Shelton’s BrandShop sees bright future in online retail BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

t is easy to frame the competition between brick and mortar and online retailers as a classic “in with the new, out with the old” framework, but CEO Reuben Hendell of BrandShop LLC in Shelton thinks his company is in the early stages of a tug-of-war that may never be fully won. His company provides inhouse, end-to-end services from designing and creating online storefronts to handling payments, shipping, warehousing, customer service and more for brands who want to sell their products through their own dedicated online marketplace. “This game is relatively young

versus online retailing in general,” he said. “People have been going to markets since the Dutch created markets. I don’t think that’s going anywhere.” Online retail is certainly growing. The U.S. Department of Commerce estimates total e-commerce sales in 2015 at $341.7 billion, an increase of 14.6 percent from 2014. E-commerce sales last year accounted for 7.3 percent of total sales compared with 6.4 percent of total sales in 2014. And brick-and-mortar-based retailers are struggling, with companies from Kohl’s and Macy’s to Barnes & Noble and RadioShack reporting financial headwinds, repositioning themselves and » BRANDS, page 6

Fight over ivory to continue in Connecticut BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

ee you again next year. That’s the takeaway from the failure of an antiivory bill to pass during the latest state legislative session. Connecticut antiques dealers are happy and animal rights activists are disappointed. And while there is talk of working together to shift focus from the owning and selling of ivory already in the state — and toward further supporting efforts against the ongoing poaching of elephants and rhinos in Africa and Asia — such a move seems unlikely in the short run. The legislation, HB5578, which

sought to prohibit the sale and trade of ivory and rhinoceros horn in the state, was not called for a vote in the legislature as it focused instead on passing the budget. Whether the bill — similar to one that was tabled during the 2015 session — would have passed had lawmakers not run out of time remains debatable. “We are very disappointed — but we will be back,” declared Annie Hornish, a former state representative who is now the Connecticut director of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), which led the lobbying effort to get the bill passed. “This issue is not going away.” “The Humane Society got very

personal with its efforts to get the bill passed,” said Rep. Mitch Bolinsky, R-Newtown, who added that his work against the bill was driven largely by antiques dealer constituents. Bolinsky said that he discussed the bill at length with Rep. James Albis, D-East Haven, assistant majority leader and chairman of the Environment Committee, about the matter. “He understands what I did in defense of the people of Connecticut,” Bolinsky said. At issue was the bill’s provision to penalize anyone selling ivory in the state; an original proviso making mere possession of ivory illegal was removed. While

an amendment was introduced to allow the selling of ivory and items containing less than 20 percent of ivory through July 2017, dealers still found the bill’s contents excessively punitive — even nonsensical. “They were offering to exclude musical instruments (such as pianos with ivory keys), do this and that, but they couldn’t demonstrate how it was a real problem in Connecticut,” said Jack DeStories, who with his wife, Rosie, runs Fairfield Auctions in Monroe, which maintains it is the state’s largest antiques and fine art auctioneer. “And if your mother has a 50-year-old piano, she could be susceptible to a $3,000 fine and

potential jail time. That’s how ridiculous they got.” Joining the HSUS in supporting the measure were such animal rights organizations as Born Free USA and the International Fund for Animal Welfare, as well as the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport. Arguments such as DeStories’ “are what we encounter anytime this comes up,” said Born Free USA CEO Adam M. Roberts, whose organization estimates that 101 elephants were slaughtered for their ivory per day from 2012 to 2015. “The point is that once that (July ’17) grace period finishes, that’s the end of the ivory trade.” » IVORY, page 6

Newtown seeks to become shopping mecca with The Village at Lexington Gardens BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

he motive behind The Village at Lexington Gardens, a multibuilding commercial complex under construction in Newtown, is simple: Making Newtown a destination for visitors and shoppers throughout the state and beyond. “We’re looking for something similar to people going to West Hartford or Greenwich without a specific activity or place in mind — just waking up on a Saturday and saying, ‘Let’s go to Newtown,’” said Betsy Paynter, the town’s economic development coordinator. Located at 30 Church Hill Road on the former site of Lexington Gardens, a longtime plant, home decorating and giftware retailer that closed in 2011, The Village will occupy 61,000 square feet of new space, or a total of 72,000 square feet when taking into account the existing Chase Bank building, which will be incorporated into The Village. Hanging on to the Lexington Gardens name made sense, said Doug Rose, Vice President asset services, Coldwell Banker Commercial Scalzo Group, the real estate broker for the site. “The nursery was already a destination for people — next to the flagpole (an iconic 100-foot high pole on Main Street whose history goes back to 1876) it was probably Newtown’s number one attrac-

