The awards were judged by a panel of dairy industry experts, with the ice creams evaluated on flavour, texture and appearance. “It was great news to hear that, once again, we had won a number of Dairy Industry Association awards – it certainly reiterates the quality and flavour of our delicious ice creams,” said Peter Lokan, Wendy’s General Manager of Marketing. “At Wendy’s, innovation and product development is a constant focus. We’re always working on new flavours as well as ensuring that our old favourites continue to be great tasting and of the highest quality.
“These awards are testament to the hard work that goes in to ensure our franchisees have an outstanding product to offer their customers.” Click here for information about Wendy's Franchise Opportunities _________________________________________________________________________________________________ HOWARDS STORAGE WORLD RESISTS THE GLOBAL RECESSION - MASTER FRANCHISE LAUNCH IN UNITED KINGDOM Australian organisational expert, Howards Storage World continues its global expansion with the signing of a new master franchise in the United Kingdom (UK). The first UK based store will open in Edinburgh in October 2009 with another 100 stores anticipated for England, Scotland and Wales over the next 10 years. The UK Master Franchisees, Martin Brown and David Smith bring to the brand vast professional experience with distinguished careers in investment banking and commercial real estate. Both have commenced training at Howards Storage World Australia ahead of the Edinburgh launch. Mr Brown says Howards Storage World responds to a growing demand for stylish and functional home storage solutions. “We conducted extensive research into franchising opportunities before discovering Howards Storage World and we immediately saw a highly specialised brand offering that wasn’t available in the UK. We are very optimistic about the market demand for home storage products and see strong potential for this brand to succeed throughout the region,” says Mr Brown. Howards joint CEO, Mr Dirk Spence with UK Master Franchisee, Martin Brown at the signing of the UK master agreement The Howards Storage World franchise began in 1997 with the first store located in Northbridge, Sydney. The Northbridge store was originally owned by Les Howard before current joint CEO, Dirk Spence joined forces with Les to officially launch the franchising venture. Today the business has grown to 64 stores throughout Australia and 81 stores internationally. Mr Spence says Howards Storage World is confident the Australian brand will fair well in the UK. “We’re very excited to be expanding into the UK. Consumers today prefer a specialty retail environment and Howards’ success is largely due to our commitment to delivering great range, quality and service. We continue to strive to excel in these areas and feel consumers in the UK will welcome our highly specialised service offering,” says Mr Spence. Howards Storage World franchises currently operate in Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Singapore, Ireland and the GCC Territories in the Middle East (including Dubai and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). Master agreements have been signed for the Benelux Region of Western Europe and the Philippines with stores set to open later this year, and a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed for Scandinavia which encompasses Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

SUPANEWS CONTINUES TO EXPAND DESPITE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN |
||
Supanews opened a new franchise newsagency at Stockland Balgowlah on Monday 15th June. Supanews continues to seek opportunities to grow its popular newsagency network despite the economic downturn. Stockland Balgowlah is a new retail development, set in The Village on Sydney's Northern beaches. Supanews is thrilled to be part of this new development of some 60 stores for the convenience of the Balgowlah community, which will cater to suburbs of Seaforth, Clontarf, Balgowlah Heights, Balgowlah and Fairlight. The Supanews Balgowlah franchise is owned and operated by Andrew Urquhart and Jenny Hayes. Andrew and Jenny said they were attracted to the Supanews business because of the strong brand, smart fit outs and significant back office support that was provided to franchisees. “In the current market environment, the opportunity to own and manage a store that retails staple newsagency products has real appeal. I’m self employed and able to run my own business but I know I have the support of the broader Supanews business which is willing to assist me, provide leadership and invest in the brand, despite tough times.” Adrian Gaskin, Founder of Supanews, said the company was always seeking expansion and promotion opportunities and was continuing with a sensible and conservative growth plan with a view to emerging stronger following the downturn. “Our franchisees not only benefit from identifying with a strong brand and corporate image, but also from the support we offer them through a better purchasing power, an excellent business system and a strong promotional support. “We currently have 51 Supanews newsagencies operating across Queensland, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria. 28 of those stores are franchises with smart, capable small business owners at their helm, and the remainder are company-owned stores. Supanews has a target of opening its 60th store by early 2010 and is currently looking for new sites across Australia. Click here for more information about the Supanews Franchise Opportunity |

WORLDWIDE SET TO SPARKLE Worldwide’s print sponsorship helps raise funds for charity For the third consecutive year, Worldwide Online Printing is a major sponsor of the Brisbane-based Zig Zag Foundation Charity Ball. Get out the glitter and the masks and get ready to experience carnival! One of Brisbane’s largest charity events, the 2009 Zig Zag Foundation Charity Ball is on again this year. Featuring the theme “Are you ready... to experience carnival?”, the charity ball will be held at the Brisbane Convention Centre on 20 June. Last year’s ball raised over $300,000 for Queensland charities that provide essential care for sick, underprivileged and at-risk children. The Zig Zag Foundation aims to raise $1 million every year through charity events that have now become popular in the local community. It operates with virtually no administration costs and relies on volunteers and the generosity of sponsors such as Worldwide Online Printing to raise funds. Almost 100% of funds raised by the foundation go to the children in need. Worldwide has supported the Zig Zag Ball since its inception in 2007. This year 15 local Worldwide Online Printing centres have united to provide $16,500 worth of print sponsorship for the ball, and the foundation’s other charity events and everyday printing needs. “We’re proud to be part of such a worthy cause,” said Andrew Robertson, coordinator of Worldwide’s sponsorship. “The Zig Zag Foundation does a tremendous job of helping children by spreading the funds across a wide range of charities – from support networks, to research institutes that provide hope for sick children.” Guests from Worldwide enjoy the 2008 Zig Zag Foundation Charity Ball “Each year’s ball is more successful than the last, and we’re sure that this year it will once again be a huge success,” added Robertson. Close to 1000 people indulged in a night of exotic delight at last year’s oriental ball, including local celebrities the Queensland Reds, Queensland Bulls, cricketer Andy Bichel and TV personality Jim Wilson. As last year, the ball will feature a raffle, live auction and silent auction. This year’s prizes include a Batman movie poster signed by Heath Ledger and a commemorative crystal trophy for soccer legend George Best. “The Brisbane business community is very generous and we greatly appreciate their continuous support,” said Zig Zag Foundation founder Michelle Lawson. “Sponsors like Worldwide Online Printing do a fantastic job and make it possible for us to put on a range of charity events throughout the year.” You can book your tickets for the 2009 Zig Zag Foundation Charity Ball or donate online at www.zigzagfoundation.org Tickets include dinner, drinks, a gift bag and a night of fantastic entertainment.
