He discusses Southern Grounds' journey into franchising, starting with their 3 corporate locations and plans to add 4 more within a year.

With analytics and a flexible selection of 20-30 additional menu items, the brand ensures profitability by optimizing menu mix and food costs. Mark talks about how Southern Grounds collaborates with preservation architects and designers to honor the history and character of buildings and communities, often using renovations to spark revitalization across neighborhoods. Their approach makes each coffeehouse a cornerstone of local redevelopment.Mark is seeking franchisees with passion for community, coffee & culinary excellence. He looks for entrepreneurial candidates who appreciate hospitality, sustainable cooking, and seasonal flavors. Ideal franchisees are financially qualified, community-focused, and driven to make a positive impact.Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated with our latest episodes.

Action News Jax's Beth Roussaeu joins JMN from Jacksonville International Airport to discuss holiday travel.
This episode of Projects is about The Jacksonville International Airport, in northern Florida, which serves 5.5 million passengers a year. While their digital overhaul isn't as "spectacular" as some of our previous episodes, it is a complex and well thought out project, who's content is likely more relevant to its audience. Projects of this size are becoming more commonplace, so I asked Colleen Hamilton, Principle at Art of Context and Steven Shultz, Director of Information Technology for JAX, about some of the details involved in delivering a project like this, including engaging stakeholders, effective emergency messaging and avoiding scope-creep. People at airports rely on data a lot, and can get very cranky when things aren't correct, so it's interesting to hear how they got it right. I spoke with Colleen and Steven via Skype.
