Central paradigm for PreBioGyn cancer prevention strategy

Novel lubricant aims to optimize vaginal ecosystem health and limit product-use that increases BV and STI risks associating with cancer.

— Glyciome CEO and PreBioGyn co-inventor, Dr. Joanna Ellington

“Cervical cancer has a clear socioeconomic bias, with mortality rates rising, especially among US women in low-income counties” said Glyciome CEO and product co-inventor, Dr. Joanna Ellington. “Those most impacted populations include rural white women, Mexican Americans, non-Hispanic Black Americans, Puerto Ricans, American Indians, and women service members. Reproductive care is often stigmatized in these communities, creating barriers to treatment.” Glyciome’s groundbreaking patent covers both the prebiotic lubricant and a discreet delivery system, designed to optimize adoption even for those without access to clean water or waste management.

The patented lubricant delivery kit includes the first-in-kind vaginal lubricant, innovative kraft-paper applicators, and a discreet “all-in, all-out” dispensing and waste-collection carton designed for incineration, ensuring maximum user privacy. Glyciome is committed to developing products to reduce infections linked to genital cancers. The kraft-paper applicator not only meets rigorous standards for effective gel delivery but also offers a sustainable alternative, reducing women's exposure to harmful plastic chemicals associated with cancer risks. Additionally, the prebiotic lubricant is the mildest of lubricants tested to date by third parties in preclinical studies, showing a lack of harm to vaginal cells or healthy vaginal bacteria.

Unlike current BV approaches that disrupt vaginal function and can increase risks of STI and BV recurrence, Glyciome’s approach supports the healthy vaginal ecosystem. Although high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines can decrease cancer rates, only ~55% of US teens and fewer than 20% of older women are fully vaccinated. HPV alone doesn’t cause cervical cancer; it is the inflammation of BV together with the HPV virus that triggers formation and progression of this cancer. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally, with maternal deaths leading to as many as 10% of global orphans. In the US, with 300,000 people living with this cancer and death rates rising, novel prevention methods are urgently needed.

“About 34 million Americans have BV. Current treatments, including oral antibiotics, result in a 40% recurrence rate, while over-the-counter products, such as symptom-management lubricants, are sold without FDA review of marketed claims around vaginal ecosystem health” said co-inventor and Doctor of Pharmacy, GD Clifton. “Two decades of published studies warn that lubricants, and even natural oils, can increase STI and BV risks by harming beneficial vaginal bacteria and increasing bad bacterial types that result in unwanted ‘fishy’ odors and inflammation associating with cancer. This increased risk from lubricant use led to the UN convening a recent global consultation on safer product development, which our product was designed to address.”

Glyciome’s team, spanning Spokane WA, Boston MA, and Puerto Rico, has spent more than four years developing their novel lubricant for at-home and local healthcare use, focusing on diverse populations. “Approximately 25% of American women are looking for an alternative to HPV vaccines for cervical cancer prevention,” said Dr. Jenny Fremlin, Glyciome’s digital director and diversity ambassador. “Our product fills that need, especially for women whose personal healthy vaginal bacteria don’t match the strains provided in most probiotics, and for those who aren’t getting sex education in schools or feel like what they’re being taught doesn’t really relate to them.”

Glyciome founders, who previously invented PreSeed^®, the first FDA-approved sperm-safe lubricant for trying-to-conceive couples, have now turned their attention to cervical cancer prevention. Dr. Ellington’s PhD studies at Cornell included International Development, providing insight into challenges for LRS reproductive healthcare. She explains, “The UN identifies pregnant women as those most at risk for cervical cancer, and they are a group we hope our product will especially benefit. We are also very proud to have received product development funding through the National Cancer Institute in a small-business Seed grant, and a regional Health Sciences & Services Authority of Spokane County grant, which has helped us advance our technology toward this trailblazing achievement.” (R41CA254543).

The report was issued today by Nancy LeMaster, MBA, Chair of the Institute for Supply Management^® (ISM^®) Hospital Business Survey Committee: "The Hospital PMI^® registered 55 percent in September, a 3.6-percentage point decrease from the August reading of 58.6 percent, indicating a 13th consecutive month of growth after a contraction in August 2023. The Business Activity Index expanded for the 13th straight month. The New Orders Index expanded for the second consecutive month, while the Employment Index also remained in expansion territory for the fifth straight month. The Supplier Deliveries Index remained in expansion (which indicates slower delivery performance) for the 13th consecutive month. The Case Mix Index contracted in September after expanding for four consecutive months, registering 48.5 percent, 4 percentage points lower than the previous month's figure of 52.5 percent. The Days Payable Outstanding Index returned to expansion in September, up 2 percentage points from the 'unchanged' reading of 50 percent in August. The Technology Spend Index reading of 56.5 percent is a decrease of 0.5 percentage point compared to the 57 percent recorded in August. The Touchless Orders Index returned to contraction territory in September, registering 47 percent, down 6.5 percentage points from the 53.5 percent reported in August."

LeMaster continues, "Generally, business is good as we move into the fourth quarter. Facilities are reporting that volumes have increased somewhat, as is usually the case at this time of year. Inventories are increasing as COVID-19 and flu vaccines and other seasonal medications arrive. However, some hospitals are reporting that some supply chains are showing signs of congestion, as back orders are up somewhat and some transportation disruptions have been cited. Hospitals are looking to fill vacant staff positions and reduce reliance on temporary labor. Some organizations have acquired or are building new facilities (both inpatient and outpatient), contributing to technology spend. It has also been reported that organizations are also looking to augment provider networks, which in some cases is related to expansion of their physical plants."

