Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Café Offers Financing Options for Kiosk Franchise

January 11, 2015 //  by admin

1Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Café, the unique bakery café and bagel shop with locations throughout Connecticut recently announced new financing options for the Between Rounds’ Kiosk franchise program.

Between Rounds’ co-founder and franchisor, Jerry Puiia, has secured three financing companies, Benetrends, FranchiseLeasing.com and The Stratford Group, to help new franchisees with financing of Kiosk operations.

According to Puiia, “Our reputation for offering fresh, high quality food at affordable prices is key, and when combined with a lower entry point for the potential franchisee and special financing options, it’s a win.”

Between Rounds franchised their first Kiosk store model in Tolland in 2013. That successful franchise, owned and operated by Sami Kahn, is located at 206 Merrow Road, at the Citgo Express Gas Station.

Between Rounds’ Kiosk business model is unique in that it enables convenience and gas station store owners to increase profits from their existing locations through repeat customers who not only purchase gas but also Between Rounds specialty coffee, fresh made breakfast and lunch sandwiches, fresh baked bagels and assorted bakery items.  Ultimately, store traffic increases and leads to additional sales from products that are already sold.

The Between Rounds Kiosk store has low start-up costs and requires an overall investment of approximately $120K for a standard store with no drive-thru.

He continued, “The Between Rounds Kiosk franchise opportunity has low start-up costs compared to similar franchises, and utility and facility maintenance costs are only minimally increased.  Best of all, we make it easy to operate and train existing staff using our detailed training guides and checklists.  Not only does an owner enjoy additional profits from their existing location…all those profits from increased sales stay in the owner’s pocket.”

Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling Expands Geothermal Solutions for Nantucket residents and businesses

January 11, 2015 //  by admin

KCHC_Classic_WEB_Blue copyGiven the acceptance of geothermal in the marketplace and the newer technologies available, Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling of Nantucket has expanded their geothermal solutions.

Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling is the premier, certified geothermal heating and cooling system expert installer, as well as Nantucket Island sheet metal instructor, catering to many residential and commercial customers.

“With a geothermal heating and cooling system, homeowners can benefit from utility bills that are between 25 and 70 percent lower than conventional systems. Geothermal requires less maintenance, yet it provides higher levels of comfort year-round. Additionally, it’s environmentally responsible,” said Kevin Conrad, owner.

A geothermal heating and cooling system is unlike conventional natural gas or oil systems. It takes advantage of the earth’s consistent temperature by way of geothermal heat pumps, which move heat from the earth to the home via electricity.

With geothermal, there are no carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or hydrocarbon emissions. Geothermal zoned heating provides superior comfort, and geothermal central air is twice as efficient as conventional central air systems.

High Quality Equipment and Expert Installation

Using special software and computers, Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling designs each system for a home or business.  The geothermal HVAC equipment manufacturers that Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling use are the best available, to ensure that the system will provide low impact comfort for many trouble free years.

The company has a full sheet metal shop on premise to fabricate custom ductwork for any installation.  Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling ducts are custom ductwork, which increases return on investment. Proper insulation is key, particularly in stately homes to ensure heat/cool air doesn’t escape, and Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling applies energy efficient insulating spray foam to all applicable areas.

Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling offers comprehensive preventative maintenance, which includes an annual system tune-up and on-call 24/7 emergency service.

Conrad continued, “Geothermal heating and cooling saves money as well as preserves Nantucket’s pristine environment. It’s a winning combination.”

About Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling

Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling has been serving Nantucket residents and businesses since 2004.  A fully licensed, insured and certified HVAC contractor, Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling is recognized by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). They are members of the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce.

Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling provides equipment, installation and service for air conditioning, oil and gas boilers, humidification systems, heat pumps, geothermal heating & cooling and ventilation systems. The company also provides duct cleaning, self-learning thermostats and sheet metal fabrication.

Renowned for their expertise, high quality products and world-class customer service, Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling is trusted by many islanders and numerous businesses. They service and install the largest and smallest systems on the island. The company’s founder, Kevin Conrad, was born and raised on Nantucket and understands the unique needs of customers living 30 miles off the mainland.

Winters Plumbing Pros Offer Tips to Prevent Pipes from Freezing

January 11, 2015 //  by admin

wintersVans1With artic temperatures and extremely low wind chill this week, Winters Home Services, an award-winning provider of plumbing, heating, cooling, and air quality services to residents throughout the greater Boston area, shares tips on how to prevent pipes from freezing.

“Pipes get cold, and they need warmth just like we do. Homeowners should properly insulate them and take steps to avoid pricy disasters,” explained Tim Flynn, owner of Winters Home Services.