But there is also a growing number of people who live here who want to work here and stay here. We believe The Village at Lexington Gardens will be a destination for residents and visitors alike. — Betsy Paynter

tion. And even though it’s been closed for years, (unaware) people still make pilgrimages there. We thought, ‘Why create a new name when we’ve already got such an attractive one?’” Ground was broken for the seven-building, $10 million to $12 million complex by developers Mesa General Contractors of New

Milford 18 months ago. A grand opening is scheduled for December, though several businesses expect to open by October or November. It represents the largest commercial redevelopment in Newtown in two decades. Each building features a two-story design and elevators, with the ground floor given over to retailers and the second floor being utilized for office space. The complex will offer 310 parking spaces, with employee parking in the rear of each building. New sidewalks are being put in to encompass the nearby extant Caraluzzi’s grocery store, a liquor store and the Barnwood restaurant, as well as the Chase building, which also features popular eatery Bagel Delight, and the separate Japanese restaurant Toro. Adding to its accessibility will be a traffic light being installed at the intersection of Church Hill Road and The Boulevard, allowing for two lanes into The Village and one out. Along with other traffic lights nearby, Paynter says, “We expect traffic flow to be a lot better.” Newtown currently estimates traffic at over 18,000 cars daily. The new space will be anchored by a pair of restaurants, each with seating for 100 people and featuring “new, upscale progressive American dining,” according to Rose. Maintaining a prime location at the center of The Village will be Dental Associates of Connecticut (DA), relocating from its cur-

rent Newtown location at 11 Church Hill to take over a 15,000-square-foot space with 39 chairs, making it the largest dental facility in the state. “We needed the space,” said the firm’s Dr. David Kessler, who noted that DA — which also has offices in Danbury, Shelton and New Milford — will move all of its orthodontics practice there. “Where we are now, you can’t have pediatric and orthodontic work done at the same time. We could work at the same space but not at the same time. This brings both of them together.” Kessler added that The Village’s central location “in the heart of the business district” was a prime attraction. Parents can now drop their kids off for braces and wander around the complex, whereas before they were pretty much stranded at the office. Convenience was also a determining factor for Newtown Savings Bank, which will occupy a standalone building in The Village for customer activities while maintaining its back office operations in its current location at 39 Main St. The bank will also continue to utilize upstairs space in the Chase building for training purposes, according to president and CEO John Trentacosta. “This will probably be the whole center of commerce for Newtown,” Trentacosta said. Although Newtown is Fairfield County’s second largest in terms of acreage — its 57.76

square miles second only to New Milford’s 61.59 — it is considerably spread out, containing a population of 27,560 as of the 2010 census. Long without a central “downtown” retail area — arguably the closest to such a concept is the incorporated village of Sandy Hook, a mile or so to the east of Lexington Gardens — the new development will go some way toward addressing that, according to Newtown officials. “There is such easy access to The Village from (Interstate 84’s) exit 10, which we call ‘The Gateway to Newtown,’” noted Paynter. “That’s where a lot of people enter and this will be a place where you can go, day and night, keeping the vibrancy going.” In addition to the restaurants and DA’s weekend and late Thursday hours, a day spa, dress shop and jeweler will also drive traffic throughout the week, she said. Other occupants include a psychiatrist’s office and other retailers; just 12,000 square feet remains unleased, said Rose. “And this was all done with no advertising, simply word-of-mouth or people driving by and noticing it,” he added. Such fortuitousness also came into play for developers Mesa, Rose said. The principals at Mesa are notoriously press-shy — “though they’re onsite every day and were even directing traffic the other day” — but Rose said they had been looking for some time to add a large retail space to their portfolio, whose 400,000 square feet of properties consists mainly of residential, manufacturing and warehousing. Absent from The Village will be the large retailers that usually anchor such projects like Kmart, Walmart or Best Buy. Although Starbucks and Subway operate stores in the town, zoning prevents drive-through restaurants, meaning that diners looking for the standard McDonald’s and Wendy’s need to go elsewhere. Such decisions have helped Newtown maintain its image as “a nice New England town,” said Ken Weinstein, senior vice president retail banking at Newtown Savings — an appearance he said would be reinforced by The Village. “We are shifting from being a bedroom community to being a commuter community,” Paynter said. Household income is going up, she noted; the average is currently over $130,000. “But there is also a growing number of people who live here who want to work here and stay here,” she added. “We believe The Village at Lexington Gardens will be a destination for residents and visitors alike.”

