Joolies, California-based grower of organic medjool dates, introduces a new way to date medjools with Jooliettes. Watch out Romeo, you'll fall in love fast with these diced organic medjool dates panned in high-quality chocolate with a fresh twist on a traditional snack. Jooliettes Dark Chocolate Date Nibbles are the latest innovation in the dried fruit category, making dates more fun and approachable. Coming in three varieties including Blood Orange Dark Chocolate, Sea Salt Dark Chocolate, and Matcha Dark Chocolate offering two different retail sizes; 2oz pillow pouch and a 4oz resealable stand-up pouch.

‍

Chocolate and medjool dates are a widely loved combination and Jooliettes date nibbles are the perfect bite-sized indulgence to satisfy your sweet tooth. The date nibbles are also Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Vegan, and Kosher. With three different flavors, there is one for everyone! Sea Salt Dark Chocolate is for the chocolate lover, who likes to keep it simple with sea salt, dark chocolate, and Joolies dates. Matcha Dark Chocolate bring a subtle kick of Matcha balanced with delicious dark chocolate and Joolies in every bite. Blood Orange Dark Chocolate brings a refreshing citrus profile to the date center and chocolate to deliver a robust, worldly combo. They can be a convenient on-the-go snack, mid-day treat or topper to yogurt, oatmeal or ice-cream.

‍

Jooliettes do not use confectioners glaze or shellac, a common coating on candy, because it is derived from insect secretions and is not Vegan. It is important that Joolies is natural and therefore they have brought this across the product line to Jooliettes. Both Jooliettes sizes are made with sustainable material consisting of up 21-28% post-consumer recycled material.

‍

Joolies co-founder, David Kohl, has farmed organic medjool dates for nearly two decades in the Coachella Valley. For maximum quality, each date is hand-picked and packaged at peak ripeness and never dried or rehydrated. Because of Joolies dedication to organic living and sustainability, no harmful pesticides, herbicides or fungicides are used during the growing process. Over the last three years, Joolies has grown its portfolio of medjool date products, including whole dates, pit free dates and date syrups, into 4,000 retail locations across the US and international markets.

‍

"We are super excited to be launching Jooliettes!  Our goal is to create products that we love and crave with the idea that our consumers will love them too; and who doesn't love the idea of a date nibble coated in dark chocolate!" says, CEO Mark Masten. "We've sampled the product at several tradeshows over the last few months and have been loved by both consumers and trade members alike. The Blood Orange seems to be a fan favorite so far."

‍

Jooliettes 2oz bags are available now at Albertsons Southern California division stores, including Vons and Pavillions and Jooliettes 4oz bag will be available nationwide starting in September through Thrive Market. Joolies will be exhibiting at booth 4177 at Natural Products Expo East, where attendees will be able to sample all of the Jooliettes flavors, existing products and date innovation.

While Martin Pierce's fascination with nature may not be news worthy the inventive story line and fantastical bronze sculptures it supports, most certainly is. The new collection represents a departure from the stricter realism of his hardware and furniture designs. Realism is still focal to his new wasp, cricket, and beetle sculptures for as Pierce puts it "these creatures are inherently beautiful so nothing is to be gained by distorting or obscuring their form." Faced with a world "where insects lack the social and environmental importance they deserve and where humans dominate the planet with demands that are contrary to the wellbeing of other species," Pierce and his wife, Anne, decided to create an alternative narrative. In this fictional world through sculpture and paintings Pierce reverses the relative size of humans to insects making the former diminutive and the latter giants. The fictional scale gives rise to a new relationship and the adversarial human is reinvented as an insect loving humanoid. While the dynamic between these 2 species is evolving, it is based an agrarian lifestyle where both farm together and jointly partake in the fruits of their labors.

‍

The sculptures are being released carefully to ensure that each creature's physical characteristics and abilities are accurately depicted in the story line. The dung beetle is the most recent piece and is first being released as a free-standing giant in a bronze edition of 30 pieces. As Anne Pierce explains "there will be other dung beetles in the collection that will show these remarkable creatures competing with others in an annual race or as parents rolling the brood ball backwards with portals into the baby dung beetle chambers." Currently Anne and Martin are designing the dung ball that they visualize as textural and possibly with educational tiles.

