Ori’Zaba’s Scratch Mexican Grill Blazes Into Fall With A New Spicy Guacamole

LAS VEGAS, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- Fall flavors are getting revamped! Move over pumpkin spice, Ori'Zaba's Scratch Mexican grill is turning up the heat on a Mexican classic; available for a limited time, Spicy Guacamole is already a fan favorite.

Ori'Zaba's Scratch Mexican grill, known for their scratch made, super fresh and flavorful menu, has added a kick of heat for fall and winter to their authentic menu. The Spicy Guacamole is an amped up version of Ori'Zaba's traditional guac.

"We brought this Spicy Guacamole back after it debuted last year and guests begged for it to return. The kick of heat from our roasted chipotle chili peppers is phenomenal and is perfect for the fall and winter season," said D.J. Wonnacott-Yahnke, Director of Consumer Product Management.

Scratch made daily with fresh, never frozen, whole avocados, this guacamole packs a punch of heat with a kick. Chipotle chili peppers are roasted in-house at Ori'Zaba's to create an original spicy blend. Red onion, cilantro, fresh lime juice, garlic and chili de arbol meld together for an unforgettable flavor combination.

The guacamole is called spicy for a very good reason. That kick at the end, will give guests a reason to wipe the tears from their eyes and say "Dang, that's good!" Fans will find themselves picking up another chip for a larger dip!

The guacamole can be ordered as a side, appetizer with chips or included as a topping on any entree. It can also be ordered in a larger eight ounce or pint size through catering for pick-up or delivery.

"The original flavor profile of the Spicy Guacamole is what makes Ori'Zaba's unique. We create authentic recipes and add a twist, packing in fresh flavor to every bite," said Lee Cartledge, Director of Operations.

Ori'Zaba's Scratch Mexican Grill specializes in fresh, scratch made Mexican meals and has four locations across the Las Vegas metro area.

Fabricare Launches an Extreme Marketing Campaign For New Service

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- If you're looking to disrupt an industry, you develop a radical marketing campaign that captures the attention of your target audience. LaundryCare by Fabricare is a new service that seeks to do just that.

Fashion has become more casual for many years. And with the recent pandemic causing people to work from home, this trend has accelerated and impacted dry cleaners' businesses across the country.

What's a dry cleaner to do?

Reinvent the service of caring for clothing.

Fabricare Cleaners, a well-established dry cleaners in Fairfield County for over 30 years, has looked at servicing customers' clothes from a fresh perspective. As wardrobes blend together between casual and work, Fabricare seeks to streamline clothing care with ONE bag and ONE low, monthly cost, complete with free pick up & delivery. No sorting, no deciphering labels, no worrying about your dry cleaning or delicates. Customers throw everything into one bag, and Fabricare sorts & cleans each item using their expert knowledge of all fabrics.

How do you launch this exciting new idea for clothing care -- a service that aims to save customers 100 hours each year that's usually spent on doing their laundry?

Introduce Extreme Ironing - a sport that's actually been around for over 20 years.

Extreme Ironing combines the mundane task of clothing care with extreme sports. Hard to believe, but pictures show individuals doing everything from scuba diving to mountain climbing WHILE doing laundry.

What better way to communicate Fabricare's new LaundryCare service? "Yes You Can Do Both" is the theme line for LaundryCare by Fabricare that utilizes crazy images from the sport of Extreme Ironing to clearly convey that trying to do laundry AND these activities is - "EXTREME!"

Kristen Martinez, Director of Marketing for Fabricare, found an amazing photographer when searching for images to use for this edgy campaign: Jack Nichols not only takes amazing photos, but is also an avid extreme iron participant himself! When approached to leverage some of his shots, he was excited to see how his passion fit in with LAUNDRY of all things: "Extreme ironing is about enjoying your favorite extreme activity or sport while still getting your laundry done," says Nichols. "Not everyone wants to haul an ironing board up a rock climb in the middle of the night though, so when Fabricare reached out, I thought it was a great fit!"

