Hammer & Nails Groomed for Growth in Nation’s Capital Region with 12-Unit Franchise Deal

RESTON, Va., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hammer & Nails Grooming Shop for Guys, a men’s grooming shop that provides haircuts, shaves and hand & foot care, in a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, is pleased to announce it has awarded a multi-unit franchise deal to Ilona Kirzhner of Reston, Va. The mother of three boys immigrated to the United States from the FSU in 1977 and has an impressive history of career and educational wins.

In a first for the men’s grooming franchise, Kirzhner signed on to open 12 shops over the next five years throughout Washington DC and Northern Virginia («NOVA»). The dozen Hammer & Nails shops will bring approximately 300 new jobs to the area.

Kirzhner pivoted her career to franchising when businesses across the country were impacted by the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020. She quickly found herself in a professional pause. After some self-described soul searching, she began looking into entrepreneurship by way of franchising with the help of a career transition coach from The Entrepreneur Source. When the Hammer & Nails franchise was presented to her and she dug deeper into the brand, she saw strong leadership and loved the idea of a concept that helped men look, feel and be special in a safe and male-centric environment.

«The success the Hammer & Nails leadership team has delivered with this and previous endeavors made it an extremely attractive opportunity,» said Kirzhner. «The more due diligence I did and the more I spoke with Aaron Meyers, the franchise’s President and COO, the more I knew this was the best fit for me. I was searching for a business opportunity to grow long-term and ultimately take me into retirement. Bringing Hammer & Nails, a place for men from all walks of life to escape life’s worries, will provide a welcomed getaway for men around the Beltway.»

Throughout Kirzhner’s career leading up to Hammer & Nails, she has specialized in performance improvement, government contracting, enterprise transformation, data science, change management and change leadership. With a Master of Science degree from Harvard University and a Master of Business Administration from The College of William and Mary, on top of a Bachelor of Electrical Engineer from THE Ohio State University, Kirzhner will immediately become the most educated franchisee in the Hammer & Nails family. Additionally, among several industry certifications, Kirzhner holds and has practiced as a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt.

Kirzhner hopes to have her first location open by year’s end, and is currently looking at retail space in Loudon and Fairfax Counties. Once her first location is established, she anticipates opening at least two locations in 2021, and three locations each for the next three years.

The Hammer & Nails experience coming to Washington DC and Virginia is unlike any other. The atmosphere is low-lit, with soft ambient lighting throughout the shop. Exterior windows are tinted for privacy and the interior is furnished with dark wood and steel, creating a relaxing vibe. Members are greeted by name, escorted to a luxurious oversized Bison leather chair, and handed a menu with complimentary beverages ranging from an ice-cold water to McAllen’s whiskey, all included in the cost of the service. Shops have Direct TV, and every guest has a dedicated personal oversized device, remote and noise-cancelling BOSE headphones for entertainment during the visit.

«Ilona is a motivated, self-made woman who we are proud to call a Hammer & Nails franchisee,» said Meyers. «This is a record franchise agreement for our brand, and we are eager to see how Ilona grows and develops the brand in NOVA and Washington DC. With her tenacity and keen instinct for business mixed with Hammer & Nails’ respected franchise operations and top-tier services, we are confident that the men’s grooming industry will prove successful in her region. When she starts opening her shops, there is no ceiling to her success.»

With 12 new shops in the next five years, Hammer & Nails has a strong future in Washington DC and Virginia. For more information about the Hammer & Nails franchise opportunity, visit https://hammerandnailsfranchise.com/.

About Hammer & Nails
Hammer & Nails was founded in 2013 with the vision to provide hand and foot care, manicures and pedicures, haircuts and shaves to every type of male. After offering a franchise opportunity in 2015, the brand awarded licenses for more than 200 shops and is working to have 150 locations open and operating by 2025.

Citius Submits Mino-Wrap Briefing Package to FDA for Pre-IND Consult

CRANFORD, N.J., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. («Citius») («Company») (NASDAQ: CTXR), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on adjunctive cancer care and critical care drug products announced progress in the development of Mino-Wrap, a novel approach to reducing post-operative infections associated with surgical implants.

