Card Campaign To Send Love To Senior Moms That Need It The Most.

PHOENIX, Ariz. — Assisted Living Locators, a nationwide senior placement and referral service, is launching “Mother’s Day Messages Of Love,” collecting cards to send love to senior moms that need it the most. Assisted Living Locators’ 140 franchise locations are distributing the cards to residents at assisted living and skilled nursing communities throughout the U.S.

“With visitor restrictions still in place at many assisted living communities due to the ongoing pandemic, mothers and grandmothers may not get the expression of love they deeply desire this Mother’s Day such as a hug, a kiss on the cheek, or a face-to-face talk,” said Angela Olea, Assisted Living Locators CEO RN. “Sending messages of love has never been more important, we ask the community’s help, from adults to young children, to participate in this card campaign and brighten a senior’s Mother’s Day.”

Participants can mail the cards to their local Assisted Living Locators office. To find out a local care advisor near you, call 1-877-226-7780 or enter your ZIP code on the website, www.assistedlivinglocators.com.

Follow these simple guidelines:

Please WASH YOUR HANDS before writing cards and do not seal envelopes.
On front of envelope: To Someone Special
To sign the card for children: Name and age or grade
To sign the card as an adult: Name and hometown
Include a Return Address on the envelope, if you wish, so seniors can write back.
Keep messages positive. (“You are being thought of today.” “Hope this card makes you feel special today.”)

“Mother’s Day is a time for connecting, with family, friends and the community at large,” said Olea. “This campaign will lift the spirits of the mothers and grandmothers we serve.”

Olea added that if you’re a caregiver of a senior that is struggling with loneliness at home, now is the time to consider transitioning to an assisted living community. “With COVID-19 vaccines here, assisted living communities are a safe way to combat the isolation and loneliness that result from sheltering in place during the pandemic,” she explained. “These communities offer seniors daily exercise, social activity, and a clean, safe environment.”

Fresh on the Heels of WOWorks Acquisition, Saladworks and Frutta Bowls Team Up with Combo Kitchen

Tatyana Stemkovski2021-04-20T10:24:45-04:00April 20th, 2021|Tags: fast-casual create-your-own salad franchise, food delivery services, made-to-order salads, Saladworks|

Ghost Kitchen Franchise to Offer Well-Recognized Brands in Latest Partnership.

WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. — In late December 2020, Saladworks‘ parent company WOWorks acquired Frutta Bowls to blend together their flavorful common cores and create expansion synergies in the process. A new endeavor marks a large step in this quest, as the joint brands have announced a partnership with Combo Kitchen, a franchise system that allows entrepreneurs to invest in a ghost kitchen and operate multiple food concepts listed in its network. Initially formed in October of 2020 before Frutta Bowls became part of the family, the partnership recently brought the first Combo Kitchen incorporating a Saladworks to Miami, FL on April 10. Last week, locations opened in New York City and Jersey City, New Jersey.

As a ghost kitchen company to utilize well-recognized restaurant brands as opposed to virtual brands, Combo Kitchen sought these two WOWorks restaurants because of their long-established, widely-known presences. Combo Kitchen has found while customers enjoy trying new brands, they’re more reluctant to order online without access to customer reviews, established social media pages or other forms of consumer feedback that virtual brands inherently lack. Saladworks and Frutta Bowls are well-recognized restaurants and industry leaders in their sector, and Combo Kitchen intends to help expand these brands even further.

This partnership allows Combo Kitchen franchisees to add Saladworks or Frutta Bowls into their restaurant and operate as a ghost kitchen. Operators benefit by generating additional revenue with the incorporation of a proven concept, while maintaining or even reducing their standard restaurant expenses. Combo Kitchen anticipates substantial growth nationwide with the WOWorks brands. In the first 60 days of the partnership, Combo Kitchen signed Saladworks for 14 initial locations. It foresees growing Saladworks and Frutta Bowls brands at a rate of 5-7 locations monthly throughout the remainder of 2021.

