Some people make a great living, while others make a great life. It’s a special workplace that fosters a thriving environment to do both. Prince William Living asked readers to share the best places to work in the region — companies that inspire, encourage, communicate, mentor, train, promote, and give back. These organizations set the standard for what a great workplace should look like. We celebrate these exceptional companies for their efforts to put employees’ needs at the forefront of what they do.
Milrich Virtual Professionals takes great strides to care for its employees. Founded in 2009 by CEO Melanie Koerperich and based in Woodbridge, the organization provides virtual services to clients worldwide, offering support for administrative tasks, HR, marketing, social media and website management, accounting, and more. Milrich Virtual Professionals fosters active engagement among its employees with great intention.
“Our company has created a culture of care by implementing a Culture Engagement Officer responsible for checking in on a regular basis with new hires and completing stay interviews with the staff bi-yearly,” says CEO Melanie Koerperich. “Our company encourages each staff member to reach out to the community in our ‘Pay It Forward’ challenge each year.”
Milrich’s employee-positive initiatives are many, among them the MVP Gives Back program. In addition, Milrich maintains a “Smile File” where they keep a record of all the compliments staff receive from clients and use Officevibe to send encouraging feedback to the team. The company actively promotes inclusion, communication, acknowledgement, and community service.
Mr. Handyman of Northern Virginia models service both to the community and to its employees. Headquartered in Manassas, the company provides staff for home improvement, maintenance, and repair. Service is at the heart of the company, led by franchise owner Jo McCabe, a retired Navy officer. McCabe is proud of her company’s annual participation volunteering to assist a local military veteran in need of home repairs by providing the labor and materials free of charge.
“Jo is always willing to help out a good cause,” says Tom Payne, business development manager for Mr. Handyman of Northern Virginia.
A strong — and compassionate — leader and solid structure has made the company successful.
“She is always willing to help an employee by lending an ear to listen, or to show them how to do their job more productively,”
Payne says. “Jo’s open door policy is always in effect and she is open to new ideas to streamline processes and to help grow the company.”
Gainesville
ImagiNation offers early childhood education and developmental programs that promote school readiness, exceptional social and coping skills, and a lifetime love of learning. As a partner in children’s growth, they have a primary responsibility to respect, support, and promote each child’s individuality and self-esteem. The school makes great efforts to build community with its staff as well.
“ILC creates flexible schedules, hosts employee appreciation events, and genuinely embraces each employee as part of our work family,” says ILC Gainesville Director Lisa Matteson, who has worked with the company for over 30 years. “This investment in our employees shows a direct, positive return in the relationships and experiences that our employees then foster with our little learners and their parents.”
Staff says the best part of working for ImagiNation Learning Center is that no two days are exactly alike. Each day brings its own unique adventure.
“I often tell people, one does not work for the same company for
30 years by accident — it is because a culture of caring has been created,” Matteson says.
American Type Culture Collection is a nonprofit, global biological resource center and standards organization and the leading developer and supplier of authenticated cells lines and microorganisms. The Manassas-based company provides products, services, and resources scientists need to conduct critical life science research.
ATCC demonstrates its commitment to employees through internal newsletters, communication display monitors, annual health and wellness fairs, celebrations during appreciation weeks, team volunteering opportunities, and more.
Leaders show employees they are valued through ATCC’s rewards and recognition program. In addition, employee health and wellness is promoted through a voluntary, ATCC-paid benefit that offers confidential services to employees who have personal or work-related problems. Also, employees and managers are encouraged to facilitate team-building volunteering opportunities.
“With a rapidly growing workforce, ATCC is dedicated to
(continues on page 6)
ensuring employees are informed, engaged, and have the tools and knowledge to successfully do their jobs,” says Samantha Paro, senior manager for ATCC’s corporate communications.
Manassas & Gainesville
Premier Martial Arts, in Manassas and Gainesville, helps students find confidence, strength, and focus to live their best life. A core tenant of martial arts is mutual respect, which permeates the company culture for students and staff alike. Employees say owner Tim Rook is a dedicated family man, active in the business community, and someone who leads by example. The company has built a close-knit team dedicated to servicing members and the community. Case in point: staff is encouraged to provide free selfdefense seminars to any organization that requests.
