Golden Spoon Unveils New Website to Revitalize Brand

Leave a comment

Golden Spoon unveiled their hip new website highlighting the chain’s Southern California roots, it’s famous creamy taste, and even the frozen yogurt’s health benefits.

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA (USA), Saturday – April 14, 2012 — Golden Spoon, the popular Southern California frozen yogurt company, unveiled their hip new website highlighting the chain’s Southern California roots, it’s famous creamy taste, and even the frozen yogurt’s health benefits. “We’ve only just begun to renew our brand and bring it back to life; the website is a reflection of what is to come,” said Golden Spoon’s CEO Roger Clawson.

Golden Spoon is Southern California’s original frozen yogurt. The look of the new website is simple and fresh, just like their ingredients, with classic Southern California beach images highlighting Golden Spoon’s heritage. It started in 1981 as a remodel of a health food store in Tustin, California, and has grown into a worldwide brand with an extremely loyal following. You can read all about the journey in the “About Us” ( http://www.goldenspoon.com/about-golden-spoon/our-story ) section on the site.

The website spotlights the healthy attributes of Golden Spoon’s product made with real fruit and real milk, including full nutritional information for both low-fat and non-fat flavors ( http://www.goldenspoon.com/golden-spoon-health/nutritional-facts ). Another handy feature allows you to compare the nutritional value ( http://www.goldenspoon.com/golden-spoon-health/health-benefits ) of Golden Spoon frozen yogurt to other foods such as ice cream, granola bars and smoothies.

The website is also a great place to find out about new flavors ( http://www.goldenspoon.com/golden-spoon-menu/flavors ) and new additions, like the new eco-friendly yogurt cups ( http://www.goldenspoon.com/about-golden-spoon/giving-back ), which biodegrade in only 21 days. Along with the new design and eco-friendly cups, Golden Spoon is also introducing a revolutionary new pricing method, one without scales. Most competing frozen yogurt stores provide one over-sized cup for customers to fill with yogurt and toppings, and the cup is priced based on the total weight. You never know what your dessert will cost you until it is too late, and it’s very easy to go over-budget.

Golden Spoon is changing all that with an innovative, industry-first pricing structure they have trademarked as “Weightless Pricing.” ( http://www.goldenspoon.com/about-golden-spoon/service-model-pricing ) Customers pay a single, fixed price for one of three cup sizes, then fill it with as much yogurt and as many toppings as they wish. Three stores, including Irvine, La Costa and Carlsbad, will launch the new store concept on May 12, 2012 with free yogurt all day.

And, if all the flavors and toppings are not enough variety, customers can also choose their service level. Tell a Golden Spoon “concierge” employee what you have in mind, and then relax as they swirl your yogurt and bring it to your table. Or, you can opt for a “hands-on” experience and create your own masterpiece.

“My father, Jeff Barnes, is the founder of Golden Spoon. Since I can remember, the stores have always looked the same,” said Reed Barnes, Golden Spoon’s Director of Training. “As an owner of two stores, including the original Golden Spoon location in Lake Forest, I love the new direction, the new look and the new store concept. It couldn’t be a better time to be a part of Golden Spoon Franchising.”

About Golden Spoon Franchising:
Golden Spoon, the popular Rancho Santa Margarita, California based frozen yogurt chain, is the premier retailer and producer of frozen yogurt in the industry. Founded in 1983, Golden Spoon has spent years earning its reputation as a premium non-fat, low-calorie frozen treat that tastes like ice cream and promotes a healthy lifestyle. As a result, it is the leading brand of soft-serve frozen yogurt in Southern California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, the Philippines, Japan, and now in Qatar. Some of the 80 proprietary recipes include Old-Fashioned Vanilla, Just Chocolate, Iced Café de Leche and Simply Tart. Golden Spoon’s frozen yogurts bridge the gap between indulgent treats and healthful snacking. For more information, please visit http://www.goldenspoon.com.

R&B Legend Bunny Sigler Releases From Bunny with Love

Leave a comment

Featuring The New Single, “Nobody Else For Me” Due Out April 17, 2012

Los Angeles, CA, April 14, 2012 – The legendary, the soulful, the masterful, Mr. Emotion, Walter “Bunny” Sigler releases his latest R&B album From Bunny With Love, featuring the single “Nobody Else For Me” and is available on CD Baby, iTunes and on Bunny’s website on April 17 (http://www.bunnysigler.net/home.cfm).

Walter “Bunny” Sigler learned the power of music and the emotional quality of funk as a child, in the Emmanuel Baptist church in Philadelphia, PA. While still in his adolescence, Bunny, his brother and two other young men made up The Opals, his first vocal and musical group. Since then Sigler is a four-time Grammy award winner and nominee who has been a writer, producer or recording artist on thousands of recorded CDs. He is known internationally as a great performer and orignator of the Philly Sound for Gamble & Huff, and for his portrayal of the title role in Verdi’s Othello, at the Biennale Festival in Venice, Italy.