Mino-Wrap is a gel-containing minocycline and rifampin film that is used to wrap the tissue expander («TE») used in breast reconstructive…

Mino-Wrap is a gel-containing minocycline and rifampin film that is used to wrap the tissue expander («TE») used in breast reconstructive surgeries. In order to stimulate early consultation and potentially speed the development of Mino-Wrap, the company has submitted a briefing package to the FDA Division of Anti-Infective Products. The briefing package contains information regarding pre-clinical data and a clinical development plan, along with questions for the FDA regarding safety and efficacy data that would be required to advance Mino-Wrap into clinical trials. The company will consider the feedback provided by the FDA in the development of the Pre-IND. There is no set timeline for FDA to respond to a consultation package; however, based on pre-COVID-19 experience, we expect a response from FDA within 60 days.

Mino-Wrap also marks the second collaboration with MD Anderson Cancer Center («MDACC») who are the inventors of this novel approach to preventing post-mastectomy infections when tissue expanders are used. The Company is currently developing Mino-Lok®, an antibiotic lock treatment for catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs), in collaboration with MDACC. Mino-Lok is in phase 3 development.

«The published rate of infection for tissue expanders used in breast reconstructive surgery is between 2.5 % and 24%, with an estimated mean at around 12% to 14%. We believe Mino-Wrap has the potential to provide a significant reduction in the incidence of infection, sparing the patient the pain and discomfort of extended hospitalization and further aggressive and lengthy courses of antibiotics in an attempt to salvage the TEs. In many cases the TE is removed leading to a delay in lifesaving chemo-radiation therapy, which can be a devastating consequence for the patient,» said Myron Holubiak, President and CEO of Citius Pharmaceuticals. «We also are extremely honored to be working with the doctors and scientists at MD Anderson Cancer Center to develop another much-needed improvement in adjunctive cancer care. The early consultation with FDA allows for the identification of optimal strategies for our preclinical and clinical development programs. We are pleased to be taking advantage of this collaborative approach with the agency.»

About Mino-Wrap

Mino-Wrap is a novel approach to reducing post-operative infections associated with surgical implants. Mino-Wrap is a liquefying gel-based wrap containing minocycline and rifampin for reducing tissue expander (TE) infections following breast reconstructive surgeries. It is a laminate film comprised of porcine gelatin plasticized with glycerol. Mino-Wrap also contains the antibiotics minocycline and rifampin to reduce bacterial bioburden on implantable devices preventing colonization over a sustained period of time. In the setting of breast reconstruction, Mino-Wrap is designed to provide more durable antimicrobial protection of the implant-tissue interface than peri-operative irrigation with antibiotic solutions (the current standard of care). Both porcine gelatin (and collagen) as well as the combination of minocycline and rifampin have long histories of successful medical use in implantable devices in multiple anatomical settings.

About Tissue Expanders and Infection Risk

A common breast reconstruction technique is tissue expansion, which involves expansion of the breast skin and muscle using a temporary tissue expander. A tissue expander is an empty breast implant that is filled with normal saline over 6 to 8 weeks until it reaches the breast size that is desired. In this type of reconstruction, the surgeon will either make a pocket under a large muscle in the chest and place a tissue expander in that space or place the expander above the large muscle. About 4 to 8 weeks after the tissue expansion is finished, a second surgery is required to remove the tissue expander and insert the permanent breast implant. The patient receives either microvascular flap reconstruction, or the insertion of a permanent breast implant. Infection is one of the most common complications of tissue expanders and implants during breast reconstruction, with an infection rate ranging from 2.5 to 24 percent.

About MD Anderson Cancer Center

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston ranks as one of the world’s most respected centers focused on cancer patient care, research, education and prevention. The institution’s sole mission is to end cancer for patients and their families around the world. MD Anderson is one of only 45 comprehensive cancer centers designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). MD Anderson is ranked No.1 for cancer care in U.S. News & World Report’s «Best Hospital’s» survey. It has ranked as one of the nation’s top two hospitals since the survey began in 1990, and has ranked first for 11 of the past 14 years. MD Anderson receives a cancer center support grant from the NCI of the National Institutes of Health (P30 CA016672).

About Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Citius is a late-stage specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of critical care products, with a focus on anti-infectives and cancer care. For more information, please visit www.citiuspharma.com.