About This ReportThe information compiled in this report is for the month of September 2024.

The Hospital PMI^® was developed in collaboration with the Association for Health Care Resource & Materials Management (AHRMM), an association for the health care supply chain profession, and a professional membership group of the American Hospital Association (AHA).

The data presented herein is obtained from a survey of hospital supply executives based on information they have collected within their respective organizations. ISM^® makes no representation, other than that stated within this release, regarding the individual company data collection procedures. The data should be compared to all other economic data sources when used in decision-making.

Data and Method of PresentationThe Hospital ISM^® Report On Business^® is based on data compiled from hospital purchasing and supply executives nationwide. Survey responses reflect the change, if any, in the current month compared to the previous month. For each of the indicators measured (Business Activity, New Orders, Employment, Supplier Deliveries, Inventories, Prices, Prices: Pharmaceuticals, Prices: Supplies, Backlog of Orders, Imports, Inventory Sentiment, Case Mix, Days Payable Outstanding, Technology Spend, and Touchless Orders), this report shows the percentage reporting each response and the diffusion index. Responses represent raw data and are never changed. Beginning in January 2021, the Report On Business^® staff and consultants are gathering market information to better validate the Exports Index. Exports Index data are still being collected.

The Hospital PMI^® is a composite index computed from the following, equally weighted indexes: Business Activity, New Orders, Employment and Supplier Deliveries. Diffusion indexes have the properties of leading indicators and are convenient summary measures showing the prevailing direction of change and the scope of change. A Hospital PMI^® index reading above 50 percent indicates that the hospital sub-sector is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally declining. For the sub-indexes, except Supplier Deliveries, an index reading above 50 percent indicates that the sub-index is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally contracting. A Supplier Deliveries Index above 50 percent indicates slower deliveries and below 50 percent indicates faster deliveries.

The Hospital ISM^® Report On Business^® survey is sent out to the Hospital Business Survey Panel respondents the first part of each month. Respondents are asked to ONLY report on U.S. operations for the current month. ISM^® receives survey responses throughout most of any given month, with the majority of respondents generally waiting until late in the month to submit responses to give the most accurate picture of current business activity. ISM^® then compiles the report for release on the fifth business day of the following month.

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pokeworks, the leading and quickest-growing fast-casual poke brand in the world, is strengthening its presence in Orange County as part of a strategic expansion initiative. With headquarters in Irvine, Pokeworks is committed to building a robust franchise network in the region, capitalizing on favorable demographics and a demand for fresh, customizable, and health-focused meals.

Peter Yang, co-founder and Chief Development Officer of Pokeworks, expressed why Orange County is a key market for the brand: "The demographics closely align with our target market and mirror national trends toward healthier, customizable meals. Despite the rising costs of dining out in recent years, we continue to offer exceptional value to our guests with our healthy, premium sushi-grade seafood poke bowls, starting at just $15.95. The strong growth at our corporate location in Irvine has further reinforced our confidence in expanding throughout the region."

In addition to its corporate location in Irvine, Pokeworks currently has five franchise-owned-and-operated locations in the Southern California market: Laguna Niguel, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Los Angeles (Emerson College), and Brea.

Pokeworks has agreements in place for three additional locations in Orange County, all of which will be franchise-owned. The brand has deliberately selected its expansion locations and partners, ensuring that each new franchise is set up for success from the start. Beyond these existing partnerships, Pokeworks is actively seeking new franchisees to join its growing network in the market. The region's reputation as a vibrant foodie destination, coupled with a strong demand for healthy dining options, makes it an ideal market for Pokeworks' fresh and customizable offerings. According to Food Dive and a recent report, consumers are prioritizing their wellness, with 67% considering it a top priority, supporting the demand for Pokeworks' health-conscious, convenient, and customizable meals in northwest Orange County.

"We are excited to bring our healthy and delicious dining options to more communities in Orange County," said Yang. "By partnering with the right franchisees, we look forward to strategically growing the market and enhancing our presence across the region."

With stores achieving $2.2M in sales, Pokeworks provides franchisees with a streamlined operational system, diverse revenue streams, and cutting-edge technology for a seamless business experience. With a total investment starting at $308,000, the brand presents a highly attractive opportunity for aspiring franchisees eager to bring fresh poke to new communities.

Founded in 2015, Pokeworks was born from a group of close friends and their love for Hawaiian poke, a unique, native Hawaiian dish. After experiencing authentic poke, the group saw a gap in the market and aimed to bring it to the masses. Prioritizing fresh, sustainable seafood, Pokeworks offers customizable, healthy poke bowls, burritos, and salads. Their Poke Your Way approach lets guests tailor orders to various diets, including vegan and gluten-free, while offering convenient grab-and-go options for modern diners.

About Pokeworks

Pokeworks was founded in 2015 with the simple mission of spreading its love of poke –the crisp, fresh, healthy Hawaiian favorite – with the world. Pokeworks' innovative Poke Your Way approach is groundbreaking, offering guests over 50,000 ways to customize their poke order to match their eating preferences including vegan, gluten-free, and other mindful diets. The Poke Burrito has developed a cult-like following, much like Pokeworks' proprietary sauces, which range from sweet and spicy to savory. Pokeworks believes in supporting a healthy lifestyle and serving guests meals made from the freshest, highest quality ingredients from sustainable food sources. In 2022, the brand was honored to be named the "Top Poke Franchise" by Startups Magazine. Pokeworks has quickly expanded to become the leading fast-casual poke brand in the world with three consecutive years on Fast Casual's "Top 100 Movers and Shakers" list.

