The Maxwell Football Club named Mill Creek standout Caleb Downs on Thursday as the 2022 Maxwell Football Club National High School Player of the Year. Downs starred on offense and defense last season as Mill Creek won the Class AAAAAAA state championship, the program's first. The Hawks finished 14-1 with a No. 11 ranking nationally in the final MaxPreps Top 25. In a state finals win over Carrollton, the 6-foot, 190-pounder made 13 tackles and rushed for three touchdowns. He finished the season with 83 tackles, five interceptions (two for TDs) and 10 passes defensed on defense, in addition to rushing 57 times for 383 yards and 20 TDs and catching 36 passes for 422 yards and three TDs on offense. Downs graduated in December and enrolled early at Alabama, where the five-star recruit is expected to contribute immediately at safety. Downs joins past winners of the Maxwell high school honor that include Bryce Young, Trevor Lawrence and Derrick Henry. Gwinnett County government and local tourism officials are investing half-a-million dollars in COVID recovery funds in efforts to improve security around county attractions and hotels, and to support arts recovery and film education programs. The county announced the $500,000 investment that government and Explore Gwinnett officials will make into the programs on Thursday. The goal is to use the Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery funds to boost areas in the hospitality and tourism industry that were hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic. The funds were made available to the county as a result of the American Rescue Plan Act. There are three main areas that the funding will be spent on, including film education and training programs for high school students, a program to support nonprofit arts groups and efforts to improve security at the Gas South District District, Coolray Field and more than 100 hotels in the county. The long-awaited return of the Hometown Holiday Parade is among the highlights included in the city of Lawrenceville's 2023 events calendar, which was released in late January and includes nearly two dozen events. The parade, which has not been held for several years due to the COVID pandemic, is scheduled for Saturday, December 2. Also planned is the two-day “Around the World in the DTL” celebration, providing a variety of culturally-rich experiences and events in the city's collaboration with the Atlanta International Nigh Market. Also, the “Cultura Fiesta Latina” returns in 2023, offering a Latin heritage festival filled with food, dancing and music during National Hispanic Heritage Month. In addition, the “Live in the DTL” concert on June 16 will take place on the Lawrenceville Lawn as part of the Juneteenth Celebration. The city will tip its collective cap to law enforcement during National Police Week in May with “Light Lawrenceville Blue” and on March 10 the Lawrenceville Legacy Leaders Youth Council will presents it inaugural youth-organized mental health awareness event on the Lawrenceville Lawn. Events in the city are free to attend (although some may require pre-registration due to space limitations) and sponsorships starting at $500 are available. Legislation establishing regulations for the fast-growing third-party food delivery industry in Georgia has been introduced in the General Assembly. Senate Bill 34 is an outgrowth of a Senate study committee chaired by Sen. Elena Parent, D-Atlanta, that held several meetings last summer and fall to talk about an industry that has no federal oversight and only patchwork state and local regulations. Third-party food delivery was virtually non-existent before the pandemic closed restaurants to in-person dining. Apps including Uber Eats and DoorDash sprang up so quickly and grew so rapidly that health regulators couldn't catch up, resulting in complaints from customers of unsanitary practices. The industry also ran afoul of restaurant owners, who complained third-party food deliverers were running ads featuring their names without authorization, touting relationships that didn't exist. Senate Bill 34 would put an end to such practices in Georgia, prohibiting third-party food companies from advertising non-existent connections with restaurants and requiring them to enter into contracts with restaurants before picking up and delivering food from those facilities. The legislation also would require vehicles used for third-party food delivery to be clean. No smoking or vaping would be allowed inside delivery vehicles, and pets would be prohibited unless they are service animals. Food containers delivered via a thirty party would have to be closed, sealed and tamper resistant. Thermal containers would be required when necessary to keep food at the proper temperature. Parent's bill has bipartisan cosponsors, including Republican Sens. John Albers of Roswell and Frank Ginn of Danielsville. Democratic cosponsors include Sens. Harold Jones of Augusta and Sally Harrell of Atlanta. Fernbank Museum continues to celebrate its 30th Anniversary this year with special exhibits, giant screen films, themed Discovery Days, nighttime nature adventures in WildWoods: AGLOW, Fernbank After Dark adult science nights and more. Fernbank kicked off the year with the new giant screen film, “Fungi: Web of Life,” which opened on January 7. This film follows scientists to forests in Tasmania and China as they search for unique lifeforms, including bioluminescent mushrooms, that could help solve some of humanity's most urgent problems. “Wings Over Water” opened on February 4 in the Giant Screen Theater. Audiences can fly alongside three different types of birds as they defy the odds and migrate to America's largely unknown but awe-inspiring prairie wetlands. Guests will learn about the science of navigation, flyways, bird behaviors and this unique ecosystem. February will offer a vivid immersion into the science of color in the new special exhibit “The Nature of Color,” which opens Feb 11. “The Nature of Color” offers an in-depth exploration of the way color carries information in nature, including how organisms use it to find food, warn off predators and reproduce. The exhibit also delves into the use of color across cultures, where different colors can signal a wide range of meanings, impact emotions and ultimately influence the society around us.

