The Cereal Bowl Announces New Partnership 2008-07-01

With twenty-two franchise units already signed stretching from Florida to Washington, D.C., The Cereal Bowl has enhanced its store design to create a more enjoyable experience for its customers, as well as to take advantage of new green building techniques. The new Miracle Mile location, which is expected to open in July, will be the first of three new stores expected to open late this summer.

Since opening the door to their first café in Miami, the company has received over 3,000 franchise requests. "The Miracle Mile store will be an exciting new step for the company," says Michael Glassman, chief operating officer. "Our flagship location has showed us in the last two years that we can succeed in a more urban area away from a college campus."

In May 2008, The Cereal Bowl signed an agreement with California-based The Sugar Cane Paper Company to create and supply all current and future locations with sustainable packaging made from Bagasse, which does not require the use of any forest resources.

In Spring 2008 the company moved its corporate offices to the Regions Bank building in Coral Gables, Florida. The office, as well as the new Miracle Mile store, will be home to Cereal Bowl University, the company's franchise training program.

The Cereal Bowl is also taking additional action in protecting its proprietary information and trade dress. "We are entrepreneurs ourselves and love when we see other people realize their business dreams," says Josh Radar, CFO and vice president. "However, when we see others trying to lessen our brand or confuse consumers we have to pay close attention. We take it as a compliment that others understand the potency of our concept and are trying to recreate for their own business ventures, but these competitors must comply with laws that protect trademarks and intellectual property, as well as the laws that protect all parties involved in the franchise process.

Sugar Cane Company Introduces ‘Treeless’ Paper Goods 09/10/2008

PANAMA CITY, FLA.—The Sugar Cane Paper Company, the largest manufacturer and distributor of bagasse-made, “treeless” paper goods in the world, announces the availability of bagasse-made napkins, toilet paper, tissue and paper towels; making it the only company with this complete line of eco-friendly products in the U.S. marketplace. Bagasse is the fibrous residue left over in the sugar-making process after the sugar cane has been crushed and the sugar extracted.

All of The Sugar Cane Paper Company’s paper products are from recycled materials—85 percent is recycled waste (bagasse) and the remaining 15 percent, recycled paper. Sugar Cane Paper Company products use only ECF chlorine-free bleaching and are 100 percent biodegradable. They are also recyclable and can be composted.

With tree-made paper accounting for more than 90 percent of the world’s paper production and the largest consumer of our forest resources, The Sugar Cane Paper Company’s products provide restaurants, corporate cafeterias and other retail outlets the opportunity to offer their employees and consumers the most eco-friendly paper goods ever produced. The use of ‘treeless” paper goods also provides the food industry with the opportunity to showcase its commitment to environmentally responsible products and operations.

Price-Competitive Alternative

Beyond eco-friendly, The Sugar Cane Paper Company has developed the most advanced technologies available, making its bagasse-made paper goods comparable in quality to existing paper products on the market and price-competitive—making “green’ affordable in the food industry.

The Sugar Cane Paper Company also produces “treeless” tableware, including bagasse bowls, boxes, cups and plates for the food industry that can replace Styrofoam and other petroleum-based packaging products.

“The environmental community has brought consumer awareness and demand for FSC defined ‘recycled paper’ light-years from just five years ago,” said Mark Harrison, Sugar Cane Paper Company president. “Recycling 54million tons of paper means that we have saved a lot of trees. But, is our recycling rate high enough? Probably not.

“The Sugar Cane Paper Company’s products also come from recycled materials—bagasse— recycled waste that would otherwise be burned, adding to the global warming crisis,” Harrison added. “Or, if not burned, dumped into our already overflowing landfills. And since they are 85 percent free of any tree fiber, they have little impact on our forests.”

Sugar Cane Paper Company this month introduced its new bagasse-made napkins, toilet paper, tissue, and paper towels, according to QSR Magazine.

Mark Harrison, president of Sugar Cane Paper Company, told QSR that the demand for recycled paper has grown by “light years” in the last five years, since more and more people are pursuing paper products made without trees.

“Treeless paper is the next big step in meeting consumer demand for preserving the world’s forest resources,” Harrison said.