State increasing eﬀorts at nurturing startups and early-stage businesses BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

onnecticut Innovations (CI), the state’s venture capital firm, is being expanded to help promote new startups and early-stage businesses in the state, as part of the approved budget. As part of that expansion, CI’s subsidiary CTNext will grow from its current size of two full-time employees and several outside consultants to include a new governing body helmed by a yet-tobe-named executive director. CTNext will also be further empowered to support and improve the business climate for companies investing in technology and other processes, and will create and run the Connecticut Small Business Innovation Research Office to provide additional support and assistance. CTNext is described as “Connecticut’s innovation ecosystem,” offering guidance, resources and networking to help startups accelerate the growth, connecting them to collaborative work spaces, universities, vendors and suppliers, and other entrepreneurs to help new companies scale their own businesses. Glendowlyn Thames, director, small business innovation group at CI and CTNext, said the latest legislative development “will have a very positive effect on entrepreneurs and will solidify CTNext’s efforts as we continue to evolve. We will be able to double down on our efforts to move the needle along faster and further.” Thames added that CI envisions CTNext as being a key component in establishing the state as a hotbed of innovative startups, which in turn will help put Connecticut on the map for both new and established companies looking for the sort of welcoming atmosphere that has been established over the past few years in such locales as Cleveland and Boulder, Colo. Though staffing issues have yet to be finalized, she noted that “we had to downsize a lot last year, as well as losing some people to retirement.” New hires could be made in as little as a couple of weeks, she said. Also greeting the expansion of CTNext was Joseph McGee, vice president of the Business Council of Fairfield County and co-chairman of the state’s Commission on Economic Competitiveness. McGee noted that playing into the decision to expand CTNext was the Connecticut Economic Competitiveness Diagnostic report, prepared by McKinsey & Co. and presented to the Commission last month in

Hartford. “One of its findings was that older companies tend to do relatively well, but younger companies in Connecticut are not when compared with other states,” he said. “It became clear that we needed to focus on that.” “This is a very positive development,” he said. “It sends a signal that Connecticut really wants to grow. As they progress,

I expect over the next year to see much more small business activity and growth in jobs creation.” McGee has in the past been somewhat critical of Gov. Dannel Malloy and other state-level lawmakers for not doing all they could to support small businesses. “Fiscal stability is a very big part of confidencebuilding as part of Connecticut doing busi-

ness,” he said. “Constant deficit spending sends a damaging signal.” More broadly, he applauded the new budget’s elimination of a nearly $1 billion deficit while avoiding tax increases. “We have had to get our fiscal house in order for some time,” McGee said. “This is a first step, a good step … but there is still more work that needs to be done.”

People survey needed for Fairfield job growth

s Connecticut and particularly as Fairfield County lags behind much of the U.S. in job creation and job growth, the time to address these issues has never been more critical. Policies that have focused on luring big business with tax breaks, low interest and forgivable loans, and other perks have proven to be at best marginally successful. Programs designed to provide small businesses with incentives to hire and expand has had marginal success, but have ended, and with the current fiscal crisis have little if any chance of being reintroduced or re-funded. The time for new ideas is now. We need to look at the issues that are weighing on the region from another perspective. It all starts with a simple effort in updating our understanding of who resides in the region.

assets are people, and right now it seems clear that not enough work has been done to know who lives in Fairfield County today. Surveying those waiting on the train platforms in the region each morning will allow for a more precise understanding of the professional profile of our residents, our newest residents in particular. Where firms in New York City are competing daily to attract and retain talent, all in one of the most competi-

tive and saturated and expensive markets in the world, here in Connecticut we don’t see such activity. As such an employer relocating to the region could find the most valuable incentive of all — more easily accessible talent. In the wake of the recent announcements of the loss of GE to Boston and most recently, the likely loss of many regional jobs at Starwood, the Department of Economic Development (DECD) has been running ads

on the radio touting Connecticut as a great place to work. To make that assertion more powerful, the time has come to know who we are today, versus who we were demographically. That is a sound strategy that will yield real results. David Lewis is CEO of OperationsInc, a human resources consultancy in Norwalk for small businesses, and of FairfieldCountyJobs. com, a regional job board.