PLANO, Texas, Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Aimbridge Hospitality, the world's leading third-party hotel management company, is marking a transformative year with notable leadership changes, investment in talent, and enhanced differentiated service offerings aimed at driving unmatched performance and results for hotel owners. As the company builds on the momentum it has generated this year, Aimbridge remains focused on empowering its talented associates and general managers, expanding its robust collection of best-in-class tools and expertise-based services, and harnessing the power of its scale leading to success across its managed portfolio.

"We are united by a shared vision to deliver superior hotel performance while deepening our relationships with our owners," said Craig S. Smith, Aimbridge Hospitality CEO. "Aimbridge is strategically positioned to lead the industry with a strong executive team that is hyper focused on operational excellence, innovation, and partnership. At the heart of this transformation is our investment in people—particularly our general managers, whose leadership is critical to our property teams as they deliver exceptional guest experiences that ultimately make our managed properties successful. Together, we are shaping a future where operational agility, empowered leadership, and sustained results define our success."

Key highlights of 2024 thus far include:

Complete Leadership TeamThroughout 2024, Aimbridge welcomed a series of leadership appointments and promotions to complete its deep bench of expertise, including Craig S. Smith, CEO, Eric B. Jacobs, Chief Global Growth Officer, William Davenport, CFO, Christopher Tatum, President-Full Service, the internal promotion of Keryn McNamara, Chief Information Officer, and the return of Greg Moundas, Chief Legal Officer. These significant announcements underscore Aimbridge's focus on driving a collective vision for the future and reinforcing its strategic goals to better serve hotel owners and foster growth.

Investment in Top TalentAnn Christenson, Chief Human Resources Officer, has continued to serve as a leader and champion in shaping the company's culture, spearheading efforts to build a world-class talent development program and ensuring Aimbridge remains a highly sought-after employer for industry talent, with a focus on creating an inclusive and supportive environment for all associates.

Aimbridge's commitment to talent, with a strong focus on general managers (GMs) as the "CEOs" of their respective hotels, continues to pay dividends. One such investment is the GM Connect leadership development program, which equips general managers with the skills and knowledge necessary to lead their properties and teams. Since its inception, more than 800 GMs have participated in the program, contributing to a decrease in GM turnover by 48 percent in the past year and continuing to keep it significantly below the industry average.

Industry RecognitionIn response to its focus on company culture and development, Aimbridge has been recognized with an impressive list of workplace awards, further solidifying its reputation as a leading employer in the hospitality industry. These accolades include:

• 2024-2025 Best Companies to Work For: Private Companies and Hotel, Restaurants and Leisure from U.S. News & World Report
• America's Greatest Workplaces by Newsweek
• America's Best Large Workplaces and Best Employers for Women by Forbes
• Comparably Awards for Best Company Leadership, Career Growth, Best HR, Engineering, and Sales Teams, Best Company Outlook, and Happiest Employees
• Best Leadership Development Program - Aspire Leadership Development by HR.com

Commitment to Innovation & AlignmentWith an emphasis on leveraging Aimbridge's unmatched scale, the company continues to build trust and deliver results for hotel owners through industry-leading processes and tools. Strengths in technology, data, and expertise further differentiate the company's ability to optimize performance and drive superior results across its portfolio.

In September, Aimbridge rebranded its topline disciplines to Aimbridge Commercial, underscoring the company's focus on generating profitable revenue for owners with a comprehensive approach to revenue generation. With more above-property sales leaders than any other third-party operator, Aimbridge also offers expanded commercial services to its owners through its industry-leading e-commerce and marketing team, Second Wave, the company's in-house digital and marketing agency.

The company is also dedicated to ensuring the flexibility of its on-property associates, made possible by embracing technology that gives employees control in scheduling and work-location preferences through intelligent shift scheduling. Through a mobile app, associates can self-schedule, swap shifts, and pick up open shifts across hotels, leading to better work-life balance and improved employee satisfaction. More than 12,000 employees—about 30 percent of Aimbridge's hourly workforce—have traded shifts since program launch in 2023.

The Aimbridge leadership team, along with the company's commitment to a balanced scorecard approach, ensures alignment on key performance metrics, consistent accountability, and a collective focus on delivering superior results for owners and properties alike.

These results are now shared through a newly introduced data and reporting tool built by Aimbridge called Aimbridge Intelligence, part of the company's owner dashboard OwnView. Aimbridge Intelligence creates greater transparency and collaboration with owners by providing near real-time access to STR performance, RevPAR Index, profitability, guest service, and turnover data. Through Aimbridge Intelligence, owners can view the metrics associated with their individual hotels or an entire portfolio, allowing for faster identification of areas of opportunities and implementation of relevant strategies.

Chic and modern, Moxy Asheville's communal spaces and bedrooms are fully customized and non-prototypical, encouraging guests to let loose and socialize. Featuring contemporary furniture, open workspace and a state-of-the-art video wall, the hotel's living room lobby inspires creativity and connection. A grab-and-go market is stationed in the lobby as well, providing healthy continental breakfast offerings and convenient items for guests on the move.