His work with Leon Huff and Kenny Gamble was instrumental in the development of The Philadelphia Sound and the distinction genre known as “Philly Soul”, as well as the climb to R&B legacy that Philadelphia International Records experienced since the 1960s. He has over four decades of multi-gold and platinum recordings both as a writer and producer for artists like The O’Jays, Jackie Moore, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Barbara Mason, Billy Paul, Lou Rawls, Patti LaBelle and Stephanie Mills.

More recently, The Roots, Outkast, and Mary J. Blige are among a few arists who have all used Bunny Sigler’s music. Nelly’s 2002 smash hit, “Dilemma” was co-written by Bunny and for ten weeks it replaced Nelly’s previous #1 from that year, “Hot In Herre” on charts throughout the world. He also co-wrote “The Ruler’s Back”, the opening song on the widely respected and critically acclaimed album The Blueprint by Jay-Z.

The twelve original tracks on this newest album, From Bunny With Love are evidence that Bunny remains a musical and creative powerhouse. From the melodious and heartfelt “My Sweet Lorraine” to the furtive “Unspoken Words,” which expresses the widely familliar pains of a growing, father-child relationship. The captivating single, “Nobody Else for Me” speaks of finding that right someone and holding on to her through all of life’s detours. Hear Bunny’s sweet emotion with the lyrics of “I Wish”: a universal prayer for peace and better times in the world. To close out the album Bunny bestows his infinitismal funk and groove upon his listeners with “Face The Music,” to leave them with a reminder that as long as we have music to be sung or beats to be heard the heart of Philly will play out forever.

So sit back, relax and feel the love, funk, and soul as only Bunny Sigler can perform with his gift to you “From Bunny With Love.”

FPL Partners with Indian River State College to Launch Brown Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Leave a comment

“Since the program was developed, we have hired over 60 trained individuals and promoted 24 existing employees because of the skills and knowledge they gained here at IRSC,” Mano Nazar, FPL’s Nuclear Division executive vice president and chief nuclear officer.

Juno Beach, FL (April 13, 2012) — The next generation of FPL nuclear technicians and engineers could very well get their start at Indian River State College’s (IRSC) new Brown Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

The $21.5 million, 65,000 square foot facility at IRSC’s Ft. Pierce campus represents a unique partnership between the college and local business partners, including FPL.

The Brown Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship will focus on educational programs in alternative energy and sustainability. Students will learn how to produce biofuels, construct photovoltaic solar cells, experiment with light technologies, and gain hands-on experience in all aspects of energy efficient building construction.

The center will also feature a nuclear simulator complete with a control room that will help train students to work at Florida Power & Light’s St. Lucie or Turkey Point nuclear power plants. The college received a $3.1 million grant from the National Science Foundation to train instructors who will then train students.

The program includes a partnership of schools from 18 states.

FPL donated equipment so students can get real-life experience in a controlled environment.

“I think it’s going to play a big part moving into the future,” IRSC President Ed Massey told Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers. “By housing the nuclear energy program and the power plant operations program in partnership with Florida Power & Light, again it is meeting a high demand need in our area and putting people in high skill, high-wage paying jobs available in that industry.”

The Brown Center represents an extension of the partnership FPL has built with IRSC over the past six years, helping to train students in nuclear technology and place them in jobs immediately following graduation.

“Our partnership with IRSC has been a win-win,” said Mano Nazar, FPL’s Nuclear Division executive vice president and chief nuclear officer. “Since the program was developed in 2006 in partnership with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and IRSC, we have hired over 60 trained individuals and promoted 24 existing employees because of the skills and knowledge they gained here at IRSC. This is a great example of how an innovative partnership like this one can really make a difference.”

Leave a comment

ABIBA Systems, a leading provider of telecom Business Intelligence and Analytics software solutions, has said it is further expanding its channel partner eco-system in Africa, Europe & Middle East in order to meet the business demand for its solutions in these regions amongst telecom operators

He added that ABIBA has a robust pipeline, and forecast for the year 2012-2013 is very positive for its product and service portfolio. “We believe the African continent is poised for telecom challenges like falling ARPUs, intense competition and hence the demand for evolved BI & Analytics”. Sathya added that currently ABIBA’s sales are buoyant and its pipeline for both software and services is good despite the global spending pattern having altered from what it was a few years ago. “We expect this trend to be slightly different for Africa where we can see healthy demand and potential growth for our solutions going forward”.

He said the company, through the ABIBA Channel Partner Network Program, provides a solid foundation for partners committed to excellence and customer satisfaction. According to Sathya, ABIBA Systems provides a comprehensive sales and marketing support program that offers its partners significant opportunities to grow and widen their portfolio in the telecom domain.