Here are a few tips from the Winters plumbing pros:

The pipes under the kitchen and bathroom cabinets are usually not insulated, but those areas are considered “cold space”. Be sure to open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around the pipes. (Remove any hazardous household cleaners when leaving doors open, so children and pets do not have access to them.)

Turn on your water taps in the kitchen and bathrooms to a slow drip/trickle, as this prevents the pipes from freezing.

At night, leave your thermostat set at the same daytime temperature.

The basement, attic and garage are unheated areas where water supply lines may be located. These pipes need to be insulated in order to prevent them from freezing. There are specific products that may be found at most home improvement stores such UL-listed “heat tape” or a “pipe sleeve” which may be used to protect exposed water pipes. In a pinch, you can also use layers of newspaper to wrap the exposed pipes to protect them during freezing temperatures until you can properly insulate them.

“By taking these measures to prevent your pipes from freezing, your water and heating bills may be slightly higher this month, but you’ll have avoided a very costly repair job due to frozen or burst pipes,” noted Flynn.

If your pipes do freeze, you can safely treat them by applying heat to a section of pipe using a hair dryer on the pipe or by wrapping an electric heating pad around the pipe. Or, instead wrap towels soaked in hot water around the pipe. Turn the tap on while you apply the heat, so as the water starts to flow, it will further help melt the ice in the pipe. Never use any sort of open flame or open flame device to defrost the pipes.

If you need guidance or service for frozen pipes, contact the Winters team at 617-776-5950.

VoiceNation’s “Operation Give Back” Makes Children’s Holiday Brighter

L to R – LeeAnna Channell, VoiceNation’s Marketing and Video Assistant with Ashley Anderson, Executive Director of SAFFT and Amber Mooney, VoiceNation’s Outreach Coordinator.

VoiceNation, the industry leader in live answering and virtual receptionist services, has made the holidays a bit brighter for dozens of local children.

“Operation Give Back” is the name given to VoiceNation’s outreach effort to help ensure local children living in shelters and those in need of assistance receive gifts this holiday season. The program is in its third consecutive year and a highly sought after volunteer initiative among VoiceNation employees.

VoiceNation president Jay Reeder explains, “It is not only an enormous privilege, but a responsibility to care for those less fortunate. Through Operation Give Back, we have the opportunity to show love and kindness to children in our local community while spreading holiday cheer and good fortunes to the families we’re able to help.”

Like years before, VoiceNation equipped its staff with Operation Give Back profile folders complete with the child’s name; gender; age; holiday wish list; preferences, such as their favorite color, clothing size, favorite activities, and hobbies; as well as funds to purchase the gifts. Between the detailed profile and hype surrounding this initiative, employees are personally drawn and connected to their child in need and purchase gifts with incredible enthusiasm and heart.

“December is a time for giving and as a company, we see the generosity of this initiative reflecting through the actions of our staff. Many go above and beyond to personally provide gifts for these children, who they have never met, but have touched their hearts in a unique and special way,” added Reeder.

VoiceNation donated gifts to Supporting Adoption & Foster Families Together (SAFFT) and Good News At Noon to support a total of 46 children ranging in age from one to 16 years old from 15 families.

“It means a great deal to the parents. They’re so amazed that anonymous donors would provide an avenue for a parent to give their kid Christmas with nothing in return,” said Ashley Anderson, Executive Director of SAFFT.

According to Hannah Parker, Children and Youth Director for Good News At Noon, “The kids are going to feel so special. Operation Give Back is an answer to our prayer for them.”

The gifts, which ranged from bicycles, books and toys to clothing, games and more, were delivered to SAFFT and Good News At Noon on December 17th.

A large part of VoiceNation’s company culture revolves around their Employee Volunteer Program, which encourages staff to give back and get involved by helping others.  Through the program, every staff member has an opportunity to volunteer and work towards a cause they feel passionate about, on a local, national, or global scale.

Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the Brockton based regional agency serving older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout the greater Plymouth County and Brockton areas, will offer a six-week Diabetes Self-Management Program at the Rockland Council on Aging (COA), located at 317 Plain Street.

The Diabetes Self-Management Program will be held on Wednesdays, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. beginning January 28, 2015 through March 4, 2015. Because diabetes affects older adults at a much higher rate than younger adults, the program is geared towards older adults and their caregivers. Patricia Livie and Donna-Marie Forand, Outreach and Education Specialists at OCES, will lead the sessions.

The Diabetes Self-Management Program is an evidence-based program developed at Stanford University designed to help individuals develop a greater awareness of their role in disease management. It is for newly diagnosed older adults with Type II diabetes.  Attendees will learn about common problems with diabetes, how to read food labels, enhance communication, advocate for themselves and create an action plan.