Also officially open for business, an independent rooftop bar and restaurant, Wildwood Still, adorns the seventh floor, serving 150+ whiskeys and bourbons, craft cocktails, beer and wine, Asian-inspired small plates and unbeatable Blue Ridge Mountain views. Austin Tisdale has been named Executive Chef of Wildwood Still, leading the restaurant's menu creation and ingredient sourcing. A fixture in the Asheville culinary scene since 1996, Tisdale has held positions at beloved local favorites including The Grove Park Inn, Bouchon French Bistro, Lexington Avenue Brewery, and Bargello, the latter where he most recently served as Sous Chef. A versatile and experienced hospitality leader, Christa Baer has been appointed Food & Beverage Director for Wildwood Still and Moxy Asheville, responsible for overseeing the Wildwood Still team and ensuring exceptional guest experiences.

Reflecting the creative and eclectic spirit of Asheville, the work of nearly 20 different local and regional artists is featured throughout the property and Wildwood Still. This includes North Carolina's tallest mural created by Scott Allred of Bruschcan Studios on the hotel's exterior and a 120-gallon custom moonshine still from Ace Custom Copper which marks the exterior entrance to the rooftop bar and restaurant.

Forming a new dual brand offering, Moxy Asheville is connected to the existing Aloft Asheville Downtown. The hotels boast separate lobbies and elevators; however, guests of both brands share access to amenities including the Splash pool deck adorned with cabanas, a state-of-the-art fitness center equipped with Peloton bikes, and flexible meeting space.

Moxy Asheville is owned by McKibbon Equities. Winford Lindsey served as the architect with Seattle-based hospitality design firm, The Society, handling interior design for the project. McKibbon Places led construction and design as project manager with Kellogg & Kimsey serving as the general contractor.

"Our team is thrilled to welcome this exciting new property to the portfolio," said J.B. McKibbon, president of McKibbon Equities. "Asheville has solidified itself as a must-visit destination in the south and as we expand our footprint in North Carolina we couldn't be prouder to share the beloved Moxy brand with this community and its visitors."

The hotel is operated by McKibbon's hotel management arm, McKibbon Hospitality, which established the on-property leadership team led by Captain/Dual General Manager and Asheville native Dexter Hazel with Jamie Tudico serving as Market Director of Sales. In his role, Hazel is directly responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the Moxy along with its sister property, Aloft Asheville Downtown. Tudico is responsible for revenue generation for Moxy Asheville, as well as McKibbon's additional downtown properties: Aloft Asheville Downtown, AC Hotel Asheville Downtown, and Kimpton Hotel Arras.

Fremont Street Experience to host the kickoff party for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo on Wed., Dec. 4

Beloved country music artist Randy Houser will headline the Downtown Hoedown with a performance on 3rd Street stage at 9:15pm. With an inimitable voice The New York Times describes as “wholly different, thicker and more throbbing, a caldron bubbling over,” Houser has racked up over half a dozen hits and one billion streams. His “How Country Feels” album topped the charts with the title track, “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight” and “Goodnight Kiss” (also his first No. 1 as a songwriter) and earned critical acclaim for his powerful delivery of the Top 5 smash and nominated CMA Song of the Year, “Like A Cowboy.” Houser’s sixth studio album “Note To Self” is available now via Magnolia Music Group and features 10 tracks all co-written by the Mississippi native. This year, Houser released his new single “Country Back”, a full throttle proclamation of all things country.

Following a memorable performance as part of the destination’s Country’s Next Big Thing series in 2022, fast-rising Country singer/songwriter Jackson Dean will make his exciting return to Fremont Street Experience at 7:00pm on the 1st Street Stage. He is quickly earning a reputation for his old school, gritty, lyric-driven, outlaw style of Country. An adventurous and carefree spirit, the 23-year-old multi-instrumentalist, is also an old soul and skilled artisan.

Bringing that same sense of adventure and downhome vibe to his songwriting, the “modern-day Country rambler” (Taste of Country) burst on the scene, showing people how real music can be with his atmospheric, musically forward debut album “GREENBROKE”. Following an early career of local performances in his hometown, Jackson has joined bills with superstar acts like Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert, Brantley Gilbert, Kane Brown, Jake Owen, Brooks & Dunn, Lee Brice and Brothers Osborne.

Another Country’s Next Big Thing alum, Warner Music Nashville’s Chase Matthew will hit the Main Street Stage at 5:15pm. He is on the fast track to becoming one of Nashville’s hottest newcomers. A Music City native, Matthew began his career by independently paving a path for himself in the genre with his infectious personality, rowdy live performances and authentic, relatable music – amassing over 1B+ global career streams, garnering 1.5M+ followers across social media and being named a HITS Magazine “One to Watch” as well as 2024 Opry Next Stage member. His latest single, “Darlin” is out now, and fans can expect more new music from this Nashville riser in the coming months.

Fremont Street Experience Downtown Hoedown Lineup
Wednesday, December, 4 5:15pm: Chase Matthew at Main Street Stage 7:00pm: Jackson Dean at 1st Street Stage 9:15pm: Randy Houser at 3rd Street Stage

Mr. Langan added: "During 4Q24, we continued to take aggressive action to improve Bombshells' business, including selling the San Antonio location back to its former franchisee, which should help segment results going forward. We also continued to buy back shares in the open market. 4Q24 was the third highest quarterly spend ($7.8 million) on buybacks and the fifth highest in number of shares repurchased (174,790) since FY15."