Where more people were getting off the train in Stamford in the morning (because they were commuting each day to our region rather than from) and heading to work, today the numbers have tilted back to commuters leaving the area, to mostly head to New York City. The demographics of the county have changed, measurably, in the last 10 years. Every quarter we have seen new apartment buildings and rental units spring up in Stamford and in many of the surrounding communities. We have several thousand new residents in buildings that cannot seem to be built fast enough to accommodate demand and more buildings continue to rise and be planned, indicating that this growth is going to continue. Where more people were getting off the train in Stamford in the morning (because they were commuting each day to our region rather than from) and heading to work, today the numbers have tilted back to commuters leaving the area, to mostly head to New York City. So who are these people? Most importantly, would they consider good jobs in Fairfield County if they were available? The time to find out is now. If the region wants to attract companies to the area and keep them here for the foreseeable future, not because of tax breaks or loans, then they need to properly understand the region’s assets, and those

closing stores in the face of changing consumer shopping habits. But with online shopping currently approaching 8 percent of total retail sales, it is only a slice of the retail pie and there is ample room for growth in a market Hendell estimates may plateau in the next 10 to 15 years. “It has taken 20-plus years to get to 8 percent,” he said. “Yes consumer behavior is shifting and things are happening much faster, but in my opinion, terminal velocity is 25 to 30 percent, which would be crazy — (Amazon CEO) Jeff Bezos would say ‘I can’t even imagine that amount.’” Going to stores and shopping is just something people love to do, he said. “There is shopping versus buying,” Hendell said. “It is a behavior. Shopping online is just not the same. I don’t care how cool you make it — you don’t touch it, you don’t smell it — it’s anybody’s conjecture where this thing ends up.” After serving as chief strategy officer at eBay, Hendell came to BrandShop, formerly operating under the name SureSource, as a private equity investor when the company restructured in 2014. He has since turned the company around from five years of losing money to a $20 million company projecting 30 percent year-over-year growth in revenue. He attributes significant aspects of the turnaround to a change in the business model he implemented from the start, which has been to reduce the amount of inventory the company purchases and resells and focus predominantly on providing services for brands to sell the products themselves. Working exclusively with Fortune 1,000-

Ivory — » » From page 1

That the bill specified that items containing less than 20 percent of ivory would not be considered illicit was of small comfort to those fighting the bill. “We’re not talking about people bringing in elephant tusks to sell,” DeStories said. “We’ve been in business for almost 30 years and we’ve never seen that. But we have people come in on a weekly basis for free appraisals, and they might have stuff from the 18th and 19th centuries that have some element of ivory, which was commonplace back then. It’s a part of Connecticut’s culture and history. So we tell them that it’s worth such and such now, while it’s still legal … but in the future?”

level companies, BrandShop represents 65 brands including premier names such as Coca Cola, Hershey’s, Jaguar and Land Rover. The cost for setting up and integrating a brand with an online storefront ranges between $100,000 to $500,000. Depending on the brand’s volume of business and level of additional services, the cost can be between $100,000 and $1 million per year, Hendell said. What does a brand get for that kind of price? BrandShop does what marketplaces like Amazon and eBay don’t, which is to create an immersive and broad customer experience for brands to connect with their most loyal and enthusiastic fans, according to Hendell. “Every one of our clients also sells on Amazon, pretty much, but they don’t necessarily sell everything that they sell in their