If you want to get back 100 hours a year, and leave your laundry to someone else while you enjoy the better things in life, check out LaundryCare by Fabricare at https://laundrycarebyfabricare.net/.

If you're looking to disrupt an industry, you develop a radical marketing campaign that captures the attention of your target audience. LaundryCare by Fabricare is a new service that seeks to do just that.

Sibling Entrepreneurs Billy Wright II and Bree Wright Beat Pandemic Odds Open ‘Plenty of Fish Seafood’ Eatery in the High Desert

LANCASTER, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The dry and arid Antelope Valley region, located right outside of bustling Los Angeles, is not a locale that makes one think of mouthwatering seafood meals. Add the current pandemic to the equation, and the odds seem even more unbeatable. However, two young sibling entrepreneurs had a master plan and stuck to it. Billy Wright II and his sister, Bree Wright recently opened Plenty of Fish Seafood, their first restaurant in a chain of seafood eateries, in Lancaster, Calif., the heart of the valley's high desert!

The astute young visionaries are promising a winning combination of good customer service, fresh food and a squeaky-clean environment that they hope will keep customers coming back for more. The millennial duo was determined not to let the challenges and constrictions of the coronavirus undermine their hopes, plans and dreams and have so far succeeded.

Billy, 24 and Bree, 25, both attended Palmdale High School in the Antelope Valley and share a strong commitment to the region. They reside outside of the area now but wanted to return and create a Black business to serve their former community. Plenty of Fish Seafood will be a licensing and franchise operation, with the Lancaster/Palmdale location serving as home base. The restaurant will feature an outside dining area per current Covid compliance and will focus heavily on takeout and delivery servicing.

Plenty of Fish Seafood is designed to operate beyond the typical "you buy we fry" establishments, and will present a wide variety of comfort cuisine, including enticing seafood, both fried and grilled, along with delicious seafood-based salads. In an effort to support the economy with domestic based employment, all the seafood will be nationally sourced and not imported.

A host of delectable signature side dishes will also grace the menu, including collard greens, potato salad, mouthwatering red beans and rice and an assortment of homemade desserts. The brother and sister team believe that what sets their diner apart from all the rest, however, is their signature batter, a secret recipe mixture handed down from both of their grandmothers, one from Oklahoma and the other from Louisiana!

"Our dad is my biggest inspiration in this venture. I had been working closely with him in a restaurant chain he was involved in, and I made great suggestions that were successfully implemented. Finally, one day he told me that my ideas were too good to be giving away and I should put my money where my mouth was and come up with my own concept and do things my way! I heeded his advice, got my sister on board and went to work on conceptualizing Plenty of Fish Seafood," explains Billy.

"Our dad eventually left the operation he was working with and came to work with us. So, Plenty of Fish Seafood is a family infused business, all the way from the food to the day to day operations," adds Bree. "With so much craziness going on in the world, we feel blessed to have had so much love and support around us during these trying times. Things often seemed bleak, but our Dad remained a stronghold with his wisdom and guidance."

Billy and Bree have their eyes set on the bigger picture. Once Plenty of Fish Seafood in Lancaster is self-sustaining, they will begin licensing other locations throughout targeted cities across the country. For now, they are busy with duties that include managerial tasks to overseeing marketing and advertising for the flagship shop.

"This is a great time for millennial entrepreneurs," adds Billy Wright II. "We were already planning beyond the traditional brick and mortar restaurant even before Covid. My sister and I were already thinking about how far technology will go in the quick service industry. Right now, Plenty of Fish Seafood will be utilizing all the local delivery services, but I believe delivery drones and self-driving cars are the wave of our future and food servicing will be at the forefront of this change."

"In addition, health and wellness is an even more essential concern now," cites Bree. "So, we will eventually offer CBD infused dishes for its healing components."