Nightclubs: Total 4Q24 sales of $60.2 million declined 0.5% compared to 4Q23. The change primarily reflected:

• 2.2% same-store sales growth, which was negatively impacted by ten closure days at three clubs in the Houston area due to Hurricane Beryl in July
• Sales from three new and reformatted clubs in Texas (Harlingen, Lubbock, and Tye)
• The temporary closing of two clubs in Texas for most of the quarter (Baby Dolls Fort Worth due to fire in early July and a location in El Paso until it reopened as a Chicas Locas BYOB bikini bar in late September)
• The transition of two clubs to new formats and/or hours to accommodate recent restrictions on Dallas businesses (Dallas Showclub and Silver City Cabaret)

Bombshells: Total 4Q24 sales of $11.9 million declined 12.2% compared to 4Q23. The change primarily reflected:

• 16.2% same-store sales decline, which was negatively impacted by 26 closure days at five locations in the Houston area due to Hurricane Beryl in July
• New sales from the Stafford location, which opened in November 2023, partially offset by a decline in sales from the San Antonio location, which was sold at the beginning of September

Share Repurchases

• 4Q24: RCI repurchased 174,790 common shares for $7.8 million (average $44.81 per share), resulting in 8,955,000 shares of common stock outstanding and $21.0 million in remaining purchase authorization.
• FY24: RCI repurchased 442,639 shares for $20.6 million (average $46.55 per share).

"Navigating hotel ownership isn't easy, with many owners facing the same challenges over and over. Wyndham's Accelerator Circle connects a dynamic community for Black and women entrepreneurs who haven't always had the support of our industry. It's a space for owners to exchange knowledge, learn from seasoned pros, and the expected result? A more diverse industry with a new wave of empowered, savvy owners."

- Galen Barrett, VP, Strategic Franchise Initiatives, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts

Accelerating Ownership Through CommunityCreated to help entrepreneurs from the time they consider hotel ownership all the way through opening a hotel, both BOLD and Women Own the Room put a key emphasis on fostering an interactive community that supports greater diversity in hospitality. With Accelerator Circle, Wyndham takes the focus to the next level by facilitating connection among its BOLD and Women Own the Room owners, allowing them to learn from shared experiences and grow together as an engaged community.

In line with its Owner First approach to franchising, Accelerator Circle sessions will focus on topics that come directly from franchisees, including securing financing, hotel renovations, development and operations, among others. Sessions will be led by industry professionals—spanning Wyndham team members, industry experts and owner peers—facilitating strategic, peer-to-peer discussions and providing insights focused on the real-time concerns owners face today.

Kicking off the series for Accelerator Circle this fall, WaterWalk CEO Mimi Oliver will lead a discussion focused on optimizing relationships with franchisors. During her tenure, Mimi has overseen the development, opening and operations for numerous hotels, raised more than $100 million in equity for the company, and most recently, joined forces with Wyndham as the Company's 25^th brand, WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham. Along with being a trailblazer as a woman executive in the industry, she's witnessed the incredible success of her late grandfather, Jack DeBoer, the extended-stay pioneer who led the way for the segment. Future sessions will be hosted by other industry professionals with topics spanning fundraising, construction and renovation, creating an optimal staffing model and more.

"Hotel ownership is challenging, and I've seen firsthand how valuable it is to have a circle of supporters to help navigate those difficulties and drive success. I was drawn to Wyndham because of their dedication to increasing diversity in hospitality, and Accelerator Circle is one meaningful way I can give back to inspire future generations—especially those who might not see a clear path—to join our fantastic industry."

They join Power Prep wraps, introduced in 2023, as the latest innovation from Bagcraft to provide packaging choices for grab-and-go foods.

"With an insulated, four-layer structure, Power Prep ensures ready-to-eat food stays as flavorful as the moment it was made — assuring fresh taste and top quality with every bite," said Rick Brown, Senior Vice President, Sales of Novolex. "Power Prep redefines the grab-and-go experience, offering a truly innovative approach to making, freezing, distributing, selling and savoring sandwiches and other fare."

Novolex developed the Power Prep line because convenience stores, supermarkets and other foodservice operators are increasingly using central kitchens to prepare grab-and-go food options. Power Prep packaging protects and maintains the quality of food, controlling moisture and heat in multiple temperature environments.

Power Prep is made with oil-and-grease-resistant paper, achieved without added PFAS. This paper is laminated to a liner with a honeycomb structure to create an insulated layer.

Among the features of Power Prep:

• Uses a lamination that offers anti-curling capabilities to enable flat sheeting, saving time and improving preparation because foods can be quickly wrapped and frozen at scale.
• Demonstrates superior puncture-resistance compared to foil or a foil/paper structure, creating a more practical alternative.
• Allows for custom printing to showcase branding and promotional messaging.

Novolex will showcase the full line of Power Prep wrap, bags and rolls at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) show at Booth #4527 in Las Vegas this week.

Power Prep is just the latest cutting-edge solution from Bagcraft, a premier manufacturer of food packaging products that serve a wide range of foodservice, restaurant, supermarket, convenience store and bakery applications.

