This past June and July, the United States experienced days of record-breaking temperatures, and while Mother Nature turned up the heat, inner-city stores followed suit, enjoying a hot 10 percent sales increase compared to 2019. National Retail Solutions (NRS) operates one of the largest and fastest-growing point-of-sale networks for independent retailers and bodega owners nationwide. Since the beginning of COVID-19, NRS has been monitoring the sales growth through its network of over 8,500 inner-city bodegas and corner stores with the help of its point-of-sale (POS) terminal-based platform. While this system might strike the average shopper and store employee as a cash register with an advertisement-facing display, it goes above and beyond to provide a robust portfolio of tools to help these retailers compete more effectively in the marketplace. More importantly, NRS has the ability to gather sales data quickly and efficiently from each POS to assist both small business owners and the big name brands carried within these stores. What products are behind the increase in sales these past two months? The data gathered by NRS points to several categories soaring far beyond this growth statistic. According to NRS Senior Vice President of Data Strategy and Sales Suzy Silliman, adult beverages continue to crush prior year sales numbers, with liquor and wine both experiencing nearly a 50 percent increase in dollar sales in June and July 2020 compared to last year. “Non-alcoholic beverages are trending 12 percent above a year ago, led by sports and energy drinks which are up by an impressive 32 percent,” she said. “The only non-alcoholic beverage segment not enjoying growth is bottled water, which saw a slight decline of 2 percent.” Ice cream and novelties make up two other categories which typically enjoy seasonal sales spikes within this timeframe. While they increased as expected, ice cream had a 24 percent increase compared to June and July months in 2019, while novelties remained flat versus a year ago. The most surprising statistic NRS was able to pull came from candy sales. July is typically a slow month, but it posted higher numbers than last December or February of this year—traditionally strong months due to the holiday season and Valentine’s Day. “Even chocolate sales, which in summer months take a seasonal slump, showed an 11 percent gain over June and July 2019 in stores that on average were stocking 25 percent fewer chocolate items on their shelf than in winter months,” Silliman said. Why go through all of this trouble to gather sales data? Inner-city mom and pop stores, bodegas, and ethnic markets have previously gone unmeasured, and therefore went largely underdeveloped by consumer brands. NRS believes with the urban population staying and shopping closer to home during this “new normal” period, inner-city bodegas and corner stores have sales potential like never before. Look for more insights from NRS as it becomes the leader in providing unique services to consumer goods marketers in this space through data, advertising, and state-of-the-art technology. About National Retail Solutions: A subsidiary of the telecom IDT Corporation, NRS was created to leverage relationships with both customers and merchants. It serves independent retailers nationwide with its state-of-the-art point-of-sale (POS) terminal-based platform. This system contains an array of features that help these retailers compete more effectively in the marketplace. Additionally, this POS technology records valuable insight and data so both brands and independent merchants can better understand shoppers and implement strategies to increase sales.

Many people aren’t going back to their jobs post-COVID. Some of the reasons they have given include: (1) they have a public-facing job and are afraid of being exposed to COVID, (2) they have had a few months off from the job they hate and don’t want to go back, (3) they have driving anxiety and haven’t had to face their commute for a few months, and (4) they are essential workers who want to make a career change, so they are not exposing themselves and their families to COVID, as they have had to over the past few months. Scott Bartnick, the founder of the Five-Day Startup, shares insight on how e-commerce can change your life after Covid19.