“What’s powerful about this partnership is its mutual benefit for all parties involved. Our unique ghost kitchen model calls for proven brands, which Saladworks and Frutta Bowls exemplify. Saladworks and Frutta Bowls can experience exponential growth while Combo Kitchen handles all franchise sales, royalty collections and other operational responsibilities,” said Combo Kitchen CEO Hossein Kasmai. “Restaurant operators boost their revenue with the incorporation of a recognized and established brand, while consumers can take advantage of new flavors being brought to their area. We continue to enjoy working with the Saladworks and Frutta Bowls team to redefine the norm for the restaurant industry.”

In the past year alone, Saladworks has grown by more than 40 restaurant locations, entering new markets such as Canada, California, Tennessee, Rhode Island, Ohio, Florida and Indiana. Roughly 80% of these openings mark non-traditional presences, i.e. ghost kitchens, food trucks, grocery retail, hospitals and universities, as the brand continues to flex its muscles as an industry disruptor. Frutta Bowls is a fast-casual trend-setter centering on a unique menu that is made fresh-to-order with no sweeteners, no juices and no fillers added.

About WOWorks

WOWorks was formed in 2020 with a mission to help guests pursue their passions and live their best lives by serving healthy, nutritious and flavorful fuel along with first-rate hospitality. Fully owned by Centre Lane Partners, LLC, WOWorks’ portfolio consists of: Saladworks, the nation’s leading fast-casual salad brand; Frutta Bowls, a unique restaurant franchise serving a variety of superfood bowls, fresh fruit smoothies, oatmeal bowls and more; Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh, a popular Mediterranean restaurant concept; and most recently, The Simple Greek, which offers a fresh and healthy take on ancient Greek recipes in a fast-casual setting. WOWorks seeks to drive explosive growth across all of its brands through a variety of channels, both traditional and non-traditional, including ghost kitchens, food trucks, grocery retail and more.

Ninja Nation Announces National Expansion Plans for 2021

Youth fitness concept drawing nationwide interest due to high demand.

DENVER — Ninja Nation, the Colorado-based youth fitness concept, is announcing its plans for national franchise expansion as the demand for their obstacle course business has continued to increase into 2021. Due to a continuous inflow of interest and nationwide popularity, the brand is actively seeking multi-unit, area development, and semi absentee franchise opportunities in top markets throughout the nation.

Ninja Nation is the leading provider of world-class obstacle course arenas across the country. Their fitness facilities provide both adults and kids the exciting opportunity to play, train, and compete in their world-class, state of the art facilities while developing skills, strength, and confidence. The brand has four locations open and operating in Colorado and Texas. Additionally, Ninja Nation’s fifth location will be opening in Huntersville, North Carolina this spring.

The brand maintained its success following the COVID lockdown of 2020 and is continuing to expand across the country. They are excited to offer something for everyone from the first-timer to the seasoned athlete, including open gym time, classes for children and adults, competitions, birthday parties, special events, and mobile operations.

The youth fitness concept’s goal is to create over 1 million heroes by their on-going mission to provide a fun, safe, and engaging space where everyone can find that “hero” within themselves. To accomplish this Ninja Nation focuses on their core values of engagement, encouragement, and energy in the facility at all times. Ninja Nation uses their world-class, state of the art obstacle course arena to teach kids by improving their physical health, along with focusing on the importance of moving their bodies and staying active. The brand prides itself on building a community within their facility by focusing on a culture of positivity, encouragement, goal setting, and building confidence.

“We are proud to offer kids this unique and engaging experience that provides them with both mental and physical confidence-building activities,” said Wayne Cavanaugh, Founder and CEO. “While our programs align with our mission of creating heroes and keeping kids active, it is also an exciting way to instill resilience into kids. We are thrilled to continue to create a positive impact in kids’ lives as we open locations across the country.”

After creating innovative programs in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ninja Nation found their expanded services could become permanent offerings; they notably found success in their summer programs, selling out their summer camp, Ninja Care, with over 1300 enrollments. The ultimate day camp was a great option for parents, providing a fun and safe space for kids to exert energy and build confidence after spending months cooped up in the house.