‍

To create the pattern for the first dung beetle, Martin studied the blue horned rhinoceros beetle under a magnifying glass "to get a better understanding of how this ½" long beetle extends and bends it's segmented legs, retracts and conceals it's antenna and how it's body parts can be expressively positioned. I felt that I had to understand the anatomical and mechanical function of this beautiful creature if I was to portray it as an athlete, parent and master of rolling dung balls." As Anne Pierce puts it "you can only think like a fictional dung beetle once you have seen his real-life cousin."

Expanding to the West Coast is the next phase in Kaiyo's mission of making great furniture accessible to everyone and sustainable for the planet and comes on the heels of success throughout the Northeast, including in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C.

‍

"Furniture is one of the largest waste categories in the U.S., meaning millions of pounds of furniture ends up in landfills each year. As a company rooted in sustainability, we believe that's unacceptable, which is why this expansion means so much to us. Since launching, we have successfully kept more than three million pounds of furniture out of landfills, and with our West Coast launch, we look forward to accelerating that number," said Alpay Koralturk, Founder and CEO of Kaiyo. "Put simply, Kaiyo takes the hassle and headache out of making a sustainable choice, and we are proud to continue our rapid expansion across the country."

Kaiyo also provides sellers with an Instant Offer immediately after their pickup appointment, a first-of-its-kind feature that allows them to cash out without waiting for their item to sell.

‍

Most recently, Kaiyo raised $36 million in Series B bringing Kaiyo's funding to nearly $50M, and has plans for continued geographic expansion. By growing to new markets and making it fast and convenient to buy or sell furniture, Kaiyo hopes to encourage greater participation in the circular economy.

Inspired culinary artist Chanel Murphy-Lowe, founder and CEO of My Fabulous Food, is taking the retail industry by storm. The fashion forward foodie's ultra-luxe sea salt gift sets made their debut on shelves at Bergdorf Goodman in the exclusive Midtown Manhattan district and are launching online at Nordstrom and Saks Off Fifth in August of this year.

‍

These upscale retailers known for stocking exclusive merchandise for the most discerning tastes have opened their doors to Chanel's wares. Nordstrom, a century-old retailer with a nose for what's trending, was the first to sign the progressive Fifteen Percent Pledge to help Black businesses thrive. Chanel is proud to say her African American, female-owned luxury brand is represented at these prestigious venues.

‍

Chanel is reimagining the rich spice market through My Fabulous Food. According to Mrs. Murphy-Lowe, "I have merged fashion with food – literally. My mission is to create products that are healthy for you and are beautiful enough to display in your kitchen." The 5'8" fashionista merges her eye for high style with cuisine, bringing haute couture into the kitchen. My Fabulous Food's products make the perfect gift for special occasions and holidays. Those who appreciate and enjoy the finer things will be impressed with their flavor and luxurious packaging. Home chefs and food aficionados will be especially drawn to these lavish products for their own kitchen.

‍

Chanel's gourmet gambles are taking her places where even the "Queen of All Media" noticed her blends. Chanel launched the My Fabulous Food seasoning line in 2018, and in just two years, her Luxury Black Lava and Alaea Sea Salt gift set was named one of Oprah's Favorite Things. To quote Oprah in her December 2020 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, "The red grains in alaea salt get their color from baked clay and make a fine finish for any dish, while the dark grains in black lava salt come from volcanic charcoal, whose smokiness complements grilled steak. This duo is literally the salt of the earth.''

Affinity Creative Group partnered with Shannon Family of Wines (SFW) to launch the "Build Your Buck Shack" omnichannel campaign. The campaign features a sweepstakes where one grand prize winner will have their own home bar designed by one of two renowned DIY influencers, Nate Halverson and Tayrn Whiteaker, along with a generous gift card to make it all happen. The "Build Your Buck Shack" campaign comprises digital marketing, a campaign microsite, retail and on-premise activation, influencer marketing, social media content and advertising, photography, and video.

‍

What is a Buck Shack? The original Buck Shack was a 100-year-old hunting shack nestled deep in the vineyards of Shannon Family of Wines, located in Lake County, California. SFW remodeled and restored the weathered tin structure into a rustic bar where its team can gather after a long day working in the vineyards to unwind, share stories, and exercise bad judgment. Inspired by everything the Buck Shack represents, Buck Shack wines go hand-in-hand with close friends, good times, and no regrets.

‍

"One key to a successful campaign is a sweepstakes that is a direct expression of the brand's personality. 'Build Your Buck Shack' offers anyone the chance to create a space in their own homes where they can gather with friends and family, and truly be themselves. The huge response shows that the chance to win your own custom-designed home bar is resonating powerfully. After all, who wouldn't want their own Buck Shack?" – Christopher Hayes, Creative Director, Affinity Creative Group.