Yet at the “tender age” of 72, Hines finds himself totally immersed in one of these talents — creating works of visual art. Hines has accomplished many things in his life, but art has been a constant “companion” that never left him. His journey to Tannery Row has been filled with experiences, an array of talents, a variety of schools and study, and successful careers outside the art world. Growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, his parents recognized his talents at as young as five. However, he was unsure about making a living in the art world. Utlimately, he started a law firm while commuting back and forth to Atlanta to support his wife's broadcast career. While helping his son start a t-shirt company, his love for art was rekindled. In August of 2020, Hines enrolled at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and earned his MFA in 2022. “At the tender age of 72, I returned to metro Atlanta. Finding a studio space led me to Tannery Row at the suggestion of Carolyn Wright, formerly of The Lona Gallery in Lawrenceville.” He finds the atmosphere at Tannery Row encouraging. Hines has gained the interest of collectors like Hollywood filmmaker Michael Sherman who sits on the boards of the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. Hines is hoping to spark interest in gallery owners and museums in Atlanta and elsewhere, pursuing several artist residencies and fellowships, and hoping to teach art as an adjunct professor. If one is lucky, visitors might catch Hines in his area of Tannery Row, located at 554 West Main Street in Buford.

Growth through the pandemic Packaging—helping enhance the experience of to-go at home People being lenient and supportive, in return providing great service Alcohol sales (“big part of the brand”) Minimum Wage and labor- making it easier for people who are already working, and for people who want to join the team The CULTURE of working within the team- for hiring and attracting top talent Franchisees- how they implement culture when it might not be a top priority Leadership-maximizing people and their capacity Technology in the industry-whats coming up, integration, understanding their patrons What's the future of breakfast? Notable Quotes “Even though we were at 50% capacity [last September], we were seeing higher business Monday thru Friday, we're seeing more to-go orders—now it's at 15% of our sales (compared to the 2% pre-pandemic).” “People were very lenient with us… just wanting us to succeed, [they] were wanting to help us.” “Our biggest thing was trying to let people know when we were re-opening because every store, every jurisdiction was slightly different.” “In certain cities, [alcohol sales] were a bigger part of sales than other cities. What we found was that with the flexibility of people WFH, and the stress of everything, alcohol sales have been really on the uptick.” “In 2013, we were at 5% sales for alcohol, in 2018, it was 7%. Right now it's about 15%, with some stores being over 20%.” “Monday thru Thursday, sales of alcohol were up over 40%. So it's not just the weekend that people are drinking.” “We're trying to make our compensation packages more holistic, i.e. adding a 401k. We're trying to do a better job of recruiting people and training them and developing them.” “For the people you have, have a good compensation package, and a path for them to develop themselves and their career if they choose to do that.” “Quality of life is really great; managers are home every night with their kids—they're done at 3.30.” “Another thing is making sure people know what our values are, and recognizing people that [represent them]. We have a recognition program where we pass out these golden tickets representing the five core values, and I go out and recognize the people that are representing those...But it's really about peer-to-peer recognition.” “You need to take pride in serving people...The best at their job really have these core values.” “It starts with the first interaction. We have expectations, everything from simple things...reaching out within 24 hours. It's part of the mutual respect, how we treat them; when they first come in for Discovery Days, even before they're franchisees, we [share] our culture, what's important to us, and how they can expect to be treated.” “One of my biggest challenges as a leader is knowing when to push without feeling bad that you're pushing beyond what people are capable of.” “What we're seeing is, you need technology that can be easily integrated...Make it seamless for the customer and the server.” “The ability to scale more quickly is on the horizon [for Another Broken Egg Cafe]. We've signed a couple of multi-year franchisees already this year...We finished last year with 71 cafes, and we're gonna open 18 this year… It's not just about us, it's about the idea of brunch.”

"Success can be defined in a multitude of ways but in franchising, success is about being the right kind of person who makes the right kinds of decisions that help those in their sphere of influence become the right kind of people." - Jerry Darnell  This week on Franchise Today co-hosts, Stan Friedman and Paul Segreto welcome as their guest, Jerry Darnell, CEO of Jerry Darnell & Associates. Often referred to as the “Mayor of Franchising” and recognized by many, as the creator of franchise “Discovery Days,” Jerry has worked through an illustrious 35 year-long franchising career that has seen him build new franchise division infrastructures for multi-billion dollar companies like the Medicine Shoppe and develop successful franchise programs for such well-known brands as Physicians Weight Loss Centers and Sterling Optical.  Perhaps best known for his years as a consultant to MAACO Founder Tony Martino, or as a senior executive with Guidant, Benetrends or Bob Gappa’s Management 2000, there is nobody in franchising who has served so long, brought so many people together and can still remember each and every second of his amazing 35 year-long career, as if it all just happened yesterday.  Franchise Today airs LIVE Wednesdays at 11AM CT / 12PM ET with on-demand access on iTunes.
