We are introducing new programs every month and even reworking existing programs which provide a bigger benefit to our members.

Frank Ayar Walter’s Shopping Place Pat Hand Discount Drinks Another major development we would like to thank the AFPD staff for is negotiating Al Jonna Picnic Basket/Wine Merchants with the Director of the Michigan Lottery. The Michigan Lottery will be asking all lottery Brian Yaldoo Hills Fine Wine & Spirits retailers to accept credit cards. We were able to convince the director that lottery retailers PETROLEUM/AUTO RETAIL DIRECTORS should be given an option to accept credit card transactions instead of making it mandatory. Kevin Bahnam USA2Go Thankfully, the director agreed, and in a few months, lottery retailers will be given a choice to Vickie Hobbs Whitehall Shell Jim Mandas Broadway Market & Cafe accept credit card transactions. If they choose to accept them for the sale of lottery then they Bill Michailidis Delaware Market & Cafe may receive another 1% commission incentive in addition to the 6% base commission and additional 1% incentive threshold that is already in place. Is this a perfect solution? No it is SUPPLIER DIRECTORS Ken Hebert Coca-Cola Refreshments not, but we are proud of our relationship with the Michigan Lottery and realize that they pay Jason Ishbia Sherwood Foods one of the highest commissions in the country.

Joe Bellino, Jr. Broadway Market I also want to clear the air on various rumors I have been hearing. Some liquor stores, Jim Hooks specifically located in a certain geographic region (Macomb County), believe AFPD supports STAFF & CONSULTANTS gas stations more than we support liquor stores. The truth of the matter is that some people Auday P. Arabo, Esq. President & CEO Ed Weglarz Director, Petroleum are never happy ,regardless of what you do for them! Some people are just uninformed Ron Milburn Director, Ohio Operations or misinformed. I am a proud supermarket owner and I know we do a great job for Kenny Ibrahim Director, Membership Sales supermarkets, liquor stores, and gas stations alike. Still, I find these rumors hard to listen Ila Konja Bookkeeper/Insurance Maegan Hesano Event Coordinator to because we bend over backwards for the liquor category more than any other, but people Tamar Lutz Graphic Designer still complain and always want more. If they stopped complaining and focused on their Angie Kassab Office Manager/Publication Sales Tyler Yaldo Business Development company, they would probably double their business. I just don’t understand how some of Mary Ann Yono Business Development these people want to blame AFPD for everything that has ever happened to their business, Karam Bakoss Business Development yet they’re not even members! I guess it is always easier to point the finger at someone else Veolet Al Harraq Receptionist/Office Assistant Linda Milburn Executive Assistant, Ohio than actually looking into the mirror. I do hope to hear from our members and even those Thomas C. Holmes, Esq. Pepple & Waggoner, Ltd. who are not members on how AFPD can better service and protect the industry.

  • Whose History and by Whom: an Analysis of the History of Taiwan In
    WHOSE HISTORY AND BY WHOM: AN ANALYSIS OF THE HISTORY OF TAIWAN IN CHILDREN’S LITERATURE PUBLISHED IN THE POSTWAR ERA by LIN-MIAO LU (Under the Direction of Joel Taxel) ABSTRACT Guided by the tenet of sociology of school knowledge, this study examines 38 Taiwanese children’s trade books that share an overarching theme of the history of Taiwan published after World War II to uncover whether the seemingly innocent texts for children convey particular messages, perspectives, and ideologies selected, preserved, and perpetuated by particular groups of people at specific historical time periods. By adopting the concept of selective tradition and theories of ideology and hegemony along with the analytic strategies of constant comparative analysis and iconography, the written texts and visual images of the children’s literature are relationally analyzed to determine what aspects of the history and whose ideologies and perspectives were selected (or neglected) and distributed in the literary format. Central to this analysis is the investigation and analysis of the interrelations between literary content and the issue of power. Closely related to the discussion of ideological peculiarities, historians’ research on the development of Taiwanese historiography also is considered in order to examine and analyze whether the literary products fall into two paradigms: the Chinese-centric paradigm (Chinese-centricism) and the Taiwanese-centric paradigm (Taiwanese-centricism). Analysis suggests a power-and-knowledge nexus that reflects contemporary ruling groups’ control in the domain of children’s narratives in which subordinate groups’ perspectives are minimalized, whereas powerful groups’ assumptions and beliefs prevail and are perpetuated as legitimized knowledge in society.