‍

Running through September 30, 2022, to date the omnichannel campaign and sweepstakes have garnered almost 15,000 entries and a significant increase in social media engagement, interest and followers for Shannon Family of Wines, all contributing to burgeoning awareness and enthusiasm for the Buck Shack brand and its ultra-premium, no pretense, bourbon barrel-aged wines.

‍

"We're excited to introduce Buck Shack wines to new consumers across the country. This omnichannel campaign covers all the bases with point-of-sale support, a fun and engaging campaign microsite, incredibly talented DIY artisans and influencers like Nate and Taryn, and the sweepstakes. We're thrilled with the current results and can't wait to see what the next few months will bring." – Brett Scallan, Vice President of Marketing, Shannon Family of Wines.

Dogily is the first matching dog and human accessories brand that doesn't compromise style. With a mission to provide fashionably elevated premium silk pet accessories that are comfortable and timeless.

‍

From its inception, Dogily has always focused on developing the highest quality matching scarf sets so people and their pets can become the most stylish duo on the block. High-end fashion is no longer limited to humans but to our four-legged friends, too. The lack of upscale petwear options in the pet industry is the reason Dogily began.

‍

"As dog-lovers, we were tired of seeing the same cheap-quality and lower-end fashion pet accessories that didn't make us or our dog's look or feel good. We want to empower people to view pet accessories differently as something that can be high-quality and stylish," said Cindy Lee, Director of Marketing.

‍

Dogily also puts a lot of their efforts into creating a product that is comfortable that people and their dogs will love to wear. Most pet wear brands use thick rough polyester/nylon-made pet bandanas. Concerned about the poor quality of pet accessories in the market, Dogily promised to only serve the finest quality items. This launched their debut collection made out of the luxurious and velvety-soft natural fabric — Silk, offering pet owners and their pets the softest touch.

‍

Silk is known for its durability, it's comfortability, and so much more.

‍

"Silk has long been one of the most luxurious fabrics available, and is known both for its beauty and its amazing benefits to your health and beauty." — MyKSilk

‍

Another added benefit of silk, aside from being extremely soft, is that it's one of the only fabrics, when put in the wash, that doesn't shed microplastics into the environment. Making it a safer fabric for not only humans and pets, but for Mother Nature too.

‍

Dogily takes every aspect of their business into consideration when focusing on supporting a cleaner, greener world. That's why their packaging is made with non-plastic materials in order to cause less harm to our planet. Dogily solely uses sustainable materials which are eco-friendly in production to reduce waste and pollutants.

‍

Outside of providing new insights to the fashion world, Dogily is taking the initiative in making an impact on society and the world by partnering with i=Change to donate 1USD of every sale to women, environmental and animal projects.

Ale's transformative experience with psilocybin after having suffered an eating disorder and Jennifer's passion for the health benefits of mushrooms brought them together to create SHROOMBOOM a wellness and lifestyle brand centered around mushroom-based innovations in beauty, health, food, fashion, sustainability, and more.

‍

"Our mission with SHROOMBOOM is to educate the world about the power of mushrooms," said Alejandra. "We are doing this by using our magazine 'The Boom', collaborating with mission-aligned artists, thinkers, creators, brands, and offering our own shroom-based wellness and beauty products to as many people as possible!"

PJ's Coffee of New Orleans, the coffeehouse known for its "southern hospitality" experience, the freshest products, and better beans with superior roasting technique, has announced its annual Veteran Franchise License Giveaway, which was most recently awarded to a husband and wife team, Kyle and Jen McElhaney.

‍

The franchise believes in brewing up small business opportunities for military veterans, who are looking to join the ever-growing $100 billion a year global coffee industry. PJ's Coffee seeks hardworking, passionate applicants who align with its core values of delivering best-in-class coffee with the highest regards to service and hospitality.

‍

"With many of our previous veteran franchisees, we've seen a seamless transition from military life to entrepreneurship, so we started this initiative to attract like-minded individuals to our concept, and as a way of saying 'thank you for your service,'" said Ryan Stansbury, PJ's Coffee Vice President of Franchise Development. "We've found that our veteran franchisees have an extra attention to detail and level of care when it comes to how they present themselves and our brand."

