Raving Brands, PrimeSource Warm Up Cold News Day

January 16, 2009

I started my day looking for a little foodservice news to help me shake off the effect of yet another frigid day here in America’s heartland. And luckily for me, sister publication Chain Leader had just the thing to get my mind racing and help me forget my still tingling extremities.

News that electronics and appliances retailer Circuit City is shutting its doors due to credit considerations and other factors comes as no surprise. The Chain Leader story “Raving Brands Sells Planet Smoothie and Shane’s Rib Shack,” however, is another story. It was interesting to read the Q&A Maya Norris had with Raving Brands President Daryl Dollinger. Equally as surprising as the sale is the revelation that Raving Brands is developing a new concept it may roll out later this year.

The new range at Dallas firehouse number 11. Dallas dealer PrimeSource coordinated the project.Another story that warmed me this morning was news about the way PrimeSource, a Dallas-based dealership, worked with some of its vendors to help renovate part of a firehouse kitchen first built in 1909. These efforts were part of the seventh annual Freedom Day 2008 hosted by Entrepreneurs Foundation of North Texas (EFNT).

In assessing the kitchen at Dallas fire station No. 11, it became obvious that a new range and sink were needed. So PrimeSource worked with its vendor partners to make this happen, also coordinating the delivery and installation of the equipment. As a result, the firefighters and paramedics at Dallas Fire and Rescue can turn up the heat on their pallets during meal time.

“The new stove is great and we want you to know that its maiden voyage turned out some mean chicken enchiladas,” Captain Rett Blankenship of Dallas Fire and Rescue said. “Our chief came over and kicked the tires on it this afternoon and now we are the envy of the district.”

Jeff Swindle and Tug Toler at E-Source Inc. handled the complexities of ordering the right stove, which was donated by Garland/U.S. Range. Pam Meredith at Ettinger-Rosini & Associates arranged for the donation of the new sink faucets. Jerry Pritchett at Cooking Equipment Specialists assembled a team to deliver and install the new stove and remove the old one.

Congratulations to all parties involved.

There can be benefits from having a unresponsive judge or two into the unwrapped there, as long as what they're saying isn't indeed traduce (i.e. "the CEO is a pedophile"). If the perverse document is an verified guy service site, resolving the job and posting a age, pleasant response detailing what you did to decide modification into it can exactly be a positive .