  • A&P Stock Rises on News of Sale
    - Advertisement - A&P stock rises on news of sale May 11, 2005 The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., the owner of A&P supermarkets, hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. to find a buyer for its Canadian grocery-store business, a sale that could raise more than $1 billion. This announcement, combined with its latest financial results and a planned major restructuring, led to sharply higher stock prices the week of May 9-13. A&P plans to sell A&P Canada, divest itself of its Midwest operations, and concentrate on its core operations in the broad corridor from Connecticut to Washington, DC. Christian Haub, chairman of the board and chief executive officer, said, "The strategic, operational and financial steps we are taking are aimed at unlocking the value of our Canadian operations and building the value of A&P for the benefit of all of the company's shareholders. They will enable us to de-leverage and strengthen our balance sheet, focus greater attention and resources on our core U.S. operations, and pursue the implementation of our fresh and discount retail formats. These initiatives will position the new A&P to achieve sustainable profitability, long-term growth and success, and increased shareholder value." The news sent A&P shares to their highest price since mid-2002 on the New York Stock Exchange. They closed May 9 at $22.55, up $4.20, or 23 percent, from the previous close. The previous 52-week high was $18.90. Though some analysts questioned the logic of selling the Canadian division, which is by far A&Ps most profitable, the company is forging ahead.

  • How to Prepare to Exit Your Business During the Pandemic
    13 views | Jun 2, 2020, 07:15am EDT How To Prepare To Exit Your Business During The Pandemic Patrick Galleher Forbes Councils Member Forbes Finance Council COUNCIL POST | Paid Program Money POST WRITTEN BY Patrick Galleher Patrick Galleher is the Managing Partner for Boxwood Partners, a merchant bank in Richmond, Virginia, where he leads sell-side transactions. Photo: GETTY The COVID-19 pandemic has upset plans for businesses across the country. Everything from planned trips to conferences and even day-to-day operations has been upended as we all adapt to what people are calling the new normal. One major point of concern is likely how the coronavirus may impact your plans for retirement or your exit strategy for your business. Or a sudden job shift may have you eyeing the next phase of your career. Maybe you’ve received an unexpected offer to sell your business that you can’t refuse. Regardless of why you’re eyeing a way out, it’s important you’re prepared to handle this major life transition. I have been fortunate to guide many businesses through the sale process. Because of this, I’d like to offer some advice to business owners and highlight some of the things they need to do if they want to gracefully and successfully exit their business. Make Sure Your Business Plan Includes An Exit Plan It might seem as though I’m stating the obvious, but you’d be surprised by how often this crucial detail is overlooked. Rarely have I come across a business owner who has built their business for an exit, and the ones who have planned ahead have benefitted greatly.

    Washington Post Peter Brant, childhood friend Peter Brant: I do consider him a friend in the sense that we knew each other so well. But by the time that he left around 13 to go to New York Military Academy, I think that I really didn’t have much contact with him until he came back to New York and was in business for -- you know, he’s a success coming into the New York. I didn’t really see him very much, hardly at all until the ‘80s and then I kind of reconnected with him in the ‘90s and we were social friends. I played golf with him. He’d been to my house several times in the ‘90s. Michael E. Miller (Washington Post): This one here or -- Brant: No. Miller: Connecticut? Brant: No, I’d been to Mar-a-Lago, not a member there but my sister is. I was a member of the golf course that he has here in Palm Beach but only because it was a corporate membership. And my partner at that time, who is my cousin, who’d been my partner for many, many years and whose father was my father’s partner, loves to play golf and he was a member. So I might have played there twice in my life, you know. So there’s no real connection then. You know, he would write me a letter every now and then, just talking about marriage or whatever and -- 1 Miller: Seeking your advice on things or -- Brant: No, no, no, no, no.
