Podcasts about grand opening

SHOW #1710 Glenda might subscribe to "Blessing Program" and she's upset that America.gov doesn't have coupons or talk about aliens, grand opening scandals and plans for Crazy Place, and More Weirdness!

Coaster Radio is back after a week off, and there is a lot to cover. First Drop: Cotaland, the park next to Circuit of the Americas outside Austin, Texas, just held its grand opening as a full-time amusement park. It now has the world's first shuttle Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster (Palindrome), a tilt coaster (Circuit Breaker), a Schwarzkopf Wildcat, a log flume, and a 150-foot Star Flyer. Mike and EB explain why they both thought ArieForce One was headed there. In Quick Hits, Mike and EB salute Arthur Levine, who is retiring after decades covering the amusement industry and has appeared on the show 40 times, far more than any other guest. Lagoon is teasing a racing-themed 2027 announcement for October 3rd. The Fun Spot Atlanta auction has 413 lots, and the prices so far are hilarious (a Dragon Wagon coaster for $3,600 and a 4D simulator for $200). Then EB files a two-part trip report from Family Kingdom in Myrtle Beach, covering the 1968 wooden coaster Swamp Fox, the Twist and Shout wild mouse, and a field where an RMC Raptor will open in 2027. After the break, the Halloween contest gets its first entry, a very threatening clown. Then the mailbag delivers park maps and a mountain of stamps for the Snail Mail Club. The main event is the 2026 Golden Ticket Awards. Dollywood dethrones Busch Gardens Williamsburg as the world's most beautiful park, Europa-Park takes best amusement park, and Voyage edges Phoenix for the top wooden coaster. Fury 325 tops the steel list ahead of VelociCoaster, Steel Vengeance, and Iron Gwazi. ArieForce One comes in at #11, and Mike and EB are both shocked it isn't higher. Along the way there are hot takes on Flying Turns, Apollo's Chariot, and Guardians of the Galaxy, plus a debate over whether AI can crunch 10 years of Golden Ticket rankings. Want to play along? Send your ArieForce One prediction (one park, plus a few sentences on why) and any scare actor interview entries to feedback@CoasterRadio.com.

How does an iconic Canadian outdoor retailer turn a return to Canadian ownership into lasting growth? On this episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc sits down with Chris Speyer, Chief Merchandising Officer and Equity Partner at MEC (Mountain Equipment Company), and Michele Guimond, VP of Marketing at MEC. They talk candidly about brand trust, merchandising strategy, community building and what it takes to win in Canadian retail today.Chris traces MEC's journey from beloved co-op to U.S. private equity ownership. In May 2025, a small group of equity partners, including Chris, brought it back to majority Canadian ownership. A proud fellow Ottawa native, Chris returned to Canada after nearly two decades in the U.S., including years as Chief Merchandising Officer at REI. He explains how MEC has refocused on climbing, hiking, camping and backpacking, and why it refuses to out-discount Amazon or Walmart. That discipline is delivering double-digit revenue growth and stronger full-price margins.Michele, whose background includes Aritzia and Arc'teryx, explains why MEC never lost its "Canadianness" through the ownership changes. She says trust lives in the one-to-one moments between members and expert staff. She shares two powerful signals from the past 18 months: a re-engaged core of loyal members and a fast-growing cohort of new customers choosing MEC for the first time.The conversation digs into the buy Canadian movement and how consumers really shop it. Canadian origin is a helpful decision filter, but quality, durability, sustainability and innovation come first. Chris spotlights Canadian trail running brands including Norda, Ciele, NAAK and Arc'teryx, alongside MEC's own label. He also unpacks how tariffs and supplier negotiations are reshaping retail buying.Michele introduces Train for the Trails, MEC's free national community program. It offers digital training guides, expert coaches, and local group runs for everyone from first-time 5K runners to seasoned racers. Chris also weighs in on REI and the future of specialty outdoor retail in the U.S.The episode closes with sharp holiday 2026 retail advice. Michele urges marketers to win authentically, build relationships instead of transactions and invest in post-holiday lifecycle marketing. Chris makes the case for curated accessories, uncompromising peak-season service and targeted promotions over blanket discounts. He also explains why expert store staff should check AI product recommendations.And listen for a little breaking news: Chris reveals that MEC is opening a smaller-format store in Whistler Village this November, featuring a curated collection focused on MEC's own label.Whether you're a retail executive, marketer, merchant or outdoor enthusiast, this is a masterclass in brand trust and purpose-driven growth.

On the Tech for Business podcast, Megan (Director of Design at Dupler Office in Columbus, Ohio) and Jason (Director of Innovation and Solutions at CIT) discuss Dupler's recent technology transformation and its impact on designers. Megan explains her hybrid leadership role and how her team relies heavily on CET, while Jason shares his long history advising Dupler and helping guide an IT overhaul. The company tackled multiple changes at once—showroom renovation, moving to a cloud-based platform to eliminate servers, supporting hybrid work, rolling out new laptops, and standardizing conference-room and workstation connection experiences. They describe how inconsistent setups, VPN/server issues, and unreliable laptops previously caused major downtime and client-meeting disruptions, and how the new environment made technology more “invisible,” improving productivity and confidence. They also note cost/value tradeoffs, collaborative vendor partnerships, team-based laptop setup sessions, and Dupler's design-led sales approach with designers involved in most client engagements.00:00 Meet the Guests00:18 Megan's Role at Dupler00:59 Design Tech Day to Day02:16 Jason's Dupler Journey04:16 Managing Change and People07:04 Inside the IT Assessment10:08 Standardizing the Workspace12:02 Staying Productive Mid Overhaul14:34 Cost vs Value of IT Upgrades18:26 Rolling Out Laptops Together19:53 What's Next After the Upgrade21:09 A Design Led Sales Model25:09 Grand Opening and Wrap Up26:33 Final Thanks and Subscribe