Many collectors specialize in scrimshaw and netsuke, miniature ivory sculptures invented in 17th-century Japan that were often used as fasteners for robes. “You outlaw that, and those people are stuck,” DeStories said. “It either becomes worthless or it compels them to sell it somewhere else — which is just perpetuating the problem. It drives up the price and makes it more attractive to some collectors.” Hornish at the HSUS maintained that such arguments simply prove her point. “We want to kill the demand for ivory entirely,” she said. “Passing bills like 5578 makes it a lot easier for law enforcement to determine what they’re looking for, and is an important step towards eliminating the killing of elephants for their ivory.” Bolinsky replied that persecuting people

own store on Amazon and that’s one of the core reasons why companies need us to do this,” he said. “Their consumers need to go to someplace to learn all the things about the product they want to tell them.” Through their own online stores, brands can learn more about their customers and reach them across the rapidly changing online consumer landscape with promotions, offers and specialty products only available through their dedicated online storefront. Over the last two decades, meeting consumers online has gone from a low to top priority where brands now interact with consumers across a variety of marketplaces, like eBay and Amazon, and sell and attract consumers through social media platforms, Hendell said. “This is what I believe is the emerging

vision of where direct-to-consumer commerce is going,” he said. The company of 150 employees provides its suite of services from a 300,000-squarefoot-office that includes a multistory, 125,500-square-foot warehouse. Until the arrival of Amazon’s New Windsor warehouse BrandShop was the largest UPS shipper in the state, Hendell said. In the last few years the company has added brands like Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day, Caldrea and Dollar General, and Hendell is predicting to continue current year-overyear revenue growth projections of 30 percent for the next several years. “We believe we have tapped into a need at a level nobody has in the United States,” he said. “We have some evidence of that in terms of the clients we are working with and winning.”

who own family heirlooms containing ivory is like busting small-time drug dealers rather than going after the large cartels. “We need to be spending more effort at the international level instead,” he said. “Stopping the ivory trade at its source — in Kenya, in Asia — is where we should be spending time and money.” “If they spent a tenth of their energy internationally,” added DeStories, “it would all end tomorrow.” Nevertheless, the state-by-state effort to ban ivory continues. Earlier this month, Hawaii’s senate voted unanimously to restrict the sale of ivory, rhino horn and other wildlife products, joining New York, New Jersey and California — states where the ivory trade is much larger than in Connecticut. A bill similar to 5578 is pending before the Rhode Island legislature.

Westchester Airport FBO getting an extreme makeover IMPROVEMENTS ARE DESIGNED TO 'CLASS UP' THE AIRPORT

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

illion Air, a Houston-based aviation company, will invest $70 million in new infrastructure at Westchester County Airport, according to president and CEO Roger Woolsey. The upgrades include a new terminal, expanded hangar and a reception building. The County Board of Legislators unanimously approved a new 30-year ground lease agreement on May 16, allowing Million Air to operate both a light aviation facility and a full-service heavy aircraft fixed-base operation, one that will provide a range of services including fueling and general aviation maintenance. For the light aircraft portion, Million Air will pay the county a percentage of revenues that will increase every five years. Rent for the fixed-base operation will be $261,360 annually for a 6-acre area for the first 43 months and will then increase to $725,274 per year for a 9-acre area. The original lease, which was entered into in 1999, allowed Million Air to operate a light general aviation facility at the airport. Rent was roughly $60,000 per year. The project is expected to add about 170 jobs over the next two years. During a conversation presented by the Business Council of Westchester, Woolsey said that the upgrades will include fireplaces, high ceilings, aluminum archways and even a Starbucks. He added that these new facilities will also force other fixed-base operations currently at the airport, including Signature Flight Support and Landmark Aviation, to “class up.” Woolsey said that he wants those who fly into Westchester County Airport “to feel that Ralph Lauren feel before they ever make it to their car.” The renovation plan faced some pushback from the community, who worried it would lead to an increase in landing and takeoff noise. On the contrary, Woolsey said, these upgrades will cut the airport’s landings in half because a majority of planes are currently flying in from nearby airports without passengers on board. “The aircraft come in empty to pick up their executives, they do their business, they come back, and they fly back empty,” he said. “We want those aircraft to bed down here.” Business Council Executive Vice President John Ravitz said that this is “a huge, huge win for Westchester County,” and that the project is a “step in the right direction” towards allowing “more businesses and private companies to understand that