As the High Desert's ultimate destination for down home inspired, scrumptious seafood dining, Plenty of Fish Seafood represents a positive ray of hope for the community during these pandemic times!

Plenty of Fish Seafood is located at 43937 15th Street West Lancaster, CA 93534.

Fanplayr Announces Strategic Expansion to Accommodate its Growth

PALO ALTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Fanplayr, a leader in online behavioral personalization and AI for the past 10 years, today announced major changes to support significant growth in its business and customer base.

The company specializes in "converting online users into buyers" using analysis of shoppers' online behaviors. "As the pandemic takes its course, consumers are making a more permanent shift to online purchasing," says Simon Yencken, Founder and CEO of Fanplayr. "Retailers are allocating more dollars to their online strategies. They are also getting set for a longer online holiday season, so the time for retailers to act is early on."

Before the pandemic, Fanplayr had achieved 100% growth over the previous year, and the company recorded revenue growth of 87% over last year in Q2 of 2020. Contributors to Fanplayr's significant growth include:

* Growth in online sales. Key indicators of ecommerce success have increased consistently and simultaneously during the pandemic, driving growth in online-related businesses services. This rarely happens, even during peak holiday seasons.

* Movement away from tracking. Responding to anonymous online visitors became even more critical when third-party tracking policies changed in February 2020 in a movement to increase online privacy. Behavior personalization is uniquely responsive, without the need for cookies.

* Positive results for clients. Behavioral personalization directly drives sales, with clients seeing increased closure rates up to 120%.

* Providing customer care. As buying habits change from in-store to online, companies lose the ability to speak directly to their customers. "Behavior personalization has become the online equivalent of the proverbial salesperson," says Yencken.

In July, the company announced it would expand its offices in New York City to support its growing North American client base. During the same month, it appointed a Regional Sales Director for new offices in Manchester and London.

"In a scenario of global economic recovery, the expansion in New York and the opening of Fanplayr headquarters in UK are extremely positive signs," said Enrico Quaroni, VP Global Sales. The Palo Alto-based company now has offices on both North American coasts and in eight countries globally.

About Fanplayr

Fanplayr is a global leader in e-commerce behavioral data, using machine learning and AI to enable businesses to increase conversion rates and revenue, collect more leads, and retarget visitors with personalized recommendations during and after the shopping experience.

Datasembly’s Real-Time Data is Helping Retailers Respond and Plan Ahead

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Datasembly is providing real-time insight into product pricing and availability data for retailers across America. The COVID-19 pandemic has created a landscape requiring retailers to focus on challenges posed by increased competition, omnichannel execution and contactless data acquisition. The solution to all three challenges, without ever stepping foot into a store, is Datasembly.

Datasembly's proprietary technology collects data on billions of products a week and then leverages it to create customized, shareable insights that clients use to make real-life decisions.

They have helped their retail customers to:
* Understand real-time, store-level pricing and promotions
* Improve their pricing strategies using a full history of competitive pricing data
* Improve pricing of key value items such as eggs, milk, and butter
* Improve margins
* Improve strategy and execution of seasonal items and new product launches

"The Datasembly difference is in the real-time method of collection of the data and the customized, actionable data provided," says Ben Reich, CEO of Datasembly. "Our clients have the benefit of seeing what's happening in their stores and their competitors,' without moving from their desks, and that's invaluable," he added.

In the aftermath of COVID-19 it will become more of a necessity for retailers to respond quicker to what's actually happening in their stores and their local market - that allows them to remain competitive and will help to provide customers with a positive experience in-store and online. Datasembly helps them do that.

Connecting with Customers in a COVID World

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Today, small businesses struggle to find their stride of maintaining relevance during a pandemic. One local Los Angeles entrepreneur - Kim Ashley, founder of Kim Ashley Design - found a meaningful way to connect with her customers.