My favorite doughnut shop, Sublime Doughnuts, is one of so many businesses hit by the pandemic. With all the chaos surrounding our city, they’ve continued to persevere. Founder Kamal Grant spoke with me about the adjustments. We also discussed the brand’s origin story, starting a company in the midst of a recession and how you can keep up with what’s on the horizon for Sublime Doughnuts. Keep in mind they’re open 24/7 and there are two locations within metro Atlanta for you to enjoy. Web: http://www.sublimedoughnuts.com Follow: @sublimedoughnuts About: As the creative mind behind Sublime Brands’ distinctive doughnut and bakeshop concept, Founder & Creative Director Kamal Grant demonstrates a love for baking and bringing smiles to customers’ faces that can only be described as awe-inspiring. “I realized at a very young age that sweets make people happy, and that’s what I wanted to do with my life,” recalls Grant. When an executive from Dunkin Donuts visited Grant’s high school foodservice class and discussed his trips to the doughnut research and development lab to taste the experimental treats, it sounded pretty sweet. After graduating, Grant joined the Navy and used his enlistment as an opportunity to pursue his dream of becoming a world-class baker. Serving as a baker among the E4 – 3rd Class Petty Officers on the USS John Young, Grant’s cinnamon rolls quickly gained the praise of his shipmates. In addition to an opportunity to bake, his travels with the Navy also exposed him to international culinary treats and exotic flavor and texture combinations. Singapore’s ice cream sandwiches made with multi-colored bread and sweet red bean soup, Australia’s malt chocolate beverages and Dubai’s shawarma and rosewater forever changed Grant’s approach to baking. “While traveling around the world in the Navy, I learned that pastries weren’t just about baking; they also represented culinary art,” says Grant. This newfound artistic appreciation led him to enroll in the Culinary Institute of America, where he focused on high-end desserts, plate presentation, classical techniques and the flavors and textures of award-winning chefs. During his time at the Institute, Grant interned with renowned pastry chef Keegan Gerhard at the Windsor Court Hotel in New Orleans. Upon graduating, he refined his skills at the American Institute of Baking, where he focused on the science behind baking. Grant put these skills to use at his first job as a supervisor at the Flowers Baking Company, learning the value of “high volume, high quality” production. Before long, Grant’s desire to create (and a fortuitous errand to purchase doughnuts) led him to notice a rental sign for an empty shop in Atlanta that would soon become his culinary vision, known since 2008 as Sublime Doughnuts. “At Sublime, we present flavors and textures from around the world on a doughnut canvas,” he says with a smile.

Mrs. Evans made waves on the net this fall when her What’s Poppin video dropped. With Covid19 present and virtual learning launching in Albany, Georgia several teachers thought a music video would be an interactive way to start the school year! They were right. The videos went viral! Not only does Mrs. Evans have bars but she’s a full time teacher and cheerleading coach. This busy lady also found time to create an organization named iHoop LLC. We discuss the transition to virtual learning this school year, why she started iHoop and she dropped some encouraging words to young females that aspire to Hoop Like A Girl. Web: www.ihoopllc.com Follow: @ihoopllc_ A Word From Founder Mrs. Callie Evans: It wasn't until I was nine years old when I started to play basketball. I played other sports prior to and beyond that age and enjoyed the variety of them all, however, no other sport gave me the feeling like basketball did. I grew to love the sport during middle school. Even though I could hoop, often times I would get teased for being "too girly" on the court. My inspiration for iHoop, LLC is to demonstrate that girls can be girls while competing in sports, as we are not less of an athlete by just being ourselves; we can embrace our feminine side because we ARE different from boys and being different is OK. It has always been a passion of mine to focus on the femininity because, as girls, we have specific needs that get overlooked and taken for granted, until now. I have played basketball on many levels, starting with parks and recreation, middle and high schools, AAU, college, and semi-professional. At an early age, I began coaching little league and then with Special Olympics. I moved on to coach high school as an Assistant Coach of Varsity, Head Coach of Junior Varsity, and an Assistant Head Coach on the College level. My experience in coaching has given me a firsthand look at the dynamics of interacting with girls and basketball. I went as far as becoming a referee because learning all aspects of the game of basketball was important to me. I want iHoop to be a great experience for young ladies, but most importantly, I want all to know that it is ok to Hoop Like A Girl!

