JENNIFER OPENSHAW: Time-pressed Families Gobble Up Meal-assembly Services
NEW YORK (Dow Jones) -- When my busy sister-in-law told me that she now prepares meals for the family a new way -- at a self-assembly shop -- I started to pay attention. And I paid even more attention when I learned a few weeks ago of another friend generating $8 million a year in revenue by owning three franchises in this fast-growing industry. "Millionaire Zone" parents quickly discover that few options for good meals are available -- and most of them come with extra cheese or a supersize side of fries. Or a long wait at the supermarket Chinese counter for (yet again) the same fare. What if -- for about the same amount of time spent in a long grocery line -- you could assemble a full meal, take it home, stick it in the oven and have it ready when you come back from your minivan sojourn? Where there's a need, there's a niche.
Anita Roddick 1942-2007
On Monday, September 10, surrounded by her family, Dame Anita Roddick, OBE — a seemingly unstoppable force of nature — passed away after 64 amazing, hell-raising, consciousness-blazing years. If you buy “fair trade" anything, purchase a product not tested on animals, refill a product container, or use a product in a recycled container or package, then you, in some way, have Anita Roddick to thank. Long before any of these ideas was fashionable, before there was such a thing as “green consumerism," Anita was looking for a way to change the business world to benefit humans (she didn't like the word “consumer") and the planet. She is best known as the founder of The Body Shop (TBS), the international cosmetics chain she started in 1976. In just 30 years, it had mushroomed from a single shop in Brighton, England to a franchise of 2,000 stores in 53 countries.