Newest Single From Delphi Lights "Beyond Horizon's" Available Now On All Streaming Platforms

CALGARY, CANADA, September 27, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Calgary-based indie rock band Delphi Lights is thrilled to announce the release of their fourth single, "Beyond Horizons," dropping on Friday, September 27. Known for their introspective lyrics and unique sound, Delphi Lights once again delivers a reflective and evocative track that promises to resonate with listeners.

“Beyond Horizons” explores themes of resilience and staying true to oneself amid the complexities and challenges of modern life. The song, with its sailing metaphors and autumnal atmosphere, brings a sense of nostalgia and inner reflection.

“It's a song about maintaining the course, or staying true to oneself, amidst the skullduggery of this modern life,” says frontman Darren Long. “It has this sailing theme throughout, and this sort of autumn feeling to it. The song was written a few years back with an arpeggio-style picking, which can be heard in the background of this particular mix. I'm hoping the song inspires a certain amount of nostalgia and depth of character. That’s the feeling I get when I hear it.”

Fans of the band can expect "Beyond Horizons" to continue the introspective journey of Delphi Lights’ previous releases, blending thoughtful lyricism with a rich, melodic soundscape.

"Beyond Horizons" will be available for streaming on all major platforms starting Friday, September 27.

For more information, visit Delphi Lights' official website or follow them on social media.

NORTH BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 7, 2024  /PRNewswire/ -- Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), one of the largest hotel franchisors in the world, is expanding its portfolio of innovative solutions for its extended stay hotel conversions with the introduction of Lobby in a Box—a proprietary and exclusive to Choice modular design package that allows hoteliers to transform public spaces such as lobby dining areas into multi-functional, revenue-generating spaces in as little as 120 days for its Suburban Studios and MainStay Suites brands.

Delivered in a ready-to-assemble crate, Lobby in a Box empowers hotel owners to easily adapt their lobby spaces to meet the specific needs of long-staying guests, who typically prefer an in-room dining experience thanks to the fully equipped kitchens in rooms of extended stay properties. This approach offers a versatile alternative to convert the standard lobby dining spaces in transient hotels and enables hoteliers to create new income opportunities for the MainStay brand by incorporating a marketplace that features on-the-go food and beverage options, essential travel items, and more.

Building on the success of Choice's Kitchen in a Box—a turnkey solution that has enabled hotel owners to install fully equipped kitchens into guest rooms in as little as 3-4 months—Lobby in a Box continues to drive Choice's expansion into key extended stay markets with high barriers to entry, where conversions offer a faster and more cost-effective alternative to new construction.

"At Choice Hotels, we are proud to be pioneers and innovators in the extended stay segment," said Matt McElhare, vice president and lead for extended stay brands for Choice Hotels. "As the demand for extended stay accommodations continues to exceed supply, solutions like Lobby in a Box and Kitchen in a Box are helping franchisees seize opportunities in a growing market while providing long-staying guests a superior, tailor-made experience. Our goal is to simplify the conversion process and help maximize hotel owners' return on investment by giving them the tools to create spaces that can be both functional and profitable."

Fulfilling Growing Demand

With extended stay demand exceeding supply, Hotels' Lobby in a Box and Kitchen in a Box solutions are meeting an industry-wide need for fast, efficient hotel conversions. In many cases, securing financing for conversions is more accessible than for new builds, due to the lower risk profile associated with repurposing existing properties.

"Choice is known for its best-in-class conversion capabilities, and we're taking it to the next level with Kitchen and Lobby in a Box," said Ron Burgett, senior vice president, extended stay development at Choice Hotels. "Paired with unparalleled support from our dedicated team of over 70 extended stay experts, we are converting transient hotels into extended stay properties quickly."

Since its launch in the spring of 2022, Kitchen in a Box has been utilized in over 30 open hotels, with six more in the pipeline, including three that are also incorporating Lobby in a Box into their renovations. These proprietary turnkey design elements contribute to  Choice Hotels' rapid growth in the extended stay segment, positioning the company to open its 500th extended stay property this year.

Franchisee Success

Hotel owners who have adopted these modular solutions are seeing measurable results. Rushi Vaidya, who converted his transient hotel into a Suburban Studios extended stay property using Kitchen in a Box, noted a 43% increase in year-over-year revenue per available room (RevPAR) and a 10.2% improvement in guest satisfaction scores. "The quick conversion and expert support from Choice Hotels allowed us to transform our property efficiently, and the enhancements have paid off with significant gains in both revenue and guest satisfaction," said Vaidya.

Partners Nick Patel and Supan Shah, owners of the MainStay Suites in Columbus, OH, echoed similar sentiments about the new Lobby in a Box offering. "The design is modern, highly functional, and tailored to the unique needs of extended stay guests. Choice Hotels' support and focus on innovation in this segment has been a key factor in our success," they shared.

With two established conversion extended stay brands—economy-focused Suburban Studios and midscale MainStay Suites—Choice Hotels is poised to continue its leadership in the extended stay market through innovative solutions that cater to both owners and guests alike.