“Our goal is to keep building strong communities within our facilities and create more programs where the kids can move their bodies and families can stay active together,” added Cavanaugh. “With the country reopening, we are proud to provide them with an outlet to release pent-up energy and make memories that will last a lifetime.”

With a dedicated and knowledgeable supportive leadership team, Ninja Nation is searching for franchise partners who are looking to make a positive impact in their community and own a business that changes lives. Including a franchise fee of $49,500, the overall investment cost to open a Ninja Nation is between $742,000 and $1,200,000. For more information about Ninja Nation’s franchise opportunity, visit www.ninjanationfranchise.com.

Unity Rd. Launches Local Alliance Program to Keep Dispensary Ownership Local

Cannabis Industry Pioneer and Retail Franchise from Item 9 Labs Corp. Invites Existing Dispensary Owners to Join the Unity Rd. Franchise Network; Entrepreneurs Maintain Their Existing Business & License Ownership While Gaining Direct Access to Resources, Expertise, Ongoing Support, Reliable Supply Chain & More.

PHOENIX — Unity Rd., the cannabis dispensary franchise of Item 9 Labs Corp. (OTCQX: INLB), has rolled out its highly anticipated Local Alliance Program. Existing cannabis dispensary owners and dispensary license holders now have the opportunity to partner with Unity Rd. to gain direct access to the tools, expertise and ongoing support necessary to compliantly and successfully operate a dispensary – all while maintaining full ownership of their cannabis business and license.

Unity Rd. offers the safest route for cannabis entrepreneurs looking to claim their stake in the fast-growing, complex industry. Through the Local Alliance Program, existing owners with a dispensary in operation or dispensary license now have access to the buying power, resources and supportive network normally reserved for multi-unit operators. Additionally, the dispensary franchisor’s time-tested Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and veteran team guide franchise partners through every operational function of the business, whether it be assisting with cash flow, product selection or changing regulations.

“We’re keeping dispensary ownership local and thriving with the backing of a franchise system,” said Unity Rd.’s VP of Franchise Development Justin Livingston. “The Local Alliance Program allows us to help existing dispensary operators learn from the experiences and best practices we’ve developed throughout our collective 120 years in cannabis. We’re offering the supportive network and tools they need to reach new heights and achieve their business goals.”

Currently, the marijuana franchise has signed multiple agreements with more than 10 entrepreneurial groups across the country. Unity Rd. is initially seeking Local Alliance partners in Colorado and Oklahoma, among other existing new and mature U.S. cannabis markets.

“As part of the Unity Rd. network, our Local Alliance partners can operate their dispensaries more efficiently – resulting in more time to focus on growing the business rather than managing it,” added Livingston. “It’s all part of our overarching goal to inspire confidence in the benefits of cannabis for all. We truly believe franchising will be the vehicle to help drive the cannabis industry forward – all while arming entrepreneurs across the country with the tools they need to be successful so that ownership and revenues stay local.”

Unity Rd. franchise partners receive even more resources and supply chain connections as the brand was recently acquired by Item 9 Labs Corp., an award-winning cannabis operator. The combination of the Unity Rd. cannabis retail franchise and premium Item 9 Labs products makes Item 9 Labs Corp. one of the first vertically integrated cannabis franchise companies in the nation. Known for its impressive catalogue of products, Item 9 Labs currently offers 75 active cannabis strains and 150-plus differentiated cannabis vape products as well as premium concentrates. As Unity Rd. grows its franchise network, Item 9 Labs plans to develop or partner with cultivation facilities in states where Unity Rd. franchise partners open cannabis retail shops. This move will give Unity Rd. operators front-of-the-line access to a reliable product supply chain.

Despite economic challenges brought on by the pandemic, the demand for cannabis products surged to unprecedented levels with nearly every state experiencing record sales throughout 2020. The year ahead is poised to be big for cannabis law reform on both the state and federal levels – opening opportunities for the industry to explode, with projections to top $24 billion by year-end.