Ashley has built a successful online business selling her signature stackable gold bead bracelets, chokers and link chains to clients across the nation. "I wanted to find a way to address COVID-19 that struck a positive helpful note for my customers," says Ashley. "I wanted to say be safe by gifting them something useful. It's not about sales right now, it's about reaching out. As a female entrepreneur I've always been focused on empowering women and now more than ever we need to come together to create that spark."

Ashley settled on an easy to carry hand sanitizer pen and sent it to every customer as a gift. There was no purchase involved. "I loved getting my pen!" stated Julia Martinez, a customer. "It was something unexpected and thoughtful. I think new habits are going to stick with all of us and hand hygiene is probably top of the list. This pen is great, I carry it just like sunglasses always there in my side pocket."

As small businesses, the engine of the American jobs machine, find courage and commitment to come back to life, they must create new customer connections. This language between business and patron has to say both we understand the world we are coming back to and we have not forgotten the world we came from just 9 weeks ago. Offering gestures of support during this time will go a long way to strengthen ties between re-starting the American economy boldly.

Kim Ashley Design sells handcrafted stackable gold bead jewelry adorned with gemstones. She lives and works in Los Angeles and her product is American made.

Fanplayr Data Shows Retailers Are Making Up for Lost Sales

PALO ALTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Fanplayr, a leader in e-commerce intelligence, released figures that give clear insights into the adjustment consumers are making in light of significant lifestyle changes forced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tracking aggregate behavior across clients' sites, the data prove a shift from retail to online purchasing. The results are particularly dramatic in large clothing, sports and kids fashion retailers.

According to analyses of sites with over 20 million visitors per month, key indicators of e-commerce success have risen consistently and simultaneously during the period of time a particular market has been dealing with COVID-19. Visitor traffic, conversion rates and AOV (average order value) have all increased. Simultaneous increases in key indicators is rare, even during peak holiday seasons. Simon Yencken, Founder and CEO of Fanplayr states, "It demonstrates our clients are recapturing some lost revenues, namely 30- 40%, caused by limited or no store traffic."

For example, the Japanese market has been dealing with COVID-19 longer than the U.S. because of their proximity to the epicenter. Over the period of time from first reports of infection to today, online key indicators have all risen.

This information is critical for retailers scrambling to make up lost profits. It demonstrates that lost revenue from shelter-in-place and school closures can be recovered from increased online sales, and the overall impact can be mitigated even more with strategies to increase closure rates of shoppers.

As transactions move increasingly online, revenue attributable to AI and behavioral personalization is also increasing. Yencken says Fanplayr's behavioral intelligence responds to anonymous online visitors by understanding their intent, based on their online behavior, and then responding appropriately. This removes the need for third-party tracking to increase conversion rates.

"Companies must focus online to capture every potential sale," says Yencken. "Without segmentation strategies, companies are losing potential sales, something no one can afford to do in this business landscape."

About Fanplayr

Fanplayr is a leader e-commerce behavioral data, using machine learning and AI to enable businesses to increase conversion rates and revenue, collect more leads, and retarget visitors with personalized recommendations during and after the shopping experience.

HOUSTON, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- The Kroger Company (NYSE: KR) along with Mattress Mack of Gallery Furniture and Mayor Turner announced their partnership to feed over 10,000 seniors in need.

"There is an extremely large number of housebound seniors in our community who don't have access to the food and supplies they need," said Joe Kelley, President of Kroger Houston. "While many people can make a weekly trip to the grocery store, this specific group of individuals cannot. We want to make sure that our seniors are taken care of by ensuring they are fed and their pantries are full. These are people's parents and grandparents - and they need our help. That's why we wanted to get involved in the senior drive alongside Mack and Mayor Turner. Together, we can make a bigger impact in fighting hunger in our communities."

Customers can donate non-perishable food at any Houston area Kroger store or at Gallery Furniture 6006 N. Freeway or Gallery Furniture Grand Parkway every day from 8 a.m. - 10 p.m. Gallery Furniture is also accepting donations of cleaning supplies and toiletries.