“These are provided at no cost, and Tim pays his employees for this time,” says Steven Thomas, Manager and Instructor at Premier Martial Arts in Gainesville.
Staff emphasize the family atmosphere among employees, open communication, and the flexible work environment.
“This place is stellar, and I’ve worked with quite a few companies,” says Robert Turner, staff member of the Manassas location. “I haven’t found one since getting out of the Marine Corps that felt as much like a family as this one.”
Manassas
R.W. Murray Co., a commercial general contracting company, offers pre-construction, design-build, and general contracting services for new base buildings, renovations, and interior build out projects throughout the region. The small construction company embraces staff as family.
“No one at R.W. Murray has a title on their business card — everyone is valued exactly the same regardless of job title,” says Cynthia Herberg, Marketing/Corporate Communications Director.
Work-life balance is important, and R.W. Murray provides opportunities for relaxation outside the office. From the Crab Feast to the Corn Hole Tournament to the Virginia Beach trip, where they pay for the entire family to attend, there is no shortage of fun to balance out the hard work.
“Another unique family trait is that the president of the company does an all company call and announces employee birthdays and work anniversaries on the day they occur. You are also given your birthday off,” Herberg says. “When employees are acknowledged at that level, it is easy to understand the loyalty and longevity that is the norm here.”
Manassas
SPEC Innovations helps the most innovative companies around the world develop complex systems and products through consulting, training, and software. Within its ranks, employees rave over the competitive salaries and great benefits. As a womanowned small business, equal pay and treatment are priorities. Mothers are encouraged to take time and receive paid maternity leave. Employees get flex PTO and all employees are either fully remote or hybrid. (This was the case even before COVID to provide better work life balance).
“We receive tuition reimbursements and are highly encouraged to seek out training on the clock,” says Communications Manager Taylor Duffy.
As part of its benefits package, SPEC offers unlimited PTO, which includes personal time, vacation, sick leave, and holidays.
“This company has completely changed my life,” Duffy says. “I am able to live alone from the pay, live where I want from the remote option, take care of myself with unlimited PTO, be more creative, and perform better work from the lack of micromanaging, and so much more. I am forever grateful to SPEC Innovations.”
UVA Health cares deeply about its people and building a healthy work culture. Recognition is one way staff connects — a dedicated committee develops uplifting team member recognition events. The efforts to connect with staff don’t stop there.
“We support and honor team members’ out-of-work life and priorities by encouraging team members to take time off according to our policy,” says UVA Health staffer Karissa Read. “We foster an environment of care by encouraging staff to submit ideas for process changes or providing feedback and encourage team members to speak up when a mistake has occurred, so there is a learning opportunity without concern of discipline.”
In addition, UVA Health allows staff to take off time from work for volunteering with nonprofits. They also collect team member feedback through engagement surveys and encourage honest input about what works well or what can be improved.
Flexible working options are available, and, for those whose role does not require them to be on-site, remote or hybrid models are encouraged. Also, UVA Health offers a variety of schedules/shifts and self-scheduling options for those required to be on-site.

One of the dreams Matt Buckham and Josh Hunter had when they first started Great Mane Brewery in Haymarket was, in addition to making great beer of course, to create a place for people to come together and feel a sense of community. For them, those two things are inseparable, because their own experience with beer was always intertwined with good conversation and good company.
The two met when they were attending college in the aughts. They went to a small college in western Pennsylvania in a dry town, so unlike many others who developed, shall we say a relationship with beer at keg parties, Buckham and Hunter drove several miles on weekends to a local craft brewery where they would spend hours talking with others about “life, God, and other crazy topics,” says Buckham. Years later, they’ve sought to recreate that experience for others at their own brewery.
The tap room at Great Mane seats about 150 people, and the owners want it to be a place that feels inviting and comfortable. Each table was hand built by Hunter’s father, as was the bar itself. Groups are welcome, and there’s enough room that the owners can create a space for them while the general public enjoys their pints as well. In fact, they even allow groups to come in during off-hours. A VFW post has started meeting there once a month, and now they’ll be helping fellow veterans work through the tangle of government bureaucracy to get their benefits. The owners are thrilled that their space is being used to help others. “It’s exactly what Josh and I were hoping for when we got started,” says Buckham.
