Unity Rd. Opens First Medical Cannabis Establishment in South Dakota

Tatyana Stemkovski2022-07-26T09:31:45-04:00July 26th, 2022|Tags: cutting-edge franchise model, decade of proven cannabis operation, emerging industry, franchise innovation, Item 9 Labs Corp., producer and retailer of cannabis, Unity Rd.|

– Local Go-To Cannabis Shop Serving Patient Card Holders of Hartford and Beyond.

– Local Owners, B.J. Olson and Adam Jorgensen Focused on Educating Community About Cannabis.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Unity Rd., the national cannabis dispensary franchise from Item 9 Labs Corp. (OTCQX: INLB), is opening South Dakota’s first medical cannabis establishment on Wednesday, July 27 with local entrepreneurs, B.J. Olson and Adam Jorgensen. The new shop is located in the Sioux Falls suburb of Hartford at 404 West Opal Lane.

South Dakota natives and best buds, Jorgensen and Olson bring a combined 40-plus years of experience in wireless technology, retail and business entrepreneurship. After witnessing the power of medical cannabis, the duo wanted to share this with those in need in the local community by opening their own medical cannabis establishment with Unity Rd.

“Adam and I have dreamed of having our own business together for a very long time. We are true believers in the benefits of cannabis and knew this was always the path for us,” said Olson. “We were very intentional in seeking out our partnership with Unity Rd. Even with our combined retail backgrounds, we knew we would need additional support and resources to navigate the complexities of the industry. Unity Rd. has been instrumental to our success in opening a medical cannabis establishment in South Dakota and we know they have our best interest at heart.”

Unity Rd. is a collective of locally owned and operated cannabis shops with the mission to inspire confidence in the benefits of cannabis for all, while keeping the door to dispensary ownership open to everyday entrepreneurs.

From offering a curated cannabis experience that is focused on local patients to hiring local talent, the Hartford shop is engrained in its community and allows for a culture unique to the neighborhood to shine through. Patients can expect the highest quality medical cannabis products available, continuously evolving as the emerging market grows. The shop’s approachable and welcoming team members have gone through a robust training program and will be consistently staying up to date on the latest industry trends and product knowledge. Focused on serving a consistent experience with an enlightening, education-first approach, the Hartford shop supports all patients who walk through their doors.

“Being born and raised here, we see ourselves as a true community partner,” said Jorgensen. “We are proud that the process of building our establishment from the ground up was through local Sioux Falls or South Dakota businesses, and nearly half of our team are Hartford residents themselves. B.J. and I are dedicated to educating patient card holders on our medical cannabis products as well as becoming even more involved in our community.”

South Dakota legalized medical cannabis in July 2021 by a ballot initiative in November 2020. Since the local reform, the state has seen positive activity related to cannabis. State residents began applying for medical cannabis patient cards on January 1, 2022, and currently have more than 1,700 approved applications in the South Dakota Medical Cannabis Program. As of July 25, 2022, The Department of Health (DOH) reports that more than 130 South Dakota physicians have been approved to recommend medical cannabis to their patients.

“Opening the first dispensary in my home state is an impressive feat that I’m proud our team and local entrepreneurs have been able to achieve,” added Andrew Bowden, CEO of Item 9 Labs Corp. and former Sioux Falls resident.

“We strive to expand our national community of Unity Rd. shops with owners who are engrained in their communities, and are honored to partner with exceptional entrepreneurs like B.J. and Adam on this milestone opening of the first medical cannabis establishment in South Dakota as well as the first Unity Rd. shop in the state,” shared Mike Weinberger, chief franchise officer of Unity Rd.

Unity Rd. Hartford will be open special hours the first few weeks: Wednesday-Saturday from noon to 8 p.m., Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. and closed on Monday and Tuesday. To learn more about the local go-to cannabis shop, call 605-88-UNITY or visit https://www.unityrd.com/locations/sd/hartford/1404wopallane.