Westchester Airport can be a great location for them to come and fly into.” Woolsey noted that the Westchester County Airport is “an odd airport” that is “misunderstood” by both the community and its current airlines, but he hopes to help change that perception with these improvements. The conversation, which was sponsored by People’s United Bank and held it the Castle Hotel & Spa in Tarrytown, also touched on Woolsey’s background, from his humble beginnings growing up in public housing to his early career as a pilot, jetting mega-stars like Stevie Nicks and Garth Brooks across the globe. Woolsey is also CEO of American Jet International, a company that offers charter and aircraft management.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Do your homework before oﬀering something new Making a profit on something new can be a challenge. Had we not launched a new offer last year, we might have avoided losses in the past six months. But then we’d have one less thing to sell, which would also be a problem. How do we know which type of work is the most profitable? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Try out new products or services on existing clients first. Price according to market need. Expand to new clients when you know you have an offer that works. Make sure to price in a margin for error. Allow the new venture enough time to get off the ground. When bringing a new product or service to market there are bound to be glitches. Don’t risk losing a new customer by exposing them to things that could go wrong. Start by focusing on a group of clients you can trust, who will test your products without jeopardizing your relationship. Go to those clients who will give you honest feedback and who will work with you if things aren’t right. Do your homework on what the market

will bear. Ask test clients to provide input on value. Did this product or service make their world better? In what way? How does that translate into savings greater than cost? How much would they pay to get their hands on that kind of savings all the time? If it looks like your product or service doesn’t make your customers’ world better in a compelling way, go back to the drawing board and figure out a better approach. Did you offer the solution to the wrong customers? Is your offer too hard to work with? Is the need really out there for what you’re offering? Will tweaking make things better or would you be better off scrapping this solution and working on something else? Once the clients you know and trust are raving about your new offer, and paying the

price you want, then, and only then, is it time to branch out to bring on new buyers for your newly tested offer. You want to stay away from prospects while in the testing phase for two reasons. If you make a mistake delivering, you might lose the new client forever, since they don’t have the positive experiences with you that your current clients have. Secondly, if you make a mistake on pricing, and have to go back to ask for an increase, existing customers will be somewhat understanding, but new customers might think you’re trying to take advantage of them. When figuring out the right price for your new product or service, temptation may be to price low in order to get over the hump of people asking, “What is this new thing, and why should I use it?” Or, you might look at what competitors charge for similar solutions and set your price in the same ballpark. Don’t do it that way! Do your homework and figure out the value proposition. Why would people want this offer, and how will it make their lives better? How is this better than what the competitors are offering? Create an exclusive “can’t live without it” approach through your

marketing materials, and price to that value. It’s usually easier to lower a price down the road than it is to raise a price. If you aren’t sure about what to charge, set the price high and offer a first-time user discount. In trade for the discount, ask users for detailed feedback on the value of the product or service. Use those testimonials to justify a higher price when you do a full launch. Allow ample time to test and make adjustments. Make sure your ultimate market is large, long-lasting and can afford what you can offer. Line up multiple ways to get the word out once you’re ready to go live. LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK?

Fairfield County business owners jump on trampoline trend BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

ounce! Trampoline Sports has opened for business in Danbury, marking the fourth indoor trampoline park to open in Fairfield County in two years. And such growth is not confined to the county, said Danbury Bounce co-owner, Lisa Cannon. “It is sweeping the world,” she said. The International Association of Trampoline Parks (IATP) states by the end of 2015 there were 460 parks open in North America. The organization expects that number to increase to 563 by the end of 2016. Internationally, the IATP counted 220 parks open at the end of 2015 with an additional 85 to open by the end of this year. Despite the abundance of locations in the county, Lisa and her husband, Rob, were drawn into the business model after they experienced it firsthand after their 12-year-old attended a birthday party at a trampoline park. “I loved the model, nothing breaks, there is nothing mechanical,” said Rob, a former hedge fund manager. “I said ‘this is fantastic.’ I looked at how lucrative it could be and decided the business model makes sense given the massive capital investment. In this day and age it was right in line with a traditional return.” With more than $2 million invested to build and set up the 43,000-square-foot Prindle Lane park, including $60,000 in franchise licensing fees, Rob declined to specify revenue projections, but conservatively estimates 1,000 customers a day on busy weekends. Insurance alone is a multimillion-dollar expense, he said. The park features several activity areas set on floors entirely made of trampolines. Entertainment includes bungee slingshots, dodgeball, slam-dunk basketball courts, extreme obstacle courses and glow in the dark nights. Prices at the park range from $10 to $25 per guest, depending on how much time guests play in the park, and price reductions for children ages 6 and under. In charge of marketing and sales, Lisa expects the facility to offer a variety of programs including toddler, fitness and specialeducation classes in addition to parties and corporate events. Lisa, who worked as an oil trader prior to raising her and Rob’s family in Weston,