And by “everyone,” they also mean children. Buckham has two small children (another is being brewed right now), Hunter has a nephew, and Buckham says his kids are a part of the family business. There’s a kids’ area in the back where they can play while adults participate in Trivia Night. A customer who is also a father has recently started a story hour, where he reads out loud for 30 minutes to an hour, so that parents can have a break and kids can hopefully become inspired to read more. This particular customer is also hoping to start a community discussion group, where people can come together and engage in nonpartisan, civil discourse. Board game nights and live music can also be found on the calendar, though Buckham tries to find that balance between pleasing the customers who like live music and those who want to hear themselves talk.
Make no mistake, Great Mane is as passionate about beer as they are about building community. From the beginning, their approach was one of curiosity, experimentation, and striving for excellence. “We traveled the country, looking for the best
beers in each style,” says Buckham. “And that was when you’d have to drive 50 to 60 miles between breweries. We called them ‘beergrimages.’”
The two started in the home-brewing scene, making beer in their backyards and garages. They would try to recreate the best beers they had tasted, and to make them even better. “We wanted to make beers you could drink all day long and not get tired of them,” says Buckham. They’re fascinated by the fact that beer is only made from four ingredients — water, barley, yeast, and hops — but changing one of them ever so slightly can create a completely different taste.
“I love when people come in and say, ‘I hate IPAs’ or ‘I only like Miller Lite,’” Bucker says, and finds that he can often win over new converts with Great Mane’s products. “They’ll say, ‘Did you put fruit in that?’” and then that will lead us into a discussion of how we created that taste.”
And it’s not just craft beer that’s on tap (eight to 14 at any one time, by the way). In service of the family friendly vibe, Great Mane has also added craft sodas, such as root beer and birch beer, and sometimes has a guest soda on tap from another brewer. They also lease space to Remnant Farms, a local brewer of hard and soft kombucha.
In fact, they collaborate with many other businesses, from the food trucks on weekends to the other breweries in the area. Craft brewers are a community in themselves and see each other as collaborators, not competitors. They are the neighbors who walk over to borrow a cup of hops rather than sugar.
The lion in their logo derives from Buckham’s childhood love of fantasy books, in particular The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. The name “Great Mane” was partly chosen because its initials pay tribute to another favorite author, George MacDonald. MacDonald was a Scotsman who influenced both Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, though today he’s not as well known. One of their beers is named “Sir Gibbie” after an orphan character in MacDonald’s books who suffers all kinds of deprivations in life but “always thinks about how he can love the person God put in front of him . . . and we loved that imagery so much that that we had a local artist paint a mural from the book on our wall.”
So pay them a visit if you haven’t already, or even if you have, because Buckham says they try to add something new every week, whether a product or a nook in the brewery where folks can feel comfortable. “It’s a labor of love. We’re constantly asking ourselves, ‘How can we continue to grow, so that someone can always find something new anytime they come?’”
Each year in the United States, an estimated 1.9 million people are diagnosed with some form of cancer. While every diagnosis is different, the disease evokes dread in almost all of us. On top of the toll cancer can take on our health, it can also create significant financial challenges. The Angel Foundation, a Minnesota-based nonprofit that supports cancer patients and their families, estimates that nearly three-quarters (73%) of individuals diagnosed with the disease will experience some sort of financial hardship as a result.
It’s a startling statistic, but even those who haven’t personally been impacted by cancer can understand how the unpredictable costs of cancer care, aggravated by potential loss of income, can be financially challenging, if not devastating. If you or someone you love is coping with a cancer diagnosis, there are strategies and resources available to help contain the financial challenges during an already stressful period. Keep these tips in mind and be sure to seek help where it’s available.
While your physical health is and should remain your top priority following a cancer diagnosis, your financial health is important, too. Take the time to consider how your household income and expenses may be impacted — and steps you can take to mitigate a potential financial toll. For example, if you anticipate you may need to take time off of work to seek treatment for the disease, talk to your company’s HR department about what benefits may be available to you and if your absence qualifies for Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) coverage. Also seek to understand your health care plan to ensure you maximize the coverage available to you when paying bills related to your care. Depending on your situation, consider using your emergency fund (e.g., bank savings account or money market fund) to meet your expenses versus going into debt if you can avoid it.