Celebree School Joins Amazon HQ2 in Arlington, Virginia

Early Childhood Education Franchise Revs Up Strategic Development, Set to Open at Metropolitan Park.

LUTHERVILLE, Md. — Celebree School, a leader in early childhood education will join an impressive roster of retail partners at Metropolitan Park for Amazon’s second headquarters in Arlington, Virginia.

Celebree School of National Landing is slated to open Spring 2023 and will provide infant and toddler care, and preschool programs. The customized programs will address the physical, social, emotional, and academic needs of children while adhering to Virginia’s early education standards.

Over the past eight months, Amazon has announced several local small businesses that will open their doors next year at HQ2, including Conte’s Bike Shop, District Dogs, HUSTLE, RAKO Coffee, Social Burger, and South Block. As development continues, Amazon now adds to this impressive roster with the addition of Celebree School of National Landing, Good Company Doughnuts & Cafe, Glo30, and Peruvian Brothers – all set to help enrich the growing community.

Amazon hopes that as it continues to bring more small businesses to the area, HQ2 can be a destination for all the important areas of life, whether that be work, play, family time, or any of the moments in between.

Owners of Celebree School National Landing, Kate and Brian Mulcahy, are eager to open this location, marking their second Celebree School. Together, the husband-wife team opened their first Celebree School in Tysons Corner, VA in September 2021. Not even one year later, their classrooms are almost full, and they are changing the lives of families in the community.

“We strive every day to make parents and students feel as comfortable as possible, as well as provide an unparalleled experience for our teachers,” said Mulcahy. “Partnering with Amazon will allow us to reach a larger subset of the region and provide more quality early childhood education to more families.”

“The spotlight that Amazon’s presence puts on the community is so valuable, and the new residents it will attract will strengthen the fibers of the community,” added Mulcahy. “Amazon’s commitment to excellence and service mirrors our own values, making it an even more exciting venture.”

Celebree School lives by its promise to Grow People Big and Small™, and was founded on the belief that success in early childhood development is equal parts curriculum and a connection that extends beyond the classroom to address the needs of the whole child and the whole family. Each Celebree School is a village made up of parents, children, and educators while providing curriculum-based care that prepares your child for kindergarten and beyond.

With a 25-plus-year history of providing superior early childhood education, Celebree School delivers a stable, secure learning environment that helps children develop a lifelong love of learning. Programs at Celebree School of National Landing will be available for children six weeks to preschool age with unique curriculums designed to develop positive social skills and values while allowing children to learn about their world through age-appropriate play, projects, and activities. Care is available part time or full time and parents are allowed to drop in and visit at any time.

“We’re honored to continue to help brilliant entrepreneurs like the Mulcahys actualize their business goals,” said Richard Huffman, Founder and CEO of Celebree School. “As we continue to expand our brand’s footprint through franchising, it’s more important than ever that we partner with local community leaders who have a passion for early childhood education. Bringing Celebree School to Amazon HQ2 gives me immense pride and joy as we continue to drive our mission forward.”

Celebree School began franchising in 2019 and now has 26 corporate locations, seven franchise locations, and more than 70 franchise licenses in various stages development. With strategic expansion underway, the brand has set an aggressive development goal of opening 100 new schools by 2025. When franchisees invest with Celebree School, they’re investing in an organization with a strong culture, solid systems, and a proven business model backed with 25-plus years of experience in providing exceptional early childhood education.

Independent research identified the National Automotive Styling Centers™ franchise as one of the top 100 franchise brands with the best culture based on surveys of over 30,000 franchise owners.

BOCA RATON, Fla. — July 14, 2022 — Tint World® Automotive Styling Centers™, a leading auto accessory and window tinting franchise, was recently named to Franchise Business Review‘s third annual Culture100 list recognizing the top 100 franchise bands.

