Choice Hotels International, Inc. unveiled the new Comfort Rise & Shine prototype as the next milestone for its flagship, upper midscale brand. The prototype celebrates the successes of the iconic brand as Comfort marks its 40 th anniversary this year, and positions the brand for continued performance and system growth. The first new construction Rise & Shine prototype hotels are expected to open in 2023.

“At Choice, we’re always building, innovating and evolving, with guest satisfaction and owner return at the forefront of what we do,” said Pat Pacious, president and chief executive officer, Choice Hotels. “After finishing Comfort’s multi-year, $2.5 billion transformative journey, which resulted in upgraded guest rooms and public spaces, as well as a new logo and signage, the ongoing success of the brand is proof positive that we invest for the long term. Over the last 40 years, our strong franchisee collaboration and guest loyalty has built one of the industry’s leading brands in the upper midscale segment — a brand that has time and again shown its strength and resiliency through dynamic economic climates. Now that the Comfort refresh is complete, we are introducing the next milestone for our flagship brand: an exciting, new prototype that is designed to maximize return on investment.”

The new Comfort Rise & Shine prototype builds on the features that have made the brand a long-time favorite of developers in the upper midscale segment including:

An efficient footprint : With reduced square footage, the Rise & Shine prototype delivers elevated fit and finish while maintaining Comfort’s efficient, cost-effective operating advantage.Innovative functionality : From a welcoming outdoor porch to an innovative new flex room that easily transforms from additional breakfast space to meeting and event space, the new prototype offers versatile spaces that can create additional revenue opportunities.Flexible and fresh design : Backed by extensive consumer research and developer feedback, the Rise & Shine design package comes in three color schemes, allowing developers to customize their choice to fit the needs of their local market, all while retaining the warm and welcoming personality for which Comfort is known. Developers can choose among the following:

City – bold yet approachable with rich wood tones and an energized color palette. Sea – calm and soothing with muted colors and light wood tones. Sun – vibrant and cheerful with a relaxed yet optimistic feel.

“Upper midscale and midscale are Choice Hotels’ sweet spots, and no one knows these segments better than we do,” said David Pepper, chief development officer, Choice Hotels. “More than ever, developers and guests are gravitating towards established brands they know and trust — brands like Comfort. Whether looking to build new construction or convert existing businesses, the Comfort Rise & Shine prototype was flexibly designed to accommodate a broad spectrum of investment opportunities coupled with access to Choice’s industry-leading resources and technology. As owners look to build for tomorrow, they will be well served by building Comfort.”

The new prototype was designed in response to evolving guest needs with tailored spaces for travelers to relax, work, sleep and get ready for their day. New and existing elements of the design combine to maintain connective threads to the best of the current offering, while adapting to meet the changing needs of today’s traveler. Some of these updates include:

Outdoor patios anchored by an indoor/outdoor fireplace, designed to give guests a warm welcome and make them feel at home.Open, airy and active public spaces with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize natural lighting.A multi-purpose flex room that seamlessly converts to serve a variety of uses.Guestrooms featuring upgraded fixtures and furniture, including semi-open closets and new “on the go” stations at the door.Functional yet uplifting lighting throughout the prototype including the front desk welcome wall, public space millwork shelving, exclusive up-lighting on the guest room headboard wall and media panel and on the prototype exterior.

“As the name ‘Rise & Shine’ suggests, light is integral to the new design, inspired in part by our refreshed brand identity and new signage serving as a beacon for the brand,” said Megan Brumagim, vice president, brand management, design and compliance, Choice Hotels. “The prototype combines the features, design and amenities that guests want, with the efficiency, functionality and flexibility that developers expect. It offers spaces that can transform from day to night and serve a broad range of guest stays, whether business or leisure. The new prototype reinforces the brand’s strong value proposition with guests and owners by blending form and function to help optimize the guest experience and developers’ investment.”

Whether hosting a family on a road trip or a business traveler with an important client meeting, Comfort guests will continue to enjoy the spacious guestrooms, complimentary hot breakfast, free Wi-Fi and 100% smoke-free facilities that they expect from the brand.

Comfort has more than 1,600 hotels coast to coast in the U.S. and a pipeline of nearly 300 properties, about 80% of which are new construction. Choice Hotels listened closely to guests and owners when developing the new Comfort Rise & Shine prototype, and it has already received enthusiastic reviews from existing Comfort franchisees, who are eager to invest in the future of Choice Hotels’ flagship brand.

“It’s not every day you can say that you directly influenced a brand’s new product, but the Comfort prototype is a great example of how Choice Hotels’ collaboration with owners and developers ensures a win for everyone,” said Azim Saju, chief executive officer and president, HDG Hotels, and owner of 10 Choice-branded hotels. “I’m always looking for ways to optimize returns from my investments. I know Choice is too. I’m proud to have been a part of an incredible project that will be a game changer in the market for current and prospective owners as well as our guests.”