If you don’t have health insurance coverage — or your policy won’t sufficiently cover the care you’ll need, it’s worth exploring the kind of support you may be eligible to receive. Because bills and debt can add up quickly there are alternative financial resources available to many cancer patients. National organizations like the Cancer Financial Assistance Coalition (CFAC) can help connect patients to financial resources. In some cases, you may be able to find resources closer to home. For example, the Angel Foundation’s™ Virtual Financial Workshops in Minnesota connects cancer patients with a social worker and a pro bono Certified Financial Planner™ through workshops and one-on-one meetings designed to decrease anxiety about managing finances.
Get organized and write down everything. You will likely talk to your insurance company and other financial institutions often. Make sure you have a written record that includes key details of your conversations, including the time, date, and what you talked about it. This is a crucial way to keep track of your medical expenses and handy cross reference when your medical bill arrives. With cancer — or any other disease that requires medical intervention — you will likely be inundated with documents, bills, insurance letters, doctor letters, and invoices, among other items. It is important to keep this paperwork organized.
Some patients are prompted by their diagnosis to get their estates in order, too. Particularly if you have dependents, now may be the time to meet with your estate attorney and ensure your will, trusts, and other documents are up-to-date and in keeping with your wishes. It may feel overwhelming at first (especially with everything else on your mind), but a qualified and compassionate lawyer can help you break it into manageable tasks. Knowing your financial plan is in order gives you peace of mind to focus on your treatment and healing.
A cancer support system — which can be found online, through in-person groups or with friends and family — provides individuals with cancer and their families with information, support, and hope. They can provide a sense of community, which can be beneficial during a difficult time. Additionally, support systems can offer individuals access to information about cancer and treatment options.
A cancer diagnosis can be devastating in so many ways. The financial stress can affect your quality of life and even your recovery, but with basic financial planning and help it doesn’t have to. While the above tips are some of the ways to prepare and cope with an adverse diagnosis, the important thing is to lean into people and organizations that can offer support.

Prince William is filled with remarkable Emergency Medical Services personnel — top notch people who respond to and care for our health and safety. Behind them stands the Northern Virginia Emergency Medical Services Council — a group that reinforces their efforts and the efforts of other EMS personnel in the counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, the Cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Manassas, and Manassas Park, and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
The council's outreach and educational services help EMS provide exceptional services to the community.
"There's a lot of layers to what we do," said Ray Whatley, NVEMSC Executive Director, "But all-in-all, essentially, we're a support system to over 50 EMS agencies, about 11 hospitals, and more than 5,000 EMS providers that are within our region."
The council collaborates with the various fire, EMS departments, and hospitals in the region. It also works with trauma coordinators from the multiple programs that service northern Virginia to develop outreach and educational programs. While they are not a state agency, they are a part of the Virginia Department of Health's Office of Emergency Medical Services. NVEMSC contracts with OEMS to provide the services that maintain a stable EMS system across the Commonwealth.
"We do a lot of planning, coordinating and communication with the various EMS leadership throughout Northern Virginia and that can be from the fire department side, it can be with the private transport agencies that do inner facility transports, and the hospitals themselves," said Whatley. "Our focus is really on serving the comprehensive EMS system of the Commonwealth. We want to make sure that the residents and visitors have access to the best emergency care possible."
According to Whatley, that means coordinating programs that shed light on the importance of EMS providers, including recognition and education programs.
The council's top outreach effort is to help prevent the events that call EMS personnel onto the field in the first place. One example is Stroke Smart, a proactive education initiative to help those in Northern Virginia recognize the signs and symptoms of a stroke and call 911 immediately.
Stroke Smart started in Alexandria five years ago. They began working with the council within the last couple of years to have all the municipalities adopt a Stroke Smart Proclamation.
"I am happy to say that we now have every city and county on board with promoting Stroke Smart here in Northern Virginia," said Whatley. "So it's great we have bipartisan support to make Virginia more Stroke Smart. We can help people prevent having bad outcomes from a stroke by recognizing them early."
The initiative helps stroke patients activate a 911 system that transports them to the hospital early for medical treatment to increase their odds of avoiding lasting neurological effects from a stroke. Educational videos and additional information about Stroke Smart are available at nvems.org/strokesmart.
"We have tons of videos on how to become Stroke Smart," said Whatley, explaining that the council is working to duplicate the stroke information in as many languages as possible.
"We're actually getting ready to publish a Korean video on Stroke Smart, and we have a Spanish video we're launching, as well," he said.