“The goal of the Diabetes Self-Management Program is to help people choose healthy eating behaviors they would like to follow and to design strategies for incorporating these behaviors into daily life. Setting weekly goals, making an action plan, giving feedback and sharing experiences are a significant part of each workshop session,” explained Diana DiGiorgi, Executive Director of OCES.

This is a free workshop. Space is limited and registration is required. To register, contact Donna-Marie Forand at 508-584-1561, extension 237.

Floored by downtime. How downtime escalates construction and maintenance costs.

January 7, 2015 //  by admin

Thomas Ricciardelli
Thomas Ricciardelli of SelecTech, Inc.

AVON, MA…

Whether you’re a business owner, manager, or worker, the words “downtime” can literally send your heart into palpitations. While the most common inference of downtime is being without computer access, downtime can be as costly if work has to stop for other reasons: like building maintenance and construction.

“Whether it’s from a network crash or productivity and revenues being interrupted due to anything ranging from unplanned crises to new flooring being installed, downtime is downtime and the intangible and financial losses can be exorbitant,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials.

How much? It depends on the industry. In the auto industry, it is estimated that one minute of stopped production, or downtime, costs an average of $22,000 but can run as high as $50,000 per minute.

While there are a number of formulas to estimate how much downtime costs, most relate to network issues. For downtime for buildings and space undergoing renovation, other formulas can be utilized. In the retail world, that measure is sales per square foot.

For example, a 10,000 square-foot store with average sales revenues of $25,000 per day yields revenue downtime costs of $2.50 per square foot. If one flooring product can save three days of downtime during a renovation, that calculates to $7.50 per square foot of downtime savings, or $75,000.

When you factor that equation for some of the top retailers in the U.S., the downtime costs can skyrocket. For example, Apple is the top retail outlet at $4551 per square foot per year. Divided by 363 sales days, the downtime cost equals $12.54 per square foot per day. With the average Apple Store being 8,400 square feet, downtime for construction or renovation—even for a fairly short time span—can have considerable cost implications. And that’s something property owners are taking into consideration.

“The common perception in the construction world is the job goes to the lowest bidder,” said Ricciardelli. “In recent years, that’s been changed. Savvy purchasers are now looking at their total cost of ownership, including downtime, and making their buying decisions based on the most efficient values available. There are a lot of reasons why businesses purchase our flooring, but the most often mentioned is lack of downtime during installation and maintenance.”

Utilizing a breakthrough interlocking technology, SelecTech products completely bypass the need for adhesives and floor prep to install or replace flooring. This dramatically reduces installation times because old flooring can be left in place and machinery and furniture does not have to be completely moved or removed for installation. Installation of SelecTech flooring does not require adhesives, which enables it to be installed without extensive and time-consuming floor preparation or moisture mitigation.

SelecTech flooring products are made using recycled material and are 100 percent recyclable. So, SelecTech not only reduces and eliminates downtime, but contributes to the green efforts of manufacturers, retail outlets and other larger facilities.

Another benefit of SelecTech flooring, specifically anti-static flooring products like the FreeStyle ESD product, is that it can have a sustainable impact on computer network operations. SelecTech’s ESD flooring products safely dissipate harmful static electricity and can minimize the likelihood of system crashes and data interruption. That’s why industries such as electronics manufacturing, communications, aerospace, biotech and healthcare where electronics and sensitive data must be protected utilize SelecTech ESD flooring.

To learn more about SelecTech products, including its FreeStyle ESD flooring products, visit http://www.selectechinc.com.

About SelecTech, Inc.

SelecTech, Inc. was founded in 1993 with the mission of creating valuable products from scrap plastics. The company has become a leader in the manufacture of flooring products from recycled materials and uses one million pounds of recycled materials annually. Their products are made with up to 100 percent recycled content, are 100 percent recyclable and installed without adhesives making them some of the “greenest” and most cost-effective flooring products available. The unique interlock system on SelecTech’s flooring products enable them to be installed at a much lower cost, without a lot of costly downtime, which provides significant value to customers.

Using state-of-the-art technology and innovative product design, SelecTech created the top performing Place N’ Go residential flooring products, which are available at Home Depot. They are also the creators of the renowned commercial and industrial FreeStyle, FreeStyle ESD and StaticStop ESD flooring lines.

SelecTech is a vendor partner of Health Care Institute, an International Facility Management Association (IFMA) alliance partner. The company is headquartered at 33 Wales Avenue, Suite F in Avon, MA. For more information about SelecTech, visit http://www.selectechinc.com.