‍

In April 2022, Kyle and Jennifer executed a multi-unit option agreement to own and operate two PJ's Coffee locations within the Memphis area, with the first unit scheduled to open by the end of 2022. After that, the pair would like to introduce about a dozen locations to the tri-state area. Kyle attended the University of Mississippi ROTC and then served as an Army Officer and helicopter pilot for 8 and a half years. He piloted an AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter, and was deployed to Jalalabad, Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom from 2010-2011. He then spent two years in the Mississippi National Guard where he left service at the rank of Major. Kyle then became a military recruiter for Northern Kansas before going to work for ADP, and eventually opening his own businesses.

‍

"I am incredibly fortunate to have been awarded this opportunity," said Kyle. "As coffee consumers in the community, once we tried the product, we knew there was a need for this. We're thrilled to be the ones to debut PJ's menu offerings and family-like atmosphere in Memphis."

‍

The couple are heavily involved within their community and have owned and operated several businesses. Together, they have invested in high demand concepts throughout Memphis, including a logistics company, a full-service interior design support business and a fleet cleaning business.

‍

The PJ's Coffee brand is passionate about giving back to the veteran community in any way it can. The company is a five-star VetFran member, proudly offering qualified veterans a 20 percent discount on the initial franchise fee.

‍

The company also ranked No. 48 within the 2022 Fast Casual Top 100 Movers & Shakers list of innovative restaurant brands and executives shaping the fast casual segment. The judges look at profitability, growth, innovation, nimbleness and creativity.

The celebrated Minneapolis-based home furnishing and décor brand Blu Dot will debut its first complete bedding collection — a carefully curated line of sheets and bed coverings that marks a major move into the soft goods market for the company. This new collection continues the brand's quarter-century commitment to simple, fresh, modern design that is high-quality yet accessible, while also signaling a willingness to expand and engage with new audiences. Affordably priced from $125 - $325 the collection will be available starting July 11 online at bludot.com and in-stores for home delivery.

‍

"At Blu Dot we have always offered bedroom furniture, and many of our products feature smart, cozy fabrics, so bedding seemed a natural next step. This collection fits perfectly and naturally complements our existing bedroom assortment,'" said John Christakos, co-founder and CEO of Blu Dot. "It marks a significant expansion for our brand, and one that we excitedly embrace as part of our continued twenty-five-year mission to bring original designs to as many people's homes as possible."

‍

The new bedding line includes Blu Dot's first ever sheets in Egyptian Cotton Percale and Stone Washed Linen to an assortment of duvets, quilts, and throws. The collection's high-quality cotton and soft linens are effortlessly worn in and softer than soft, providing a laid-back vibe and luxurious comfort. Soft textures in an assortment of shades offer a wealth of possible combinations for a personalized touch.

‍

Blu Dot's bedding collection continues the company's tradition of risk-taking when it comes to color. Rather than the traditional pastel options, the collection features bold, saturated hues that add a pop of color to any room. The textures were developed to accent the quality of the fabric through details such as Popple's textured finish or Ripple's elegant stitching details. Each piece was made in a long-standing, family-owned mill in Portugal that respects the culture's time-honored techniques while using modern technologies.

"Black founders are filled with ideas and dreams that sometimes die with them," Ezinne Iroanya, founder and CEO of SKNMUSE explains. "That is why initiatives like Cantu Elevate and BrainTrust Founders Studio are important. They provide resources for companies like mine to thrive on fertile soil."

‍

Each founder in the competition participated in masterclasses led by Cantu and its partner agencies — BrainTrust, The Sasha Group, and Reddish — to strengthen their business and marketing acumen and subsequently grow their budding businesses. The finalists then advanced in the selection process through their engaging pitches presented live and virtually at the BTFS Founders House last weekend in New Orleans. Cantu and BTFS awarded finalists Rachel Lambo, founder of Sade Baron, and Kim Roxie, founder of Lamik Beauty, $10,000 grants, in addition to $1,000 grants to the remaining five competitors for their participation, for a total of $45,000 awarded throughout the program.

A normal year for the relatively young California non-profit, Seven Seas Press, includes the release of one or two new children's book titles. In year five, creativity and production expanded and exploded into an exponential number of new releases!

‍

Hot off the press, "Makana is a Gift," by award-winning author Janet Lucy, illustrated by Alexis Cantu, is the story of a little green sea turtle's quest for identity and purpose, and an all too common life threatening encounter with a plastic bag he mistakes for a jellyfish.