This phenomenal father-daughter duo created a brand that is changing lives for children everywhere. Listen in on this exclusive from the cofounders of Kidskin! We discuss how the brand started, what their goal was and what may be on the horizon for this company. Young entrepreneur Jordan Canepa has a bright future ahead! Web: https://kidskin.com Follow: @kidskinusa About Kidskin: When Jordan Canepa, eldest daughter of the Los Angeles-based Canepa family and co-founder of Kidskin, was just 6 years old, she started to experience acne and breakouts all over her face. Jordan’s parents were puzzled and eager find a cleanser to help their daughter. Soon they realized that when it comes to acne-related skincare, drug stores only carried products by brands whose ingredients were far too harsh for Jordan’s delicate, young skin. So, Jordan and Michael set out to create a solution that suited her needs. First, Michael knew that his daughter needed a cleanser that was free of harsh ingredients and naturally safe and effective in removing the dirt and oil that was causing Jordan to break out. Utilizing his business-savvy background in medical-grade skincare, Michael worked with experts in their field including a team of chemists and dermatologists to formulate a gentle and effective cleanser using tea-tree oil that was safe to use on his daughter’s skin. Throughout the formulation process, Michael found Jordan’s input to be a crucial component in developing the perfect cleanser. What they came up with not only helped Jordan’s acne problems, it became a favorite among friends and family who had children and teens with acne, too! In fact, the results and reviews were so overwhelming that Jordan and MIchael decided to launch their brand Kidskin and bring their products to other children, teens and families nationwide! Accompanied by her Dad, Jordan soon found herself speaking at trade shows, educating industry experts and customers on the kid-safe skincare line that saved her skin. The first product is now known as the Kidskin T-Blast Foaming Cleanser, and the first product in the three-step skincare kit that has already helped many children regain their confidence with clearer skin. Kidskin Now Operating as a team since 2013, the Canepa family proceeded to develop additional skincare products following the success of the Kidskin 3-Step Acne Kit, to help even more preteens and teens with unique skin concerns such as oily skin, rosacea, eczema and related skin-sensitivities. Jordan, now 13 years old, continues to be at the forefront of the Kidskin brand as a teen brand ambassador, regularly giving first-person interviews alongside her father to help get the word out about Kidskin’s amazing line of products that are perfect for kids ages 6-17 who are suffering from acne.

What is Kinis, how was it developed and why should you own a pair TODAY! Founder Vincent Vu sat down with me to talk about his groundbreaking brand Kinis! Web: https://www.kinis.com Follow: @kinisbarefoot About Kinis: Recent Online MBA graduate, Vincent Vu, knows what it takes to build a business from the ground-up. Seldom does one have the privilege of meeting a nascent entrepreneur. It is generally after a person has made it big that we hear the backstory of his or her humble beginnings. Vincent lives his story. As the creator of KINIS, a start-up business focused on appropriate, minimalistic footwear for proper exercising, Vincent conceptualized his product as a boy. He may not have realized it at the time, but as a kid running shoeless in a refugee camp for six years, his childhood environment not only sculpted his body but his ambitions as well.

On the heels of a global pandemic, many cannot wait for an amazing event to take place. The wait will soon be over! Aliesha Renea Fashion Show happens September 26 in Atlanta, Georgia and IT WILL BE LIT! I caught up with Ms CEO to discuss particulars like how the brand started, what people can expect at the show as well as wise words for the next generation! Her story will touch your heart. Web: https://aliesharenea.com Follow: @ALIESHARENEA About Aliesha Renea: My name is Aliesha Jeffreys and I am the founder of Aliesha Renea; a street style brand for women and men that helps builds strength and empowerment. When I was 18 years old I moved to New York with my father to attend Long Island University, by my second semester my father left, moved to another state and stopped communication. I was suddenly left alone in the city without any means of support or family. I had to move into a shelter and put school on hold. I started this brand in a shelter in 2016 because I write poetry about my life and what I been through and also about society, so I wanted to find a way to bring awareness in a unique way that people will relate to. Through all the hard obstacles I suffered I created my first logo; an iconic image that represents a strong empowered black woman who has found peace in a world full of hate by keeping faith. After a couple years I created my second logo which stands for empowerment and justice. My mission is to bring awareness to the issues that we face in society everyday through fashion (body shaming, domestic violence, mental health, police brutality, gang violence, etc) I am a strong black woman who is determined to be an example of what we all can do when we do not lose our sense of where we came from and have the drive to work hard to make our dreams a reality.