"We are living in an unprecedented time that is affecting various areas of our communities in different ways. Many Houstonians are asking - what can we do to help?" said Mayor Sylvester Turner. "This is one easy way you can support those in need within our local community, whether it's through donating food and supplies or volunteering your time. We are Houston Strong, and helping is what we do best."

"Gallery Furniture would like to personally thank Kroger and the City of Houston for the incredible donations and continued support," said Mattress Mack. "Thousands have already benefited from the generosity of amazing Houstonians and we will continue to do our best to lead these efforts. Stay strong, stay safe, and remember the essence of living is giving!"

360 Towing Solutions Dallas Started Offering Limo Towing Services in Dallas Area

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- 360 Towing Solutions Dallas, one of the leading towing service providers in the Dallas area, recently started offering limo towing services in the Dallas area.

They said that limo towing is one of the most sought-after towing services in the area and to meet the growing demand of their clients, they have launched the service.

"Limousines are prized possessions and nobody wants to see their limos in damaged or stranded condition. Limos are often rented for city tours and wedding events and these cars should always look satiny and well-maintained. Unfortunately, like all other cars, limos can also break down in the middle of nowhere and it becomes a royal pain both for the chauffeur and the passengers to deal with a limo breakdown," said Richard Miller, the marketing head of the towing Dallas company.

"When limos are stranded due to mechanical failures, these expensive and high-end cars need to be towed in a way so the car doesn't get damaged. Thankfully, our trained professionals know how to tow expensive and heavy-duty cars like limousines and we take all the precautions so that the cars don't get damaged a bit. We offer fast and reliable limo towing services in and around the Fort Worth-Dallas metropolitan area now. Also, our prices are competitive, which means one can get highest value for money by availing of our limousine towing services", added Miller.

Aside from limo towing, towing service Dallas TX provider now also offers RV towing, box truck towing, semi towing, tire change, dump truck towing, bus towing, school bus towing, UPS towing, shipping container towing and all other types of heavy-duty towing services. According to Miller, their aim is to offer cost-effective towing services to the clients in and around Dallas.

The CEO and managing director of 360 Towing Solutions Dallas said, "We have been a leading player in the Dallas towing market and we will step up our game in the coming days by adding one after another service and focusing on quality of services."

"My studio is private and intimate and allows me to think outside the box. At the end of the day, it's mine and I make of it what I want alongside my clients. I have the freedom to deliver my art as a hairdresser," said Fernie Adame.

"Owning my studio gives me the freedom to create my hours. That's huge! I allow time for other things, like going to school while still working full-time," said Esthetician, Morgan Cameron.

Las Vegas Restaurant Franchise Focuses on Equal Opportunity and Provides Leadership Roles for Women!

LAS VEGAS, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- Ori'Zaba's, one of Las Vegas's most popular scratch Mexican food franchises, has become a leading voice - and employer - for women who seek leadership roles in the restaurant industry.

The nineteen-year-old Mexican food franchise was founded by longtime Las Vegas restaurateur Kori McClurg, a military veteran and corporate executive, who understands the value women managers, employees and leaders bring to a company.

After serving in the United States Air Force and working as a defense contractor, Kori developed strong analytic and leadership skills, which she most recently put to work managing private investments and as an owner of Ori'Zaba's Scratch Mexican Grill.

"As a woman, who has fought her way up in the military and also the corporate chain of command, I know the challenges women face in the workplace. That's why Ori'Zaba's stresses a culture that celebrates women leaders," McClurg said.

The company actively engages in a hiring and promotional process that increases the number of talented women in leadership roles. More than 80 percent of the of Ori'Zaba's Franchise General Managers are women. About 60 percent of the company's executive team are women.