Your Grand Opening Can Make or Break Your Franchise Most franchise owners think the grand opening is about balloons, discounts and getting people through the door. It's much bigger than that. A successful grand opening can create local awareness, generate early momentum, build valuable community relationships and give a new location the kind of start that can impact sales for months—or even years. In this episode of Business Stories with Ryan Arcoraci, Ryan sits down with John W. Lee, founder and CEO of Impact Marketing Services, to talk about what actually goes into launching a franchise location successfully. John shares lessons from decades of helping franchisees build stronger local market presence and explains why the work leading up to opening day is often just as important as the event itself. You'll learn: Why grand opening marketing should start well before the doors officially open The biggest mistakes franchisees make when launching a new location How to build awareness and excitement inside the local community Why local relationships can be more valuable than simply running more ads How to turn opening-day traffic into repeat customers What franchisors can do to give new franchisees a stronger start Why a grand opening should be treated as a sales strategy—not just a celebration For franchisees, the goal isn't simply to have a busy opening day. The goal is to create momentum. Because when you launch a new location the right way, you're not just opening a business. You're introducing yourself to an entire community—and giving them a reason to come back.

Leo shared that his late wife originally came up with the name "Uncle Leo's," and he spoke about continuing her legacy by personally delivering leftover donuts, bagels, clothing, and furniture to local food pantries, hospitals, and community members in need. He also shared the story of how he first met Rosny in the produce aisle at Caraluzzi's, which eventually led to their strong friendship, partnership, and the expansion of the brand into Bethel and Norwalk.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and faith is a misunderstanding of what Jesus actually came to say? Many of us assume Christianity is about rules, behavior, or getting life together. But what if his message was far more personal and relevant than that? This Sunday, we'll take a fresh look at the good news Jesus came to bring and why it still matters today.

The Walt Disney Company is the most successful enterprise ever created for monetizing human nostalgia. Today it's the king of global entertainment, holding the intellectual property rights to the childhood memories of billions of people (including, likely, all of you) and is a reliable, predictable profitable business. But it didn't start that way.During Walt's era, Disney operated like an unhinged moonshot factory, blowing its finances on one seemingly crazy project after another, like the very first feature-length animated film or a theme park inspired by Walt's fascination with model trains (spoiler: Disneyland). Walt's relentless ambition to bet the company over and over again not only created some of the most monumental artistic achievements of the 20th century (Snow White, Fantasia, Disney Imagineering), but also resulted in the accidental invention of the modern “flywheel” business model. In this episode, we tell the story of the ultimate marriage of art, commerce, and engineering — The Walt Disney Company: Walt's Era.Sponsors:Many thanks to our fantastic Spring '26 Season partners:J.P.

Have you ever felt like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? You're showing up for your family, your business, your team, and your community—but deep down, you're running on empty. Maybe you're exhausted. Maybe you're burned out. Maybe you're questioning how much longer you can keep going. My friends, if that's you today, I want you to know something: you're not alone. In this episode, I'm sharing some of the biggest lessons I've learned from walking through one of the hardest seasons of my own life. A season that tested me physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. A season that ultimately strengthened my faith and taught me what true mental toughness is really all about. Because mental toughness isn't about pretending you're okay. It's not about grinding harder or carrying every burden by yourself. It's about staying faithful when life gets hard. Replenishing your body, mind, and spirit when you're running on empty. And it's about trusting that God is preparing you for something greater—even when you can't see it yet. Here's what we'll dive into on this week's IMPACT SHOW podcast: Why strong people burn out too The hidden cost of carrying too much for too long What mental toughness really means when you're in the middle of a storm How faith fuels resilience when motivation disappears Why prayer, scripture, worship, and community matter more than ever during difficult seasons The importance of replenishing your energy, your spirit, and your soul Why you can't pour from an empty cup How to perform a personal life-energy audit The connection between recovery and high performance Why your greatest impact may come after your hardest season A simple 7-Day Recharge Challenge to help you get your mind, body, and spirit back on track A powerful closing prayer to remind us that it's our Faith that feeds your mental toughness One of the questions I ask throughout this episode is this: What burden are you carrying today that was never meant for you to carry alone? Think about that. Because so many of us are trying to be everything for everyone. We're trying to hold it all together. We're trying to fight battles with our own strength. And sometimes the strongest thing we can do is surrender. Sometimes the breakthrough isn't found in doing more. Sometimes it's found in reconnecting to the Source of our strength. My hope is that this episode fills your cup. That it restores some hope. That it reminds you that whatever storm you're facing today is only a season. And that your setback can become your setup. Your pain can become your purpose. And your struggle can become your greatest testimony. Keep the faith. Keep serving. Keep showing up. And remember...the best is yet to come.
