria Ruggles
  • Somerville, Massachusetts: Located at 411 Artisan Way Somerville and operated by franchisee Debbie Hilton-Creek.

“We are delighted to welcome these new franchisees to the Le Macaron family,” said Rosalie Guillem. “These are great locations with enthusiastic owners dedicated to their communities, so we know they will be successful.”

Le Macaron is leading the way with America’s steadily growing love affair with macarons. Although some industry experts predicted macarons would be a short-lived trend or a fad, a study by ventured.com reported that “The French macaron has had a 13 times increase in market penetration in the past 10 years.” Guillem is not surprised, as her simple marketing strategy of sampling and educating about macarons has won over thousands of loyal customers.

“We tell our customers we are a premium brand with authentic macarons prepared fresh daily by our staff of French pastry chefs in Sarasota,” she said. “We have more than 20 delicious flavors as well as seasonal flavors, and our macarons are handmade from scratch with raw ingredients. The quality is the biggest difference between our macarons and other brands, which are almost always frozen. Le Macaron offers freshly made macarons shipped daily to franchises on refrigerated trucks, so they are guaranteed to arrive bursting with flavor. Many customers say they are addicted after the first bite!”

Le Macaron delights customers with the ambience of a Parisian café, including colorful, sophisticated décor, traditional music, and a menu that boasts more than 20 flavors of macarons, pastries, gelato, coffee, chocolates, cakes, éclairs, European style beverages, and more. Macarons are also available in seasonal flavors to commemorate holidays and special occasions, and the company has a thriving catering and corporate gifting business as well.

“The macaron is the jewel of French pastries,” explained Rosalie Guillem. “At just 70-80 calories, our customers consider them treats and permissible indulgences. They come to celebrate occasions with family and friends, to buy gifts, or simply to relax and enjoy our welcoming atmosphere.”

According to Gregory Guillem, Director of Operations and Franchising, the expansion momentum will continue throughout 2022 with as many as 10 additional locations opening across the country.

“Currently we have 10 new franchises in various stages of development,” he explained. “Some have recently signed agreements, some are undergoing construction, and a few are slated to open later this summer. It’s a remarkably busy year for us, as more people are learning about the benefits and ease of starting their own Le Macaron franchise.”

Monster Tree Service Partners With Forestnation To Plant Trees For Arbor Day

2022-04-20T09:33:51-04:00April 20th, 2022|Tags: , , |

– Tree Care Company Launching #YouPlantWePlant Campaign in April to Grow Trees in Tanzania Forest –

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. — In honor of Earth Month and Arbor Day, leading full-service tree care company Monster Tree Service announced today a partnership with ForestNation to help reforest the planet and create sustainable development for communities in Tanzania. The #YouPlantWePlant campaign runs from April 19 to May 3. During that time, Monster Tree Service will be planting 100 Red Maple trees nationwide on behalf of its franchise locations. In return, ForestNation will plant 1,000 trees in the dedicated Monster Tree Service forest in Tanzania. 

To help Monster Tree Service reach its larger goal of 5,000 trees planted, the public is invited to join the cause by visiting the dedicated forest page to make a donation. Just 30 cents buys one tree planted in the Tanzania forest, and Monster Tree Service will plant another tree for each one donated up to 5,000.

“At Monster Tree Service, our teams of professional arborists and plant health care specialists are passionate about supporting trees and shrubs to reach optimal health and committed to providing premium services that benefit both our customers and the environment,” said Kathy Glassey, director of renewable services at Monster Tree Service. “This opportunity to encourage the nurturing of trees at an individual level and in the broader ecosystem of Tanzania is the best way to celebrate our planet and help make the world a healthier, more beautiful place together.”

ForestNation plants trees in the Eastern and Western Usambara Mountain Ranges, where heavy deforestation has ruined the livelihoods of many locals. With the help of the Monster Tree Service forest established during this campaign, sustainable development goals such as employment, economic growth and education will be reached. In fact, for every 100 mature fruit-bearing trees, there is $173 of estimated income and 10 tons of oxygen yielded per year.

“We believe that caring for and nurturing trees throughout their lives enables us to form beautiful connections between people and the world around them in a profound way,” said Andrew Frankland of ForestNation. “The professionals at Monster Tree Service are known for their holistic approach to tree care, and we are thrilled to partner with them in their mission to make the world a better place one yard – and one tree – at a time.”

Pet Supplies Plus Supports National Pet ID Week with Discounts and Free Deals for Pet Owners

2022-04-13T17:58:08-04:00April 13th, 2022|Tags: , , , , |

America’s Favorite Neighborhood Pet Store Offers Free Pet ID Tags Nationwide and Discounted Microchipping Services at Select Locations

LIVONIA, Mich.Pet Supplies Plus – the largest and most trusted pet retail franchise in the United States – has announced it will be celebrating this year’s National Pet ID Week from April 17 – 23 with discounts and free deals for pet owners. Neighbors will be offered discounted microchipping services at select locations and free name identification tags with the purchase of a dog or cat collar at all stores. During the promotion, pet owners have the opportunity to receive a $15 microchipping services voucher with any Pet Supplies Plus purchase – making it a fraction of the usual cost.

Throughout National Pet ID Week, select Pet Supplies Plus stores will partner with VIP Petcare, the national veterinary care platform of PetIQ, to offer microchipping vouchers to neighbors with any in-store purchase made April 17 – 23, 2022, while supplies last. Each voucher offers a $15 microchipping service through VIP Petcare and is valid through June 6th, 2022.

In addition, all Pet Supplies Plus locations will offer a free pet ID tag (up to a $10.98 value) with an in-store purchase of any cat or dog collar purchased during National Pet ID Week. To find the nearest Pet Supplies Plus store, neighbors are encouraged to visit www.petsuppliesplus.com/Store. For locations that specifically offer microchipping services and the discounted vouchers, search for locations with VIP Petcare clinics.

The American Humane Association reports that one out of three pets become lost at some point in their lifetime. It is crucial for pet owners to understand their best opportunity to have a pet return home safely is by ensuring they’re microchipped and have an identification tag. Pet Supplies Plus has partnered with VIP Petcare to make this essential procedure more affordable and accessible.

  • Over 9 million companion animals are admitted to shelters in the U.S. every year, and many of these are euthanized because their owners cannot be found.
  • Microchipped pets are 2.5 times more likely to be returned to their owners.
  • Dogs without microchips are returned to their owners about 22% of the time, but microchipped dogs are returned over 50% of the time.

“We view each pet and family in communities across the nation as an extension of our company’s family which is why offering this service is so important to us,” said Chris Rowland, Chief Executive Officer of Pet Supplies Plus. “We are proud to play a role in ensuring each pet can return home safely if lost and hope this program provides greater awareness about microchipping and pet ID tag services to current and future neighbors.”

Pet Supplies Plus offers a wide array of natural pet foods and a variety of made-in-the-USA pet consumables, including food, treats, rawhide and chews. Set in welcoming neighborhood environments, Pet Supplies Plus team members get to know their neighbors and pets by name at every store.

It’s changing the entire concept of business ownership in the franchise world.”

Send Me A Trainer is also currently expanding internationally through Master Franchise partnerships. Master Franchisees award and oversee Send Me A Trainer franchises in their country.