Unity Rd. Becomes First Vertically Integrated Dispensary Franchise

DENVER: ONE Cannabis Group (OCG Inc.), the parent company to the cannabis dispensary franchise Unity Rd. , announced today that it has been acquired by Item 9 Labs Corp. The newly formed entity is the first vertically integrated cannabis franchisor in the United States. The combined business will escalate lead flow for Unity Rd. franchise development and mitigate challenges new and existing dispensary owners face.

Founded in 2018, the cannabis franchise currently has multiple agreements with 10 entrepreneurial groups who are in various stages of development nationwide. As Unity Rd. continues to grow its network by awarding the franchise opportunity to qualified entrepreneurs across the country, Item 9 Labs will help solve an all-too-common challenge that many dispensaries face: securing access to a trusted supply chain. Since cannabis products cannot cross state lines, Item 9 Labs plans to develop or partner with cultivation facilities in states where Unity Rd. franchise partners open cannabis retail shops, giving them front-of-the-line access to award-winning products.

Known for its impressive catalogue of products, Item 9 Labs currently offers 75-plus active cannabis strains and more than 150 differentiated cannabis vape products as well as premium concentrates. The award-winning cannabis operator is headquartered in Arizona, where the company is currently expanding its operations space by 650,000+ square feet on its 50-acre site – one of the largest properties in the state that is zoned to grow and cultivate flower. Just this January, adult-use was made legal in Arizona, revealing the health and promise of the industry at large.

”Item 9 Labs has garnered a reputation as a trusted source for high-quality cannabis products that also offer transparency, consistency and well-being to those relying on us,” said Item 9 Labs CEO Andrew Bowden. The company’s products are currently in nearly half of the cannabis dispensaries in Arizona. He added, “We’ve grown intentionally with all brands centered on helping others become the best versions of themselves. This fits well with Unity Rd.’s mission of inspiring confidence in the benefits of cannabis for all.”

Item 9 Labs also owns and operates DispensaryPermits.com and DispensaryTemplates.com, the leading online platforms for information surrounding cannabis business applications, regulations and state updates. The acquisition offers their customers a solution for long-term guidance and support through the Unity Rd. franchise opportunity. With news of the acquisition as it progressed as well as increased U.S. cannabis legalization, Unity Rd. has seen a surge in franchise lead activity over the past six months. The dispensary franchise is currently targeting Colorado, Oklahoma, Michigan, New Jersey, Maine, and Arizona among other markets, as part of its strategic franchise expansion plan.

Together, the combined team has a proven track record of winning cannabis licenses in 15 states. Mike Weinberger, COO of ONE Cannabis who is now appointed Chief Franchise Officer of Item 9 Labs Corp. with this announcement, explains, “Extending our in-house knowledge in dispensary applications will strengthen our traction in emerging markets. This, along with direct access to Item 9 Labs’ deep bench of premium products are added benefits that puts Unity Rd. franchise partners far ahead of any future competition.”

Unity Rd. offers the safest route for entrepreneurs looking to enter an industry that boasts unrivaled potential, helping franchise partners confidently enter the complex cannabis space. With a collective 120-plus years in the legal cannabis industry, the franchisor’s time-tested Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) guide franchise partners through every operational function of the business. The veteran team passes on their knowledge and trusted resources, as well as provides the ongoing support needed to compliantly and successfully operate a dispensary.

2020 was a defining year for cannabis as five states approved legalization during the November elections and the overall acceptance of cannabis flourished as several states deemed the industry essential. Despite economic challenges brought on by the pandemic, the demand for cannabis products surged to unprecedented levels with nearly every state experiencing record sales throughout the year. 2021 is poised to be a big year for cannabis law reform on both the state and federal levels – opening opportunities for the industry to explode, projected to top $24 billion by year-end.

”If there was ever a time to invest in the cannabis industry, it’s now,” added Weinberger. “With cannabis sales increasing during the pandemic and several states looking at how tax revenue from legal cannabis could greatly offset the economic damage caused by COVID-19, the industry is poised to take-off. Those eager to enter now will greatly benefit from the knowledge and support of a franchisor to help navigate the complexities and vast inconsistencies on how states regulate.”

17th Packers Tailgate Tour rolls out from 1265 Lombardi Avenue

by Cody Krupp, FOX 11 Sports

GREEN BAY (WLUK) -- Of course a lot of the questions before the Green Bay Packers' Tailgate Tour were centered around the ongoing quarterback saga but there was other topics to talk about before it took off, from a revised contract for the starting running back to welcoming back former Packers.

Taking part in this year's 17th annual event are four former Packers and two on the the 2023 roster.

• RELATED | Packers, businesses oppose proposal to include Thursday in NFL flex scheduling

One of those is star running back Aaron Jones. In February, he took a revision on his contract that brought him from $16 to $11 million for 2023.