OCEAN CITY, Md., Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Water Development proudly announces the launch of its second annual "Blue Turns Pink" campaign in recognition of October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year, the outdoor hospitality company has set an ambitious goal to raise $60,000 across all properties, with proceeds benefiting the Atlantic General Hospital (AGH) Foundation supporting the Burbage Regional Cancer Care Center, The Magic Yarn Project, and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Beginning September 27th, Blue Water properties will come together in support of cancer patients, survivors, and their families through these "Blue Turns Pink" initiatives. The campaign is designed not only to raise funds for ongoing research and care but also to heighten awareness through a series of impactful activities:

• Pink Merchandise: Guests at Blue Water campgrounds can purchase pink t-shirts and other limited-edition merchandise, with all proceeds benefiting breast cancer research and supporting organizations.
• Camping Away Cancer: At select Blue Water properties, General Managers will be camping out for a night to raise money for cancer research! Guests can donate to upgrade the managers' camping experience via sleeping bags or an air mattress, with the funds going directly to the Burbage Regional Cancer Care Center.
• Blue Wears Pink Day: Every Friday, starting September 27th, Blue Water team members across each of their properties will wear pink and capture the spirit of the day by sharing photos on social media. This visual show of support will spread a powerful message of hope and continue to raise awareness.
• Fundraising Initiatives: Properties will host pink-themed 5K runs, bake sales, and other interactive events, with all proceeds supporting the campaign. Additionally, Blue Water's booking websites will feature a dedicated donation option, allowing guests to contribute to the cause regardless of their travel date.
• Community Engagement: Blue Water encourages guests and team members to share their stories and messages of support on social media using the hashtag #BlueTurnsPink, helping to educate and inspire their online community.

"As a company, we understand that cancer affects everyone—our guests, employees, vendors, and their families," said Todd Burbage, CEO of Blue Water Development. "Supporting causes like breast cancer awareness is not just a campaign; it's a reflection of our commitment to making a meaningful impact on the lives of those connected to Blue Water. By coming together, we aim to bring hope, support, and critical resources to those who need it most."

The AGH Foundation supports the Atlantic General Hospital in providing top-tier healthcare services to the local community, including breast cancer screenings and treatment. The Magic Yarn Project creates soft, handmade yarn wigs for children battling cancer, bringing joy and comfort during their fight. The Breast Cancer Research Center is dedicated to funding innovative research that aims to find a cure and improve the lives of those affected by breast cancer.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- White Castle has given its customer loyalty program a revamp, and the iconic family-owned Slider chain is excited to see how its customers respond.

The new Craver Nation^® Rewards adds a points system and a tiers element to Craver Nation, the customer loyalty program that White Castle introduced in 2019. Members can now earn points by purchasing menu items and by completing quests, such as trying new menu items or visiting Castles during late-night when the Crave sometimes hits the hardest.

As points are earned, members progress through three levels in the app — Adventurer, Champion and Legend — unlocking new quests, rewards and badges at each level.

There are several quests available with each tier of the Craver Nation Rewards, and members earn badges and rewards, such as offers and points, upon completion. The badges, in particular, give the loyalty program a game-like quality, which White Castle believes will make it more engaging for members.

"We're not using the typical earn-and-burn strategy where customers simply earn points and exchange them for rewards," said Aaron Lahman, digital marketing manager at White Castle. "While this newest iteration of our program still offers rewards, it lends itself to more engagement with our Cravers. It's more like a game where they complete quests to earn badges and unlock new tiers to get special perks, rewards and exclusive benefits not available to nonmembers."

New members of Craver Nation Rewards will get $5 off their first mobile order. Existing members get 20% off their first mobile order. All members will also have access to exclusive offers around memorable moments and seasonal promotions, including a free dessert on a stick during their birthday month. Craver Nation Rewards is currently offering members two free small soft drinks with the purchase of a Cheesy 10 Sack.

Understanding the behaviors and preferences of its Cravers contributed to crafting an enhanced version of the original Craver Nation. This insight has enabled White Castle to create an updated loyalty program that it anticipates will have broad appeal to and adoption among its customers.

"We recognize not all White Castle customers crave the same way, which is why we're introducing a refreshed loyalty program that offers value and motivation to customers who want to get perks for joining, earn value through their spending, and show their fandom by earning badges through quest completions," Lahman said. "Our customers are more than just transactions. Even though they have such passion for our brand, they have a lot of choices. So, connecting with them in this way will help us stand out from the crowd."

A $7.99 Value Deal with a Side of Nostalgia

White Castle is taking a bite out of inflation and getting heavy-handed with value with the 10 Cheese Sliders for just $7.99 deal ($8.99 on the East Coast and in Arizona). You don't need a DeLorean to take advantage of this lower price that matches 2011 menu prices.

The 10 for $7.99 deal is a price that's less than what most fast-food chains are charging for an individual combo meal, and it emphasizes founder Billy Ingram's belief that every family is deserving of the chance to enjoy hot, tasty and affordable food from a restaurant.

Enjoy the Cheesy 10 Sack as a shared lunch, dinner or late-night snack

NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Acclaimed freshly made food and organic coffee chain, Pret A Manger, today announced that it is partnering with digital workplace pioneer YOOBIC to support its frontline teams and power its ambitious global expansion plans. By deploying YOOBIC's game-changing suite of tools across 525 shops in 15 international markets, Pret is empowering its fast-growing global team to deliver consistently excellent brand experiences while prioritising customer and employee safety at every step of the way.

Over the next 3 to 5 years, Pret plans to double its total footprint to more than 1,000 shops through a growing global network of franchise partnerships. While rapid expansion brings challenges, there is no room for compromise or inconsistency when it comes to brand standards, customer and employee safety, or Pret's hard-won reputation for serving freshly prepared food in clean and welcoming environments.

That's where YOOBIC comes in. By bringing to life some of Pret's extensively documented standard operating procedures into a unified virtual hub, YOOBIC gives frontline teams immediate access to the digital tools and information they need to succeed — while enabling senior leaders to maintain full visibility into and control over its global operations.