Keeping your home clean is more important than ever now. Covid19 has changed everything. If you have children or elderly relatives living with you, harmful chemicals can cause them discomfort and sometimes injury. Why wouldn’t you want to protect your family and the environment at the same time? Good Green Cleaner is here to take on the tough jobs in your household. They’re strong enough for the biggest cleanups minus the toxins from typical brands. It’s truly a ‘green’ cleaner! So where did this company come from, how did they face challenges and why do you need to have them in your house? Founder Maureen Bergmann gave this exclusive interview and she was such a delight! Promo Code: ash20 Web: www.goodgreencleaner.com Follow: @goodgreencleaner About the brand: Maureen Bergmann, President, and Founder of good green cleaner has been in the cleaning industry for more than twenty years. She and her family introduced these products to the commercial cleaning market about ten years ago. During that time she began educating her friends on the harmful chemicals in traditional cleaners and even some cleaners that claim to be "green." Throughout the years as friends learned about these products and witnessed their efficacy, they implored Maureen to make the products available to the retail market. As Maureen worked to bring these good green cleaners to market, she uncovered overwhelming evidence that ingredients found in common household cleaners are linked to cancer, hormone disruption, reproductive and developmental toxicity, allergies and respiratory issues. She didn't want people exposed to these toxins in their home and she didn't want them and the plastic bottles that housed them deposited in our environment. So, Maureen worked with partners in Europe to gain the rights to bring their innovative concentrate cap to the United States. The cap allows the good green cleaner bottle to be reused until it wears out which is typically 10-12 months with normal use. Both the bottle and the cap are 100% recyclable. Good green cleaner also employs sustainable practices and is pursuing carbon neutral accreditation. Our partners employ sustainable practices as well. Good green cleaner is a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) owned and run by women and based in the United States. Our bottle, packaging, and labeling partners are all U.S. owned and run companies, most local to New York, and providing jobs here in the U.S. About the show: ► Website: http://www.ashsaidit.com ► Got Goli Gummies? https://go.goli.com/1loveash5 ► For $5 in ride credit, download the Lyft app using my referral link: https://www.lyft.com/ici/ASH584216 ► For discount Pangea Products: https://embracepangaea.grsm.io/ashsaiditmedia3226 ► Want the ‘coldest’ water? https://thecoldestwater.com/?ref=ashleybrown12 ► Become A Podcast Legend: http://ashsaidit.podcastersmastery.zaxaa.com/s/6543767021305 ► Review Us: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ash-said-it/id1144197789 ► SUBSCRIBE HERE: http://www.youtube.com/c/AshSaidItSuwanee ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1loveash ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ashsaidit ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/1loveAsh ► Google Plus: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+AshSaidItMedia ► Blog: http://www.ashsaidit.com/blog ► Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/1LoveAsh/ ► Newsletter: manage1.com/subscribe?u=2a2ca3b799467f125b53863http://ashsaidit.us11.list-c8&id=a6f43cd472 #atlanta #ashsaidit #ashsaidthat #ashblogsit #ashsaidit® Ash Brown is a gifted American producer, blogger, speaker, media personality and event emcee.

What is the origin story behind Urban Hydration, how did they overcome their first obstacle and what is next for this groundbreaking brand. Co-founder Psyche Terry holds nothing back while encouraging others to follow this heart. Check them out in CVS and select Target Stores! Web: https://www.urbanhydration.com Follow: @urbanhydration About: Always having dry skin and dry hair led to multiple trips to the doctor’s office for Psyche & Vontoba. One day, while helping a local nonprofit raise money selling candles and spa gift baskets, Psyche challenged them to create products she could actually use to make her beauty routine more natural, more fun, healthier, and more affordable. After introducing the collection to friends, family, and their own children, the Terry’s were inspired to share their love for clean beauty across the nation. Today, millions of Urban Hydration products are sold in more than 7,000 retail doors across the nation. What’s fun and rewarding for Psyche & Vontoba is that they continue to give back to charity by making a donation for every product they sell! In 2018, Urban Hydration dedicated its first clean water drinking well to 300 Kenyan school children.