PHOENIX — Item 9 Labs Corp. (OTCQX: INLB) (“Item 9 Labs” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated cannabis dispensary franchisor and operator that produces premium products, today announced that CEO Andrew Bowden, Chief Strategy Officer Jeffrey Rassás and Chief Franchise Officer Mike Weinberger will present at the Sequire Cannabis Conference held on April 20, 2021. The virtual event brings together a select group of U.S. institutional investors with leading industry participants in the cannabis space.

–          TIME: 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time / 10:30 a.m. Pacific Time
–          Registration Link: https://cannabis-conference.mysequire.com/

The Item 9 Labs team will provide an overview of the Company, including its award-winning products and franchising capabilities, expansion of its cultivation site and other key initiatives. They will also speak in-depth on the value of the recently completed merger with ONE Cannabis Group (OCG Inc.) and its dispensary franchise brand Unity Rd., and how the combined offerings can accelerate the Company’s growth in the current favorable regulatory climate.

“With consistent, positive advancements in the cannabis industry, the U.S. market is poised for substantial growth,” Bowden said. “We believe our dispensary franchise concept coupled with our premium products positions us to benefit both financially and geographically.”

As the Unity Rd. franchise network expands, Item 9 Labs plans to develop or partner with cultivation facilities in states where Unity Rd. franchise partners open cannabis retail shops. This move will give Unity Rd. operators front-of-the-line access to a reliable product supply chain and eases barriers to entry for Item 9 Labs products in new markets, allowing for increased revenue in product licensing, wholesale, and franchise royalties.

Bowden added, “Franchising is the most viable method for dispensary brands to expand nationally because of greatly reduced capital expenditures, resulting in accelerated scale. Traditional multi-state operators need to fund all business development and expansion, while franchise brands can scale more rapidly at a lower cost because shops are locally owned and operated by their franchisees.”

Hello Garage Poised to Dominate Untapped $2B Garage Renovation Segment

Home Service Franchise `Opens Doors’ to Entrepreneurs who want to Redefine the Home Contractor Experience.

PAPILLION, Neb. — Most entrepreneurs see an open door in the marketplace and move quickly to fill the gap. For the founders of Hello Garage, it was closed doors – hundreds of thousands of garage doors closed in shame around the country – that inspired the launch of this innovative and growing garage renovation franchise.

Embarrassed of how their garages have turned into giant junk drawers, the vast majority of U.S. homeowners keep their garage doors closed to keep the mess, floor stains and disorganization hidden from neighbors or passersby. Sadly, 25 percent of homeowners with a garage aren’t even able to park their cars inside amidst all the clutter. Even more astounding is that while garage renovation is a $2 billion segment that’s growing by 5 percent a year, no major national franchise is leading the way.

Taking notice of the marketplace gap was Hello Garage’s parent company Supportworks – a family-run enterprise that has been helping foundation and concrete contractors across North America scale their businesses for more than 12 years. The company’s core mission is to elevate the home contractor experience for consumers through high standards of customer service, seamless technology and a “people first” philosophy that extends from its home office into the field. After proving the Hello Garage model successful with a corporate-owned location that renovated 159 garages and generated $689,000 revenue over 12 months, Supportworks decided to “open doors” for entrepreneurs with a franchise opportunity.

After launching the franchise opportunity in July 2020 in the throes of the pandemic, Hello Garage has already sold 53 territory units across 14 U.S. locations.

The garage renovation franchise turns garages into dream spaces with a 24-48-hour turnaround time, allowing homeowners to enjoy their new and improved space with minimal disruption. Another key differentiation point is their use of a high-end polyaspartic floor coating proven to outlast epoxy, as well as customizable storage systems and other garage organization accessories.

Above all is the brand’s mission to elevate the home contractor experience for consumers through professional service backed by a lifetime warranty. In addition, with their proprietary sales software GarageView™, customers are educated to understand exactly how Hello Garage can help them, what it takes to achieve their dream garage and exactly how much it will cost.