About Mino-Lok®

Mino-Lok® is an antibiotic lock solution being developed as an adjunctive therapy in patients with central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) or catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). CLABSIs/CRBSIs are very serious, especially in cancer patients receiving therapy through central venous catheters (CVCs) and in hemodialysis patients, for whom venous access presents a challenge. There are currently no approved therapies for salvaging infected CVCs.

BRAINTREE, Mass., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — When EarthSafe first introduced the EvaClean® Infection Prevention System in 2016, electrostatic sprayers and hypochlorous acid (HoCl)-based chemistries were virtually unheard of in the cleaning industry. The company spent several years educating about the many benefits of faster, more complete application of safe and effective disinfectants, while also advocating for the establishment of guidelines for responsible use of these disruptive technologies. By 2019, the EvaClean system had already been adopted by some of the most prominent healthcare institutions, senior living communities and school districts in the country, and the company was well on the way to becoming one of the leading authorities on healthier disinfection.

Past successes positioned Evaclean on the leading edge for addressing the COVID-19 crisis as one of the most credible and vetted infection prevention systems on the market. The extraordinary demand for the Evaclean’s front line defense solutions created a need for rapid expansion in supply chain capacity and resources to ensure safe, effective and sustainable implementation across every industry in a post COVID-19 world.

Building upon tremendous growth and wider recognition, EarthSafe has taken steps to solidify its holistic infection prevention platform while moving into 2021 with more autonomy and an even stronger focus on pioneering innovation. EarthSafe made significant enhancements to its key leadership team starting from the very top. Majority Stockholder RJ Valentine assumed the role of Chairman and will zero in on strategic partnerships for product line expansions. Valentine recruited Steve Wilson as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer based on his experience with explosive growth scenarios. Wilson’s background is the perfect mix of cleaning industry expertise and high growth success having built a private equity owned company into the nation’s largest provider of outsourced and managed services for hospitality and entertainment.

Chairman RJ Valentine said, «Wilson’s leadership will guide EarthSafe to the next level and beyond.»

EarthSafe’s newly formed Innovation Department will be headed up by co-founder and now Chief Innovation Officer Jeremiah Gray, whose efforts were integral to the creation of EvaClean. Gray’s group will be responsible for developing products and technologies to enhance and expand its infection prevention solutions and advisory services. Newly appointed Chief Experience Officer Flavia da Silva-Benson will continue to lead compliance and operations initiatives, while augmenting user experience in the core industries they serve. She will oversee all regulatory agencies, compliant marketing programs, set product safety guidelines as well as institute training and operational protocols to support key customer partners.

Incoming and legacy leadership are united in their commitment to secure EarthSafe’s position as a leading infection prevention solutions company and one of the most respected authorities on healthier disinfection for a safer future in the new normal.

ATLANTA, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Home Depot^® today announced that it will open three new distribution centers in Georgia over the next 18 months to support the growing demand for flexible delivery and pick-up options for Pro and DIY customers. The expansion is projected to bring approximately 1,000 additional jobs to the Atlanta area, including full-time and part-time positions.

<div…

«Retail has changed more in the past four years than in our company’s 40-year history. Customers expect to shop whenever, wherever and however they want – whether they’re buying a hammer or a pallet of pavers,» said Stephanie Smith, senior vice president of supply chain development and delivery. «We’re investing to meet the changing delivery needs of our DIY and Pro customers, whether they’re at home, at their job sites or picking up in the store.»

In 2017, the company announced a $1.2 billion investment to expand its distribution network with approximately 150 new supply chain facilities nationwide, with the goal of expanding the company’s existing same-day and next-day delivery options to 90 percent of the U.S. population. These facilities include a variety of formats to meet the unique needs of customers, from small parcel packages to big and bulky product.

The largest of the new Atlanta-area facilities is a 657,600 square-foot distribution center in Locust Grove that will focus on fast replenishment to stores in the Southeast. Initial hiring is underway for approximately 600 associates to fill a variety of roles when the operation opens in the next few months. Interested jobseekers should visit careers.homedepot.com for a quick and easy application or text JOBS to 52270 for a link to apply to local positions.

