A sweet (and healthy) franchise opportunity…Natural Fruit Corporation, makers of 100% natural Chunks O’ Fruti® frozen fruit bars, offers royalty-free franchise opportunity

Fruti frozen fruit barsHIALEAH, FLORIDA…

Americans have a sweet tooth. We also know we should be eating better. Parents, in particular, want to give their children (and themselves for that matter) healthier options, especially for snacks and desserts. With its revised franchise offering, the Natural Fruit Corporation is giving go-getters the opportunity to capitalize on this growing trend by selling its 100% natural Chunks O’Fruti® frozen fruit bar products wholesale to retail outlets like their local convenience stores, hospital cafeterias, schools, independent grocery stores, deli’s, family style restaurants, swim clubs and many other high-traffic locations.

Sweetening the pot figuratively and literally for this franchise opportunity is a special partnership Natural Fruit Corporation entered into with Mars, the candy and ice cream product juggernaut. So, in addition to appealing to the “better for you” market with Chunk O’ Fruti® products, franchisees can also sell the enormously popular Mars ice cream products—like Twix, Snickers, M&Ms and Dove bars—on a wholesale basis to those same retail locations as a Mars distributor.

“There is nothing like Chunks O’Fruti® on the market today. It’s 100% natural, fruit is always the first ingredient, there is no artificial coloring or flavoring, and the fruit is spread evenly throughout each bar by a proprietary manufacturing process. It’s also low calorie and there are more than 20 natural flavors to choose from. It is precisely what health conscious consumers want for their children and themselves,” said Susan Morris, senior vice president for Natural Fruit Corporation. “Add to that a name brand like Mars and their incredible ice cream products for the folks who can’t quite kick their sweet tooth and you’ve got a can’t miss offering that’s going to appeal to practically every consumer.”

Morris adds, “Beyond great products, this franchise offering gives the right person a growth opportunity they can tailor towards their lifestyle. You’re not tied down to a physical, brick-and-mortar location or a 24/7/365 schedule. If you want to run your business Monday through Friday, 9-to-5, you can do that. You can be hands on and deliver product and freezers yourself or hire a staff and delegate. It’s really up to you.”

Start up costs, including the franchise fee, can range from $75,000 to $101,000 depending on whether you lease or purchase trucks and storage space. The initial offering includes:

• Franchise Fee $25,000

• Minimum of 75 freezers (lease option: 3 years @ $24.54/mo. $1 buyout)

• Truck with freezer body (lease option)

• Leased space in freezer warehouse

• Computer hardware and software

• Initial Fruti® and Mars products inventory

• Initial training and freezer placement service

• Sales and marketing materials

• Mobile route management equipment and software

Each franchisee is given an exclusive territory within a two-hour driving radius. Franchisees are then responsible for negotiating with merchants to place a Chunks O’ Fruti® freezer at the location, keeping those locations stocked and acquiring new locations. Each territory has the capacity for 1,000 freezers.

“Plain and simple, we want our franchisees to succeed. That’s why we don’t burden them with the additional expense of royalty fees and provide assistance in buying or leasing storage space and transportation and how to market their business,” said Morris. “We also offer an incentive program that rewards franchisees who place 75 freezers with a substantially discounted rate on the next 125 freezers.”

Fruti® franchises are available across the U.S. For complete information on Fruti®’s franchise offering, please visit www.frutifranchise.comor contact Bruce Wildes, Acadia Business Advisors, LLC at 207 370 8210 or info@acadiabiz.com.

South Shore Skin Center & Spa Dermatologists Weigh in on New Melanoma Drug

Last week, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared the first drug to prolong survival of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. The physicians at South Shore Skin Center and Spa, one of the most progressive practices for medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology in Massachusetts, weigh in on what it means to patients with melanoma.

“The breakthrough cancer medication from Bristol-Myers Squibb is Yervoy and it is specifically for patients with late-stage or metastatic melanoma. This is an exciting new weapon in the fight against skin cancer. We have two drugs out there that are used in the treatment of stage 3 and stage 4 melanoma – Interferon (which was approved a decade ago) and Dacarbazine. Yervoy is the first medication shown to prolong survival,” explained Dr. Ramzi Saad, M.D., dermatologist at South Shore Skin Center and Spa.

He continued, “ Yervoy is going to be a promising option for many. It prolongs life by six and a half months or more. The big issue is the significant side effect profile. But, Yervoy will undergo further rigorous testing to define it’s optimal use on melanoma patients.”

Over the past two years, South Shore Skin Center and Spa has seen a significant increase in the number of South Shore and Cape Cod patients at their practice being diagnosed with stage 1 and stage 2 melanoma. The doctors at South Shore Skin Center and Spa believe that one of the potential directions that may be taken with Yervoy is that it could be given to patients in the earlier stages (stage 1 or stage 2 melanoma) for protective results as well as for greater results in prolonging survival.

According to South Shore Skin Center and Spa’s dermatologists, early detection is imperative in the prevention and treatment of melanoma. If undetected and untreated, melanoma can quickly spread to the major organs and lymph nodes.

“Skin cancer is primarily caused by prolonged exposure to Ultraviolet A (UVA) and Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays from the sun or from tanning booths. UVA and UVB rays are present in tanning booths as well as on cloudy days and exposed skin is left vulnerable without sunblock or sunscreen. We’re all exposed to these rays every day, each time we go outdoors and the repeated exposure builds over time,” noted Dr. Richard Eisen, M.D. Dermatologist at South Shore Skin Center and Spa.

Protecting Against Skin Cancer

South Shore Skin Center’s physicians remind adults and children to follow these important measures in the prevention of skin cancer:

Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.

Avoid sunlamps and tanning beds.

Use ample amounts of sunscreen or sunblock with an SPF of 30 or higher every day, even if it is cloudy.

Wear protective clothing and large framed or wrap-around sunglasses to protect the eye area.

Have your skin checked by a dermatologist regularly.

Note any moles or other spots on the skin that have changed. Have them checked by physician as soon as possible.

For concerns about the skin, contact South Shore Skin Center’s Cohasset (781) 383-3340 or Plymouth dermatology office (508) 747-0711.