“We created Hello Garage to disrupt the industry by redefining it and becoming its undisputed leader,” said Dave Thrasher, president and co-founder of parent company Supportworks. “We will accomplish this through a continued focus on professionalism and top-notch customer service. We’ve already elevated the home contractor experience with our foundation and concrete dealers by providing them with proprietary consulting on every aspect of the business machine – from marketing and customer care to sales and production and more. Now, we’re adapting this proven model to the garage renovation space, and it’s already achieving similar success.”

Hello Garage is backed by 45 years’ experience of raising home contractor standards. In 1975, Greg Thrasher founded Thrasher Systems which would eventually help thousands of people with a customer-first approach to business. Thrasher Systems would go on to become the launching pad for Supportworks, which was born in 2008 to challenge the status quo. Supportworks designs and manufactures the highest quality foundation and concrete repair products in the industry, available exclusively to their dealer network in North America. Supportworks has achieved Certified Evergreen status from the Tugboat Institute, which involves a rigorous assessment and is awarded to only the most dedicated and purpose-driven companies who aim to continually improve and redefine success.

Hello Garage franchisees do not have to have home service or construction experience. An average cost of opening a Hello Garage franchise ranges from $114,000–$138,000. Franchisee sales are supported with help from the Supportworks National Appointment Center, which boasts a track record of converting 65% of leads to sales appointments.

“Even before the pandemic, many homeowners wanted to turn their garages into a more functional space to serve as a home gym, office, man cave, entertainment area or virtual learning space, and now the garage is becoming a necessary extension of the home,” Thrasher said. “As the demand for garage renovation has never been higher, we’re filling a market niche. With no brand at the forefront and our strong foundation, the future is bright for Hello Garage.”

ATC Healthcare Services Launches Times Square Pop-Up Vaccine Clinic Staffed by Laid-Off Broadway Workers

Medical Services Company to Vaccinate Broadway Workers in Attempt to Revitalize New York City’s Iconic Theater Industry.

NEW YORK — ATC Healthcare Services announced it has launched a pop-up vaccine clinic in Times Square, aimed at getting Broadway theater workers vaccinated in an attempt to revive the world-class theater industry that has been shuttered since the onset of the pandemic more than a year ago.

At full operating capacity, the pop-up clinic located at the intersection of 47^th St. and 7^th Ave. will deliver up to 1,500 vaccine doses per day over the coming months. ATC Healthcare Services has hired at least 80 laid-off Broadway workers in to staff the clinic in administrative support roles, while clinical staff administer the shots. The theater workers’ unions will push their members to the vaccine site as the industry eyes a speedy reopening.

“Being able to fill 100% of the non-clinical jobs at the Times Square site is something really special,” said Jordan Savitsky, president of ATC Healthcare’s vaccine division. “At ATC, our forte is top-tier medical services solutions – wrangling theater workers is a challenge we hadn’t encountered before. We met the challenge head-on, and the result is that we have some unbelievably talented people from the theater community working to get their peers vaccinated so we can all enjoy the magic of Broadway again.”

Susan Sampliner has been the company manager for Wicked since it first opened on Broadway in 2003. ATC Healthcare Services hired Sampliner as the pop-up clinic’s site manager – a job whose responsibilities and required skillsets overlap with the organizational and management skills needed to run a Broadway show day-in and day-out for 17 years.

ATC Healthcare Services has been a critical component of the healthcare continuum since the onset of COVID-19, providing testing services, ensuring hospitals are fully staffed by qualified and experienced nurses, and now, distributing vaccines.

ATC Healthcare Services, a national system with 45 franchisees operating today, provides healthcare staffing services to a variety of businesses including hospitals, outpatient centers, medical offices, schools, travel-based businesses and more. Backed by more than 30 years of proven results, ATC Healthcare Services brings businesses and medical professionals together to make the entire healthcare continuum run smoothly.