said she was particularly attracted to the business model by the fitness benefits the park provides. “You can’t find this anywhere else — where you can do this range of exercise,” she said. “You can burn up to 1,000 calories in an hour. You can be very innovative in the workout and its fun, that’s the difference between running on a treadmill and working out on a trampoline.” The Danbury site will also feature volleyball, a unique offering within the franchise and a personal request by Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, Lisa said. “Volleyball is very big in Danbury and the mayor personally asked us if we’ll have volleyball,” she said.

The unique offering, in addition to the park’s slingshot bungee, was developed by operations manager and former Cirque du Soleil performer Victory Byrne. Rob and Lisa said their park is expected to hire up to 70 part- and full-time employees. Despite the multimillion-dollar startup costs, which Lisa acknowledged has been more than expected, the Cannons are confident they’ve picked a winning franchise with their park located off of Interstate 84 and in close proximity to well-established retail stores and restaurants. “This is of kind of like a field of dreams,” said Rob. “You build it and you hope they will come.”

DIAGEO, FACTSET NAMED TO LIST OF TOP 50 PLACES TO WORK FOR NEW DADS

BRYNWOOD PARTNERS OF GREENWICH READIES $415M SALE OF HIGH RIDGE BRANDS

FIRST NIAGARA FOUNDATION COMMITS $1 MILLION TO MENTORING PROGRAMS

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES PRODUCER DIAGEO and financial data and analysis provider FactSet have been named two of the top 50 places in the U.S. for new dads to work by Fatherly, a digital lifestyle guide for men entering parenthood. Based in London, with its North American headquarters in Norwalk, Diageo’s brands include Johnnie Walker, Ketel One and Guinness. “Plenty of companies offer flex time to their employees, but at Diageo they walk the walk and claim that 95 percent of employees utilize flex time to some degree in their personal work schedules,” according to Fatherly, which also cited the company’s practice of giving employees up to eight hours of school activity leave (up to 40 hours per year) each month for inclusion on the list. Diageo placed 34th on the list, with Norwalk-based FactSet being the state’s only other representative on the list, at 46th. Fatherly’s report focuses on such factors as paid leave for new fathers, corporate flex time policies and their adoption across the workforce, corporate childcare policies, and additional company benefits that explicitly add to family well-being and overall work/ life balance.

THE GREENWICH PRIVATE EQUITY INVESTMENT FIRM Brynwood Partners VI LP has announced an agreement in principle to sell High Ridge Brands Co. of Stamford to the Manhattan firm of Clayton, Dubilier & Rice for $415 million. Formed in 2010 by Brynwood to purchase the Zest personal cleaning brand from Procter & Gamble, High Ridge has since acquired other personal care brands including the Alberto VO5 brand in the U.S. and the worldwide marketing and brand rights to the Rave brand from Unilever, the global rights to the Coast brand from Henkel, the White Rain brand from Sun Products of Wilton, Continental Fragrances, owner of the Salon Grafix and High Beams brands and other personal care brands from Newhall Laboratories. The additional terms and conditions of the transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval, were not disclosed. The deal is expected to close in this second quarter.

The building is the tallest residential rental building in the city and hailed by the developer as another iconic structure in the cityscape. F.D.

THE SUMMER HOUSE, A 22-STORY, 226unit high-rise on 185 Summer St. in Stamford, is open for new tenants and in the process of leasing. Developed by longtime Stamford real estate developer F.D.