A new «flatbed delivery center,» set to open in Stonecrest in 2021, will offer same-day and next-day delivery of bulk and oversized orders to both Pro and DIY customers. These new delivery services further The Home Depot’s capabilities to serve Pro customers by delivering large, oversized orders and materials directly to a Pro’s job site, when and where they need it. Earlier this year, the company opened its first flatbed delivery center in Dallas to increase the accessibility and reliability of deliveries in that market.

The company also plans to open an order fulfillment operation in East Point in late 2021. This facility will offer same-day and next day delivery of the most popular products primarily ordered by institutional business customers for their maintenance, repair and operations needs.

The Home Depot has created more than 5,000 new jobs in Georgia over the last five years through the opening of various distribution centers and office locations for technology, e-commerce, marketing and customer service.

En 2017, la compañía anunció una inversión de $1,200 millones para ampliar su red de distribución con aproximadamente 150 nuevas instalaciones de cadena de suministro en todo el país, con la meta de expandir las entonces opciones de entrega el mismo día y al día siguiente a 90% de la población estadounidense. Dichas instalaciones incluyen diversos formatos para satisfacer las necesidades particulares de los clientes, desde los paquetes pequeños hasta los productos grandes y voluminosos.

Las instalaciones más grandes en la nueva zona de Atlanta incluyen un centro de distribución de 657,600 pies cuadrados en Locust Grove que se enfocará en el rápido resurtido a tiendas en el sudeste. Las contrataciones iniciales ya están en marcha para reclutar a alrededor de 600 asociados y llenar diversas vacantes cuando las operaciones se inauguren en los próximos meses. Las personas interesadas deben visitar careers.homedepot.com para llenar rápida y fácilmente una solicitud, o enviar el texto JOBS al 52270 para recibir un enlace y postularse a los puestos en su localidad.

Un nuevo «centro de entregas en plataforma», programado para abrir en Stonecrest en 2021, ofrecerá entregas el mismo día y al día siguiente en pedidos voluminosos y enormes para clientes Pro y DIY. Estos nuevos servicios de entrega amplían las capacidades de The Home Depot de servir a sus clientes Pro al entregar pedidos grandes y enormes, así como materiales, directamente en la zona de obra del cliente Pro, cuando y donde lo necesite. A principios de este año, la compañía abrió su primer centro de entregas en plataforma en Dallas para mejorar la accesibilidad y confiabilidad de entregas en ese mercado.

La compañía también planea abrir una operación de preparación de pedidos en East Point hacia fines de 2021. El local ofrecerá entregas el mismo día y al día siguiente en los productos más populares principalmente solicitados por clientes empresariales institucionales para atender sus necesidades de mantenimiento, reparación y operaciones.

The Home Depot ha creado más de 5,000 empleos nuevos en Georgia en los últimos cinco años gracias a la inauguración de varios centros de distribución y oficinas de tecnología, e-commerce, marketing y servicio al cliente.

The Future of Music Education is Here, and Tonara is Leading the Way With it’s Latest Launch, Tonara Connect

NEW YORK, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Tonara, the makers of the popular music practice app Tonara Studio, announced the launch of Tonara Connect, a music education marketplace that connects music teachers and students worldwide.

<a href="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1223672/Tonara_Music_Education.html"…

Technology around music education often looks to cut teachers out of the picture, while Tonara puts teachers right at the center. Tonara’s game-changing app, Tonara Studio, launched in 2018, helps thousands of teachers to stay connected and engaged with their students while motivating practice in between lessons.

«The future of music education is being driven by innovation, connectivity, and empowerment. We strive to deliver on all three in the products, content, and global communities that we build.» – Cara Katzew, VP Marketing of Tonara.

While Tonara Studio helps teachers manage and motivate their students, the newly released Tonara Connect, allows music teachers to grow their studios by removing geographical limitations and making it easy for students from around the world to find them.

On Connect, music teachers are able to create rich, professional profiles, showing potential students who they are, and how they can help them achieve their goals. Music students entering the marketplace can then find the teachers that match their music learning needs, and initiate lessons.

The marketplace currently boasts over 800 teachers and is growing every day, connecting people worldwide through music education.

«We have the potential to do something truly big here. Not just in scale, but in impact. We’ve all witnessed the power of music education, how it unites, and how it heals. This is something that everyone in the world should have access to and Tonara is here to reshape the future of music education and make that possible». – Tonara CEO, Ohad Golan.