‍

In collaboration with nearby Goleta Valley Library's summer reading program themed, "Oceans of Possibilities," Seven Seas Press brings a message of hope and empowerment to children who see themselves in Makana, and also want to do their part to protect the undersea world from the perils of plastic.

‍

Seven Seas Press has launched an Indiegogo fundraiser to gift 400 books to the children participating in the library's Summer Reading Program at the "Summer Splash" event. Seven Seas Press and the Goleta Valley Library share a passion for children's books, and the power of public libraries to reach young readers.

‍

Seven Seas Press Executive Director, Erika Romer says, "With 'Makana is a Gift' we hope to inspire a new generation of readers to become curious about the ocean and its inhabitants, and most importantly that children and their families become passionate about helping to protect our oceans."

‍

Seven Seas Press's fundraiser will run through July. Books may also be purchased while donating books through the campaign.  See link below for more information:

‍

Marcos Martinez, City of Goleta Spanish Engagement Specialist and translator of the bilingual "Makana es un Regalo" says, "Literacy isn't just important, it's transformative."

‍

"Makana is a Gift" is endorsed by Mary J. Donohue, Ph.D., Marine Biologist and Ocean Plastics Expert, University of Hawai'i at Mānoa:

‍

"An undersea fable of self-discovery, punctuated by the tragedy of ocean plastic pollution, all set against a backdrop of beloved ocean creatures rendered in extraordinary watery splendor."

‍

Author Janet Lucy says, "'Makana is a Gift' offers timely themes of identity and belonging to explore with children, as well as the call to ocean conservation. May we all play a part in protecting these magnificent, magical ocean creatures."

‍

Coming this fall, more new releases:

• "The Crazy Old Maid ~ And How She Became Known as Flora, the Quite Sane, Age Defying Domestic Goddess" and the bilingual "La Solterona Loca," a children's book with themes of living simply and treating others with respect;
  
  
• The Ukrainian/English version of the classic "The Three Sunflowers," a sweet garden allegory that offers support and inner peace for children living in challenging times;
  
  
• In honor of the 20th anniversary of  the publication of "Moon Mother, Moon Daughter - Myths and Rituals that Celebrate a Girl's Coming-of-Age," the release of the companion "Moon Circles Facilitator's Guide" along with a Journal.

WILLY'S INC. has been named to annual Vet100 list—a compilation of the nation's fastest growing veteran-owned or veteran-operated businesses. The ranking, created in partnership with Inc. magazine and Syracuse University's Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF), was born out of the iconic Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies based in the U.S.

‍

Both distinctions are considered hallmarks of entrepreneurial success. Originally established as the Vet50 list, the list was expanded in 2020 to include 100 veteran-owned or veteran-operated businesses in acknowledgement of the growing culture and success of veteran entrepreneurs.

‍

"It is truly an honor to be included in such an elite list of companies from a broad range of industries." says Dave Cole, Willy's Inc.'s Chief Operating Officer. "The last few years have been a struggle for many small businesses. Because of the efforts of a great team and a lot of hard work, Willy's is emerging as a strong company, receiving this award is recognition of that great teamwork!"

‍

Willy's Inc. is a family-owned, refrigerated salsa company that produces Willy's Fresh Salsa in seven delicious flavors. Available in more than 10,000 stores across the nation, Willy's is one of the top five refrigerated salsa companies in the country. During the pandemic Willy's has managed to fill all its customers' orders on-time and in-full despite the labor and supply chain issues many businesses have been experiencing.

‍

"Economic prosperity is so important to so many aspects of American life, from home and main street to even our standing in the world," says Scott Omelianuk, Inc.'s Editor in Chief. "Given that prosperity is driven by small business, and given, we now know, the impact Veteran founders have on that small business, we can only continue to recognize them and say, again, thank you for your service."

‍

"All veteran entrepreneurs bring a unique set of proven skills and knowledge to the business world as a result of their military service," said Mike Haynie, Syracuse University Vice Chancellor and IVMF Founder and Executive Director. "This year's list reflects the grit and resilience veterans demonstrate every day, logging enormous growth amid a dynamically challenging business environment. Our partnership with Inc. magazine is critical to highlighting the success of these veteran-owned businesses."

‍

Vet100 honorees will be formally recognized during the Vet100 Dinner and Awards Ceremony at IVMF's Veteran Entrepreneurship Success Summit in Washington, DC. For more information on the Inc. Vet100 list, visit: https://ivmf.syracuse.edu/Vet100/