From routine cleaning to brand standards to compliance with health and hygiene regulations, YOOBIC now ensures that every Pret team member at every level knows exactly what Pret expectations are. Already, Pret's team members are using YOOBIC to monitor and manage over 65,000 monthly tasks across the company's network of shops, with full tracking of task completion, follow-up action items, and compliance rates.

"Our customers expect the best possible experience each and every time they shop with us, and YOOBIC helps us provide that consistently at both directly operated and franchised locations," explains Mark Corney, Pret's Global Operations Development Director. "Quality and safety are paramount at Pret, and partnering with YOOBIC enables us to expand with confidence while empowering both fresh hires and seasoned team members to deliver amazing experiences for our customers."

YOOBIC's digital task management helps employees stay on top of daily duties, allowing them to easily access information via their mobile devices, keep abreast of new procedures or promotions, and complete tasks more efficiently. By treating frontline team members as valued knowledge workers, YOOBIC helps Pret make food service a career to be proud of and gives every employee the tools they need to create value and share insights and feedback with their peers and supervisors.

The YOOBIC hub also gives shops and regional managers real-time visibility into key shop tasks, ensuring that best practices can be identified and scaled, and that any problems are quickly spotted and remedied. Alerts can be quickly pushed out to all affected locations when tasks are needed to be completed quickly. Additional checks can be included to ensure teams consistently meet Pret's rigorous standards for hygiene, health and safety, environmental impact, and more. Take, for instance, the routine temperature checks on produce items that must take place multiple times a day — with YOOBIC, team leaders can establish automated alerts and recourse plans to ensure prompt action is taken if temperatures ever slip out of recommended ranges.

"When it comes to food service, there's no room for error. Providing safe, hygienic, and brand-appropriate experiences requires meticulous attention to detail from every single frontline team member — and that's the challenge that YOOBIC helps to solve," explains Fabrice Haiat, YOOBIC CEO and co-founder. "We're thrilled to be working with Pret to support their frontline teams, and to provide the visibility and consistency needed to fuel their ambitious global expansion plans."

First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights, Comparisons Versus Same Fiscal Quarter Last Year

• Total sales increased 1.0% to $2.8 billion, driven by sales from 42 net new restaurants, partially offset by a blended same-restaurant sales* decrease of (1.1)%
• Same-restaurant sales:

• Reported diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.74
• Excluding $0.01 of Chuy's transaction and integration related costs, adjusted diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.75, a decrease of (1.7)%**
• The Company repurchased $172 million of its outstanding common stock

"We operate in a very dynamic, competitive industry and we have proven we can successfully navigate challenging environments due to our strategy," said Darden President & CEO Rick Cardenas. "While we fell short of our expectations for the first quarter, I firmly believe in the strength of our business. I am confident in the actions all our brand teams are taking to address their guests' needs, which do not compromise the long-term health of our business for short-term benefits."

Segment PerformanceSegment profit represents sales, less costs for food and beverage, restaurant labor, restaurant expenses and marketing expenses. Segment profit excludes non-cash real estate related expenses. From the date of acquisition forward, sales and profits from Ruth's Chris company-owned restaurants are included within the Fine Dining segment. Royalties from Ruth's Chris franchise and managed locations reside in the Other Business segment.

Dividend DeclaredDarden's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.40 per share on the Company's outstanding common stock. The dividend is payable on November 1, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 10, 2024.

Share Repurchase ProgramDuring the quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares of its common stock for a total of  $172 million.  As of the end of the fiscal first quarter, the Company had $743 million remaining under the current $1 billion repurchase authorization.

Fiscal 2025 Financial OutlookThe Company reiterated all aspects of its full year financial outlook for fiscal 2025, culminating in diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations of $9.40 to $9.60, which does not include any impact from Chuy's operations, transaction, financing and integration related costs associated with the pending acquisition.

"The significant step down in traffic during July, led to our first quarter earnings being lower than expected," said Darden CFO Raj Vennam. "Following the softness in July, our sales trend has continued to improve.  Considering this recovery as well as the planned initiatives to support the remainder of the fiscal year, we are reiterating our guidance for fiscal 2025."

Duni Group wants to consolidate all storage, fulfillment of distribution and value-added services within one location in Germany. With current warehouse facilities in Bramsche/Osnabruck, the Group plans to establish a new warehouse hub in the close-by area of Meppen. The warehouse in Meppen is today an industrial site with good and suitable infrastructure. A new greenfield development will be established for a modern warehouse and distribution center designed to meet Duni Group's requirements and fit for purpose.

"The new warehouse in Meppen will be transformational to Duni Group's logistics solution in Europe. The redesign of the warehouse will enhance competitiveness and scalability as well as contributing to our net zero target", says Johan Crusefalk, Chief Logistics & Technology Officer.

Part of the solution is to engage in a strategic cooperation with CEVA Logistics, which is a leading end-to-end logistics company spanning 170 countries and having a track-record of modernizing warehouse hubs in Europe and worldwide. CEVA Logistics will also facilitate distribution in and out of the new warehouse hub. Any restructuring costs and efficiency savings in relation to the new logistics solution will be accounted for in the Group's financial reporting. 

The site in Bramsche/Osnabruck will continue to be an important production hub for Duni Group and maintain the full-pallet outbound of all produced articles at the site.