The council's Whole Blood program also increases northern Virginia patients' survival rates in emergencies with blood donor services that help transport blood to the field, so that patients can receive blood transfusions faster.
"Some EMS agencies — Arlington, Loudoun, and Fairfax county police carry whole blood which means that in a life-saving situation where a patient needs blood, they have the ability to give whole blood right there at the patient's side, rather than having
to transport them to a hospital or trauma center to get blood," explains Whatley.
The council also started FACT*R (Field Available Coordinated Transfusion Response), another way EMS providers transport blood to trauma events. When another agency needs blood, they can transport it from the Inova Fairfax Hospital and Inova Loudoun Hospital blood bank to the field.
"We're getting it [to a place that] the whole blood program is readily available in those situations that a patient needs blood," said Whatley.
Whatley said providing services that strengthen fire and EMS agencies in their district is a core component of their mission, mainly through supporting Virtual Instructor-Led Training and coordinating continuing education credit for EMS providers.
The council's strong working relationships with various EMS councils (11 in Virginia) and Inova Health System allow the student provider and the instructor to communicate entirely through the cloud during the online training. The instructor can offer complex job training in near real-time and the student provider benefits from hands-on instruction.
The training helps providers throughout the region maintain current skills since every EMS provider is required to earn professional credits during their recertification period.
Bringing different agencies together with EMS providers, said Whatley, not only helps ensure the region's EMS providers receive quality education but also allows them to recognize the EMS providers in the system for the great things they do.
Each year, the council creates an awards committee from their board stakeholders to recognize different regional EMS providers. The awards recognize the providers' excellence and outstanding leadership, and honorees become nominees for the Governor's EMS award.
"Our work boils down to the emergency management functions of coordinating regional plans to help make our fire departments work seamlessly and provide the best outcomes for EMS care," said Whatley. "It's a great experience; the system works. But while we may have a major role in the system, we're a small piece in the system."
Whatley said that the council is constantly re-evaluating its work to sustain its programs.
"And within the next year, we plan to have more events, and have more of an impact within the EMS community's outreach efforts,” he said.
All students are taught when they are young to share, but, especially for little kids, that also means sharing plenty of colds, the flu and other germs. The world has been so focused on COVID the past few years, that a reminder of the signs and symptoms of other common viruses can be helpful. When students head back to school, parents and pediatricians notice a spike in contagious diseases common among kids and teens.
"We see several reasons for this," explains Sentara pediatrician Akpomevigho Avbovbo, M.D. "Kids are in close contact with each other indoors in classrooms. Younger kids, especially, are developing their immune system, making them more susceptible."
Some germs, such as cold and flu viruses, stick to surfaces longer than others. It’s important for kids to learn the importance of cleaning their hands with soap and water or hand sanitizer after they cough or blow their nose to help prevent germs from spreading. And to clean their hands before they eat.
As we head back to school, here are five common illnesses to be aware of:
Such a common illness can make kids (and adults) feel miserable! Cold viruses are spread through the air and by touching contaminated objects. If your child has a cold without significant problems, the symptoms should go away slowly after seven to 10 days.
Call your pediatrician if your school-age child develops breathing trouble, congestion or runny nose lasting longer than 10 days, a cough that lasts longer than a week, ear pain or a fever over 102.
For kids who have asthma, back-to-school time can exacerbate their condition. The increase in colds is one reason. Another is new exposure to contaminants in school — such as dust mites, mold, or chemicals — that can cause allergies or asthma flareups.
According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, asthma attacks spike throughout September during ragweed season. Talk to your pediatrician about planning ahead so your child is already on allergy medication before the season strikes in full.
Technically, this is known as gastroenteritis, causing an upset stomach, vomiting, and diarrhea. A virus is usually to blame.
When children throw up, they can become dehydrated and may need electrolyte or oral rehydration solutions. Most cases of stomach flu resolve in 24-48 hours. Students must wait 24 hours after they last vomited to return to school.
The influenza virus causes the flu. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, children (0-17 years) are the most susceptible age group for getting the flu.
The flu virus spreads through tiny droplets when infected people cough, sneeze, or talk. People can also get sick by touching an object an infected person has touched and then touching their nose, mouth, or eyes.