"Women make up the majority of the population and it's about time companies and franchises reflect that reality and bring more women into all workplaces," McClurg said.

"We wanted to enhance our culture, improve training, and reduce turnover. The people we have in our GM positions have been able to achieve that. I believe that is a testament to skills that are not traditionally thought of as strong leadership characteristics. When we start thinking about what actually impacts our business and the bottom line versus what makes a 'strong' leader, these women have been able to make a difference," McClurg said.

In honor of International Women's Day 2020, which takes place March 8, and to truly understand the significance of Ori'Zaba's commitment, McClurg said it is important to highlight the history of the international women's rights movement.

The History of International Women's Day
Since the first gathering in 1911, International Women's Day (IWD) has been celebrated annually on March 8.

In that time, the women's rights movement has celebrated many victories, including but not limited to:

* In 1948, the United Nations adopted the first international document to assert "the dignity and worth of the human person and [the] equal rights of men and women."
* In 1979, the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.
* In 2017, the Women's March on Washington, DC, became the largest international mass demonstration in support of women's rights. Affiliated marches were held in Accra, Bangkok, Paris, Nairobi, Belgrade, Buenos Aires, Krakow, and even Antarctica.

Women in Leadership

By 2018, women made up nearly half (46.9%) of the whole US labor force, yet they only accounted for slightly over a third (40.0%) of managers.

Believe it or not, in 2019, there were still fewer women in leadership positions than there were men named John.

That figure seems astounding in light of research conducted by Harvard Business Review found that, "Women Score Higher Than Men in Most Leadership Skills."

"As a woman who has served in the military and in the corporate world, I do understand the challenges that women face in the workplace. My intention has been to create a place where people can be successful right along with the company. Because of my experience, I have the objectivity to see what's actually valuable versus the way things have always been done or who has always done them," McClurg said.

There is no doubt that the healthy growth of Ori'Zaba's franchise family, since its creation in 2001, is in great part due to these amazing energetic women leaders.

Ladies, on behalf of the whole Ori'Zaba's franchise family - thank you!

Frisky Cat Café Opening in St Augustine

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Frisky Cat Café is just a few short weeks away from being the first cat café in St Augustine. Never heard of a cat café? Now's the chance to experience one. And, there are more coming to cities around the country. Frisky Cat Café is partnering with Bold Bean Coffee Roasters and will be located at 1092 S. Ponce De Leon.

So, what exactly is a cat café? Some may think it's a place to take you kitty for a coffee break or to meet up and play with other cats, but it's not. It's actually designed for people who love cats, but can't have one of their own. At the Frisky Cat Café, people have the opportunity to cozy up with a sweet, purring kitty when they want.

Upon entering Frisky Cat Café guests are welcomed by the scents of craft coffee, fresh baked goods and more. Guests are welcome to enjoy their favorite coffee while making new friends or even adopt one of the furry cat residents.

Cats are waiting beyond the café area in a room divided from the eatery by a door and windows. This creates a complete separation between the food and felines. However, guests are more than welcome to bring their food or drink with them into the cat lounge. Those with allergies, or who do not wish to visit the cat room, may enjoy a view of the cats through the glass panel. play.

Why a cat café?

"First and foremost, we're here to save lives," Carla Forrest, founder of Small Lives Matter, says. "Most cats are not able to handle the stress of living in cages at a shelter; they can shut down, become unfriendly and aggressive and seem 'un-adoptable' (a fast-track to euthanasia). We work with dedicated cat guardians to provide a quiet, interactive, free roaming and cageless environment where adult cats can thrive."

Cat café proceeds will directly support rescue efforts such as vet care, support for foster homes, and the trapping, neutering and returning of feral cats (commonly known as TNR, helping to curb the feral cat population).

"Our cat café is saving lives by enriching humans with cat interaction while providing relief for both stressed-out cats and humans," Forrest explains. "We believe people become much better people when they're around animals and we believe all cats are adoptable."