"Because I wanted to be here. This is home for me," Jones said. "I wouldn't say pay cut because I never made $11 million in my career, so this is still the most I have ever made. Still has me at second highest paid for running backs, so matched up with the market and didn't want to be greedy. I am a team player want to help the team."

The other current player on the Tailgate Tour is two-time Pro Bowler Elgton Jenkins.

"I said when I first got here I wanted to be with the team for 10+ years and right now going into my fifth year, just signed another contract," Jenkins said.

In December, Jenkins signed a four-year extension to stay in Green Bay, and it made him the second-highest-paid guard in the NFL. But which position is he going to play -- guard or tackle -- in 2023?

"Right now I am working out as if I was playing offensive line", Jones laughed. "I feel way better than I did coming into last season."

Now to the former Packers, which included the 2013 NFL rookie of the year, running back Eddie Lacy.

"Chilling these days living out in Arizona, enjoying the sun," Lacy said of what he's been up to.

Lacy was asked whether the call to join the Tailgate Tour came as a surprise?

"Yeah, and I was like, eh, I usually say no to a lot, but I was like nah, I'm going to this one. I am going to do this, meet fans in person for the first time in different cities. I am real nervous about it because I don't really talk -- you know I don't really talk," Lacy chuckled.

Lacy will have a chance to catch up with his former college (Alabama) and Packers teammate Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, who in late December officially retired with the Packers after bouncing around the league since he was traded in 2018.

"Gave me a chance to change my family's history and begin my legacy. Just giving back to the place that brought me and my family in," Clinton-Dix said.

The other two former Packers taking part in this event are Davon House and Evan Smith.

There's a lot on the itinerary, visiting many schools and hospitals just to name a few.

FOX Carolina announces partnership with Clemson Athletics

CLEMSON, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - FOX Carolina (WHNS-Gray Media) and Clemson Athletics have entered into an exciting new agreement that makes FOX Carolina an Official Partner of the Clemson Tigers beginning immediately and will result in Clemson fans getting unprecedented video access to all sports within the University.

Beginning August 26, “Monday Night is Clemson Night” on FOX Carolina, as each Monday from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., 52 weeks a year, the station will shine a spotlight on Clemson Athletics.

The programming includes 26 episodes of reimagined official coaches shows produced by FOX Carolina, live specials, and additional unique content produced by the athletic program’s EMMY Award-winning Clemson+ division, including original episodic content, talk shows and more.

The full hour will be devoted to an all-access look at all Clemson sports---the athletes, the coaches and support staff, fans and Clemson’s entire national championship-winning athletic program. Gray Media’s Raycom Sports will also assist in the production of unique content weekly that Tiger fans will love.

The partnership kicks off Monday, August 26th with a live one-hour special previewing the season LIVE from Clemson, as the Tigers prepare for their big season opener against Georgia. For the entire football season, Coach Dabo Swinney’s show will be followed by additional original content from Clemson+.

As basketball season comes into focus, Men’s Basketball Coach Brad Brownell’s show will move into the 7 p.m. time slot. With this unique partnership, many Clemson Athletics’ programs, both men’s and women’s, will share the spotlight on Clemson Night.

Throughout the year, FOX Carolina and Clemson will work together on special live programming, serving Clemson fans with an inside look at their favorite teams at the biggest moments.

In addition to FOX Carolina broadcasting these shows, viewers outside the Greenville-Spartanburg-Asheville-Anderson market will be able to watch as well. Gray Media’s new Palmetto Sports Network covering the state of South Carolina will carry the shows. Also, Gray’s Peachtree Sports Network will carry the coaches shows throughout the state of Georgia, bringing the total over the air distribution reach in the Carolinas and Georgia to over 5.7 million households. Gray’s Digital FAST channels, the ACC Digital Network and Origin Sports will also carry the new offerings worldwide.

WHNS FOX Carolina Vice President and General Manager, Bryce Caldwell, adds “This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for Gray Media and FOX Carolina News. Gray Media’s reach is unmatched in this region and the company is proud to be associated with such a proud, successful program. When Gray Media purchased the station in December 2021, we began the process of growing and serving viewers at a level unlike any competitor in this market. Now, we are proud to be an Official Partner of the Clemson Tigers and couldn’t be more grateful. It will give viewers the opportunity to see reimagined Clemson coaches shows, specials and unique content you can’t find anywhere else.”

“This is an incredibly impactful way to bring our award-winning content to more of our fans in their homes alongside a partner with the firepower to expand the footprint of our original programming,” said Kyle Caddell, President of Clemson Athletics’ partnerships team. “The athletic department has made incredible investments in content production and includes programming that targets not just the most die-hard Clemson fans, but also those looking for compelling stories. We’re excited that everyone can get a deeper look inside our programs on Clemson Night and beyond.”'