Annual flu shots are the most effective way to prevent the spread of the flu. The CDC recommends people be vaccinated by the end of October. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for the body to develop antibodies that protect against the flu. Antiviral drugs can shorten the duration of the flu and prevent complications, but they are most effective if started within two days of getting sick.
Also known as conjunctivitis, pink eye occurs when the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye is infected. If it’s caused by bacteria or a virus, pink eye is contagious.
Pink eye spreads when someone touches an object that has been contaminated by someone with pink eye. It can also be spread through handshakes and even coughing and sneezing.
Prescription antibiotic eye drops can clear up pink eye caused by bacteria. If eyes are tearing and pink, the child is still contagious.
If you suspect your child is sick with any of these conditions, please contact your child’s pediatrician.
From a young age, it’s not uncommon to hear a child say the phrase, “When I grow up, I want to be a…” Ideas about future careers are often learned early on through seeing what family members do or wanting to follow in the footsteps of their favorite television or movie characters. Even though they may change their minds hundreds of times, it’s never too early to provide kids with tools and experiences to help them make the best choices about what they want to do. Here are some ideas on how you can plant seeds to help your child start building their future career mindset.
Imaginary play is a great way to talk to your child about different careers and their roles and responsibilities. You can use dolls and other toys to act out different scenarios, such as playing school, where you could talk about all the things that a teacher does. Use baby dolls to pretend you are a nanny or a nurse and teach methods of care that people in these careers would provide. Use play food or a kitchen to act out being a chef or other roles within a restaurant, such as a server or hostess. Strap on a toy tool belt and “fix” things around the house to learn about handyman work, or build things while you discuss the jobs of carpenters and construction workers.
You can play dress up with old Halloween costumes that may represent different jobs, such as firefighter, doctor or police officer. Use this opportunity for imaginary play to ask your child questions, such as, do you know what it means to have this job? Why would this be a job you would like to do?
Head to your local library and search for books about various careers. There are nonfiction books available
about all kinds of jobs — what a person does, what they wear, and where they perform their work.
There is always an opportunity to discuss jobs with your child any time you leave your home. When running your
errands, make a point to highlight all the people you encounter and the jobs they are doing. If it’s a situation where the person has the time and ability to do so, have your child ask a few questions about their job that you may not have the answers to or that they may simply be curious about. As you see people working in action, take the time to talk about the job setting. If being outdoors isn’t something your child enjoys, then being a park ranger may not be their thing. If your child enjoys movement, notice the more active jobs around you.
You can also mention attire, such as uniform or no uniform, business suit, or casual wear. These things will be important when your child is making their future plans but are often overlooked since most discussions revolve around the job tasks and salary.
Take Your Child to Work Day isn’t just a day off from school for kids. It’s an opportunity for them to see a parent or caregiver in their work environment and to learn about their career and the jobs of coworkers. If your employer participates in this day, check with your child’s school to make sure this will be an excused absence
(most schools in our county allow this) and plan for your child to join you at your workplace. Have them dress in similar attire as you normally would. Talk to them about the importance of being on time and duties that need to be completed.
If your child shows a strong interest in a particular career, reach out to a business in that field to see if there is an opportunity for them to job shadow for a day. For teens, some businesses have internship programs that are longer term and allow students to take a deep dive into a career to help them decide on their future path.
The most important thing you can do to help expose your child to their future career is to be open-minded and encourage them to learn more, even if it’s not your first choice for them. Helping them decide their future helps reach that ultimate goal we all have for our kids: seeing them love what they do so much that they never feel like they have to work a day in their lives.
Jennifer Halter (jenniferh@macaronikid.com) is a contributing writer and the founder of Macaroni Kid in Woodbridge.The pastries of today, largely associated with classic French cooking, actually have a long history dating back to Egyptian times.
It was a basic concoction back then, mainly made with ground grains, nuts, and seeds. The sweet and savory versions enjoyed now, known to be made with copious amounts of oil or butter, have a coveted place in many tummies and plates around the world, from traditional American pie crusts to flaky Indian flatbreads.
The European and Asian fusions offered at Tous Les Jours give patrons a unique variety of flavors, combinations, and bakery selections. And it’s all in Gainesville’s Atlas Walk, so residents don’t have to travel far to try something new.
Whether the pastry whim is a buttery croissant or a red bean donut, Tous Les Jours delivers a twist on a classic cafe experience.