Nearly 1,000 residents participated in the city of Stamford’s first-ever light bulb swap at the Stamford Government Center, where they exchanged nearly 5,000 incandescent light bulbs for new, energy-efficient ENERGY STAR LED bulbs, free of charge. Stamford residents who swapped out five of their home’s old, inef-

ficient light bulbs are expected to save more than $50 in annual energy costs. Combined, these residents will save approximately $50,000 annually. The city used a $15,000 Bright Idea Grant for the exchange, earned through its participation in the Energize Connecticut’s Clean Energy Communities program.

Information for these features has been submitted by the subjects or their delegates.

State Budget Fix: Fourth Time’s a Charm?

eeting more than a week after the scheduled end of the 2016 General Assembly session, state lawmakers passed a deficit mitigation package that closes a near $1 billion 2017 budget gap. The Senate acted first, approving the budget plan negotiated by Governor Dannel Malloy and Democratic leadership on a 21-15 party line vote. It passed the House a day later on a narrow 74-70 vote, with eight Democrats joining all 62 Republicans present in voting no. Another seven House members were absent for the vote. The House and Senate votes marked the fourth time lawmakers acted to close recurring deficits since passing the 2016-2017 budget last June, a budget that featured the second highest tax increase in state history.

That 2015 vote came just four years after the General Assembly approved the largest tax history in state history, fueling the cycle of deficits followed by tax hikes followed by more budget shortfalls. “The cuts are real, and they are difficult, but necessary,” Brennan said. “They are necessary because we are still paying the price for last year’s tax increases that cost us much-needed investment and jobs. “It is essential that the state continue down the path of fiscal discipline, because resorting to past practices will only lead to further erosion of our tax base.”

Red Ink: Connecticut’s Budget Outlook

CBIA president and CEO Joe Brennan called approval of the budget deficit mitigation package “a first step in the long process of addressing Connecticut’s fiscal challenges.”

Nonetheless, after this year’s elections lawmakers will still be grappling with a $1.3 billion deficit for 2018 and a $1.4 billion deficit the following year. “Make no mistake—tax increases next year will be as harmful and ill-advised as they would have been this year,” Brennan said. “The next step is to aggressively pursue additional structural reforms to state government and to adopt effective measures that ensure Connecticut has a workable spending cap that helps avoid future fiscal crises.” Republicans were critical of the latest budget fix, as it did not include a number of key reforms, including a viable spending cap, state employee concessions, and mandatory General Assembly votes on state employee union contracts.

“While the plan does not contain as many structural reforms as we would like, the spending reductions are recurring and will significantly reduce the size of the projected shortfalls in future budgets,” he said.

Spending Cuts, No Tax Hikes The latest budget fix includes no tax or fee increases, does not tap the state’s Rainy Day Fund, and cuts about $860 million in spending. It also assumes the loss of as many as 2,500 state employee positions through attrition, retirements, and layoffs. Spending was cut by 4.4 percent when compared to the original two-year budget passed last June, a budget that sparked broad outcry from businesses, large and small.

The latest budget votes took place during an election year, with voters headed to the polls this November to elect candidates for all 187 General Assembly seats.

Structural Reforms Needed The state’s nonpartisan Office of Fiscal Analysis said the 2017 spending cuts will reduce projected deficits in 2018 and 2019 by more than 40%.

GOP lawmakers also wanted to cut the $11 million in public financing of campaigns for legislative candidates in this November’s elections. That program survived the spending cuts unscathed. The approved budget plan relies on a number of onetime solutions, including sweeps from other funds and off-budget accounts, and counts on enhanced revenues from lotteries and cigarette and alcohol taxes.

“If Connecticut’s economy is to reach its full potential, we must take the best ideas from Republicans and Democrats and have a legislature committed to fiscal discipline, economic competitiveness, and growth,” Brennan said. “We look forward to working with those policymakers who share our goals for Connecticut as we take on the challenges before us.”

HIS WIFE SAID MIDLIFE CRISIS. HIS THERAPIST SAID DEPRESSION. HIS DOCTOR SAID ALZHEIMER’S. NOBODY SAID FTD. Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD) is the most common cause of dementia for people under 60, affecting more than 50,000 in the U.S. alone. Onset strikes earlier in life—when few anticipate dementia—and accurate diagnosis can take years. Families lose active parents and breadwinners without knowing what’s stealing away the person they love. And when a diagnosis is made, there are no effective treatments.