Tint World® offers sales and installation of auto accessories, mobile electronics, audio video equipment, security systems, custom wheels and tire packages, window tinting, vehicle wraps, paint protection films, detailing services, nano ceramic coatings, maintenance and repair services, and more. Tint World® is also the leading provider of residential, commercial and marine computerized window tinting and security film services with locations throughout the U.S. and abroad, with franchise opportunities available worldwide.

“Tint World® has worked incredibly hard to build a strong company culture that supports franchisee success,” said Charles J. Bonfiglio, president and CEO of Tint World®. “We especially value recognition such as the Culture100 list, which is based entirely on the satisfaction and experience of our franchisees around the United States and the world.”

Franchise Business Review, a franchise market research firm that performs independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only rankings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. Franchise Business Review publishes its rankings of top franchises in its annual Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as in special interest reports throughout the year that identify the top franchises in specific sectors.

Tint World® was among more than 300 franchise brands, representing more than 30,000 franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research on the best franchise cultures. Franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems. The brands that were selected received the highest overall ratings based on 12 questions that looked at perception of brand vision, team culture, honesty and integrity, and overall support.

“Every franchise organization has a different culture and vibe,” said Michelle Rowan, president and COO of Franchise Business Review. “Some franchises are more serious and formal, while others are more relaxed and casual. A franchise company’s culture — and your potential fit into that culture — should guide your franchise investment decision. Looking at data on how current franchisees rate a brand’s culture will tell you how well the franchise leadership team is executing on the vision of the brand, and how well the community of support staff and franchisees work together to achieve their business objectives. The best place to start is with the brands on this year’s Culture100 list. All of them had an FBR Culture Score of 80-plus on a 100-point satisfaction scale, putting them in the top quartile of franchises when it comes to culture.”

Sport Clips Haircuts makes its MVP Experience better than ever with new proprietary scent

Custom blend of organics freshens service that’s been a client-favorite for almost two decades.

GEORGETOWN, Texas — Sport Clips Haircuts’ client-favorite MVP Experience that includes a steamed towel, massaging shampoo, neck and shoulder treatment, and precision haircut is getting a fresh, new update with a custom-blended proprietary scent. Throughout the franchise’s almost 1,900 locations, America’s most relaxing haircut experience now includes organic ingredients chamomile, lavehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggNV8KAx820&feature=youtu.bender, and eucalyptus infused into a hot steamed towel that’s gently applied to the face after the shampoo and prior to the haircut.

“When our clients come in, we’ve found that even if they’re in a hurry, they want to feel relaxed while they’re getting a haircut,” says Edward Logan, Sport Clips CEO and president. “We introduced the MVP service in 2005, 12 years after we opened our first store in 1993. Through years of perfecting the processes in becoming the pros in men’s hair, we’ve found the addition of ‘scent’ enhances the client experience and allows the relaxation to begin soon after they walk in the door.”

Consumer research shows scent can have a significant impact on the client experience and like many hotel properties and high-end stores, the team at Sport Clips developed this proprietary formula with two things in mind – clients’ overall experience along with ease of use and application by professionally trained stylists.

What’s included in the updated MVP Experience:

Sport Clips worked with Zero Trace, a company dedicated to using plant-based products, to develop the all-natural, proprietary scent. It is a combination of chamomile as an ancient medicinal with a great scent; lavender, known to improve circulation; and eucalyptus, which has a rich history as a fragrance; formulated to enhance relaxation. For Sport Clips’ use, it has been packaged in a new type of stable delivery system that allows it to arrive at the stores ready for use.
The new scent was tested in more than 50 stores and announced to franchisees, store managers, and stylists system-wide in May 2022.
Extensive training around the updated scent and application process preceded this month’s introduction.

In a survey of clients who participated in the MVP test, 82 percent rated the MVP with new scent as better than the original MVP. Sport Clips is planning an extended roll out of the upgraded service with advertising and promotions planned over the next nine months. The new scent is also part of the Ultimate MVP service (formerly the Double MVP), which features double the hot steamed towel and neck and shoulder treatment.