Hans Park, Manager at Tous Les Jours in Atlas Walk, says this franchise location is run by his father in law, Robert Lee, and family members Sung Dong Oh and Young Dong Oh.
“My father in law is from the area, and it’s a way to be back in the community,” said Park.
Newcomers and regulars alike can expect a different kind of environment at Tous Les Jours, which means “every day” in French. According to Park, it’s a place with warmth, charm, and an unbeatable variety of coffees, teas, and bakery items to choose from.
“I don’t think there is another place in Gainesville that has the quality and variety we offer, especially when it comes to the bakery
side,” said Park. “There is such a welcoming feeling here.”
Tous Les Jours is not a mainstream coffee grab and go. There is coffee, sure, and plenty of it like cafe mochas and cold brews, but there are also interesting drink combinations like honey lavender matcha lattes, boba drinks, and blended milk tea beverages.
“We’re a fusion of French and Korean takes on pastry,” said Park. “On the French side, we have items like baguettes and croissants, and on the Korean side we have items like red bean donuts and soft rolls.”
Soft rolls come in strawberry, banana, and traditional milk flavors and are similar in shape to a hot dog bun. With a mildly sweet flavor and melt-in-the-mouth texture, Parks says the roll goes perfectly with a hot coffee or tea.
Park’s bakery favorites on the menu generally lean toward the filled strawberry or mango croissant, or a twist donut.
“If you’re new here, I’d suggest to try something simple, like one of the croissants. Try the caramel apple one,” he said. “Our almond croissants are also particularly popular at the moment with our customers."
Custom, made-to-order cakes are available at Tous Les Jours. Customers can choose from a range of cloud cakes, buttercream cakes, mousse cakes, or even just a single piece of cake to enjoy anytime.
To place a cake order, stop by the Atlas Walk location or call 571-222-7095.
Not in the mood for anything sweet? Tous Les Jours can be a great stop for a quick lunch, and they offer freshly made breads to take home.
Lunch items on offer, like the pizza baguette and croquette kimchi, are definitely a different kind of option to eat in house or brown bag it back to the office. Customers can also get a croque monsieur — a French-style, grilled ham and cheese sandwich — or a sweet frank roll filled with sausage and cheese.
“I think a lot of people are interested in trying something different here. Then they like it and come back for more,” said Park. “We also like to offer samples so people can taste something without committing to it completely. It’s a great way to try our options.”
Bread choices like the multi-grain, whole milk, and purple sweet potato loaf can put a spin on any kind of home made sandwich for later.
As a franchise, each Tous Les Jours may have something slightly different on offer depending on the community and location. Since its Atlas Walk opening in November of 2022, Park is looking forward to more and more residents discovering Tous Les Jours and having a great neighborhood spot to meet, get a coffee or tea, and enjoy a perfectly made savory or sweet treat.
“There isn’t anywhere like us around here,” said Park. “People should definitely come in and give it a try.”
The Atlas Walk location of Tous Les Jours is at 7380 Atlas Walk Way in Gainesville. Hours of operation are Monday to Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday to Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sunday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Jazz is as American as apple pie and baseball. It can be argued that few other art forms are as integral and foundational to our country’s music culture. The genre usually conjures up images of its pioneers — Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, and Duke Ellington, among others. The Manassas Jazz Society brings a slice of this Americana to Prince William, and it has been brightening the lives of residents since the summer of 2021. The society really got off the ground in February 2022 when it was declared a 501(c)(3) public charity, and they made their mark during April, which is the nationwide Jazz Appreciation Month. The Manassas Jazz Society is more than just a place to hear and enjoy music — it’s a space that shines a light on and promotes jazz and its subgenres through music education, live performance, hands-on group workshops, and private instruction. It was created and founded by Chase City native Theo Scott, a talented and extensively experienced musician who has studied music since childhood. Scott has performed all around the country due to his 20-year service in the U.S. Army. Scott also plays several instruments.
Because of his dedication and passion for the jazz art form, Scott sought to cultivate such knowledge through other musicians’ growth and progress.
“Our hands-on workshops for improving music performance are done through rehearsal techniques with a goal of a polished,
more professional live performance — which by the way, can be applied to recording sessions as well,” says Scott. “Some of my personal band arrangements are used in the sessions. Students have the opportunity to learn scoring arrangements for their own bands.”
The Manassas Jazz Society is not an exclusive club, even as its elegant name suggests. Rather than a membership requirement, the society is open to all kinds of musicians in the Prince William area who have some experience and read and perform at the intermediate music level. Instrumentation used in the hands-on workshops includes drums, percussion, bass, guitar, keyboards, trumpet, flugelhorn, saxophone, and electronic wind instruments.
“We are open for all ages where the music experience and reading ability is at an intermediate level, due to the somewhat complexity of the concepts and band arrangements,” says Scott. The most important thing for the society is being known for their love of music. “I can work with you ‘where you are.’ Patience, commitment, and consistency are the key points.”
Scott invests his own money, time, and resources into the Manassas Jazz Society, because he sees a future vision for the organization.
“We operate with a low overhead,” says Scott. “I am, for the time being, the sole provider of services. I’ve donated keyboards, drums, and other percussion instruments, as well as performance microphones and other music equipment for the workshops.” Scott is also a member of the Prince William County Arts Council, and the organization has provided funding for the society as well.
Though the idea of expansion would be tempting, there are no current plans for expanding beyond the Manassas and Greater Prince William area. Outside of workshops, the Manassas Jazz Society has participated in several community events to further their mission. Scott is also involved in several meetings with band/music clinics in Manassas City Schools and Prince William County. The society is working with different music staff personnel who wish to explore teaching strategies to elevate the performance and other skill levels for students who would like to engage in music activities other than orchestra and symphonic ensemble.
Scott is scheduled to start a jazz clinic at Osbourn High School in Manassas this month in September, and in the fall of 2024, he will launch the MJS Musicians Exchange contingent on acquiring a permanent space. The Exchange will give musicians a space for individual practice, group rehearsals, networking, and other activities. There will be open spaces with a stage for large groups and rooms for smaller groups. The society truly seeks to broaden the horizons of aspiring musicians and music aficionados alike.
As the Manassas Jazz Society gets more exposure and demand in the area, Scott envisions a bright future for the organization: more events, even more specialized workshops, and the hiring of more music professionals in the local area as ad hoc instructors.
“A Manassas Jazz Society, Inc. (contemporary) Jazz Festival,” says Scott when asked where he sees the society in the next year. “Current and former students performing on stage with their own bands playing their own band arrangements… MJS All-Star Band headlining the event!” In other words, the Manassas Jazz Society can only go up from here.

Homeownership isn’t for everyone. Renting affords you the flexibility to move with relatively short notice and low responsibility for home maintenance and repairs. But what do you need to know before you preview properties? Let’s go over some key factors to consider before you submit rental applications.
Supporting documents: Do you know where your recent paycheck stubs, prior years’ W2’s, or tax returns, are? These are just some of the documents that may be needed for the application. Make sure all required supporting documents are ready before submitting your application.
The rental market in Northern Virginia is very competitive, with each rental receiving multiple applications in the first few days of being active. Being well organized and returning all communication, paperwork, and signatures in a timely manner will give you the best opportunity for approval.
Credit score: Know your credit history. This is extremely helpful when talking with prospective landlords. Many rental properties advertise a minimum credit score or requirement for “good” credit.
Your budget: What can you afford? Before you get your hopes up and begin looking at homes you can’t afford, know your budget. Most landlords require a monthly income of three times the monthly rent. That means a $2,000 per month rental property requires an annual income of at least $72,000.
Pets: Will you have a pet(s) living with you? Potential properties will advertise whether or not dogs and/or cats are allowed, along with any additional pet fees, monthly rent, and deposit. You may need to provide documentation for your pet such as a photo, current vaccination records, local licensing, and even a separate application.
First month’s rent: Do you have the funds accessible to pay your first month’s rent? Your landlord will usually require payment of your first month's rent to execute your new lease. Be prepared to pay this in certified funds.
Security deposit: Know how much it is and when it is due. A security deposit is money paid to your new landlord to protect them in case you cause any damage to the property or have unpaid charges when you move out. An additional amount may be added if you have one or more pets, or if you have a high risk application. Security deposits are always refundable, and in Virginia the maximum amount a landlord can hold is a total of two month’s rent. You need to have this money available in certified funds, as it could be due to your landlord as early as when an application is submitted.
