Family-Owned and Operated Small Business LaTrelle’s Wins $334 Million Contract to Redesign Dining Options...
HOUSTON - January 11, 2023 - (Newswire.com)
LaTrelle's, the premier Houston-based firm specializing in owning and operating award-winning franchised and licensed restaurants in major airports across the country, has announced an exciting new $334 million contract with the City of Houston for William P. Hobby Airport, the first and only 5-Star airport in North America. LaTrelle's will begin work on the renovation of the airport's core dining destinations later this year.
Occupying 17,000 square feet of restaurant space, the new additions will elevate beloved local Houston brands and ensure national favorites are also offered with LaTrelle's signature blend of elite service, quality, and consistency. Feature brands LaTrelle's is proud to operate through franchise or license agreements at Hobby Airport will include Common Bond, The Rustic, Velvet Taco, Dish Society, Pinks Pizza, and Fat Cat Creamery, as well as Peet's Coffee, Jersey Mike's, Wendy's, and Dunkin'.
Construction will take approximately two years to complete. Food and beverage service will be uninterrupted at the airport as renovations are carried out in phases, ensuring travelers have myriad dependable dining options every step of the way.
Founded by W.A. James Sr., LaTrelle's debuted in Houston almost 40 years ago. As a bakery in the heart of Hobby Airport, LaTrelle's of Houston became an instant go-to for travelers thanks to delicious baked goods relying on James family recipes, as well as treats from other hometown vendors. LaTrelle's soon added the first airport Wendy's and Subway in the country to its Hobby Airport portfolio. Currently operating more than 30 restaurants in international airports throughout the U.S., LaTrelle's has earned a reputation for excellence and honesty among restaurant operators, the country's busiest airports, and other industry leaders.
"The first LaTrelle's airport location was in Hobby Airport. There, in just 350 square feet, we sold our grandmother's recipes," said Chris James, Business Development Director of LaTrelle's. "Our family all worked there. To grow from that to now overseeing and operating this 17,000-square-foot, multi-brand initiative is such a proud moment for LaTrelle's. We are still a small, family-operated business--and historically, projects of this scope have gone to larger corporations. But we work hard, every single day, inspired by one another and our city."
"We are bringing ourselves to this project, and we are Houston," said Cameron James, Operations Director of LaTrelle's. "Including national brands alongside a list of top local brands in our new plans for Hobby Airport was a natural choice for us, rooted in trust and relationships. We put together a proposal that aims to do right by our restaurant operators and the airport alike--everyone wins. When a local, family-owned and operated business like us is given the opportunity to spearhead a venture like this, it also sends an important message to other entrepreneurs: This is something that can happen in this city."

Ideastream Public Media and Evergreen Podcasts Partner on ‘Living for We’ Podcast Series
CLEVELAND - January 11, 2023 - (Newswire.com)
Ohio's largest independent, publicly supported media organization, Ideastream Public Media (Ideastream), and Evergreen Podcasts (Evergreen), one of the fastest-growing podcast networks in the United States, are teaming up to produce a new journalistic podcast series, Living for We. The podcast addresses livability metrics and recent findings surrounding the health and wellness challenges Black women face in Northeast Ohio, along with sharing firsthand accounts of Black women's experiences in Cleveland's workplaces, schools, and educational systems.
Living for We is a part of Connecting the Dots between Race and Health, an ongoing Ideastream Public Media initiative that looks at how racism contributes to poor health outcomes in Northeast Ohio, along with uncovering what actions local institutions are taking to tear down the structural barriers to good health.
The initial data that inspired Living For We was released back in 2020 when cityLAB of Pittsburgh released a study that ranked Cleveland dead last in terms of livability for Black women. In response, Cleveland's Bethany Studenic and Chinenye Nkemere of Enlightened Solutions published Project Noir, a survey featuring over 450 Black women from the Cleveland area who share accounts of frustration, isolation, marginalization, and discrimination, within the workplace, healthcare facilities, and the education sector. With ChiChi and Bethany of Enlightened Solutions on their team, Ideastream has worked with Evergreen Podcasts to explore these findings through their new audio series, Living for We.
"I'm so proud that we are sharing the unfiltered voices and perspectives of Black women in Cleveland from their lived experiences. We have some well-known guests, including Samaria Rice - the mother of Tamir Rice, and Ayesha Bell Hardaway - Case Western Reserve professor and interim monitor overseeing Cleveland police reform," says Host Marlene Harris-Taylor. "There are also many other women from all walks of life who share their unique experiences about the education, health, and business sectors in Cleveland and what Black women must do to navigate these spaces."
The limited-run journalistic podcast series will be released weekly over three months, beginning March 1st, 2023. Season One of the Connecting the Dots between Race and Health Podcast: Living for We, is made possible by generous support from the Dr. Donald J. Goodman and Ruth Weber Goodman Philanthropic Fund of the Cleveland Foundation. One can subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and many other podcast platforms.
"Evergreen is thrilled to be a production partner for the Living for We podcast," noted Michael C. DeAoia, Chief Executive Officer of Evergreen Podcasts, "When we launched the company six years ago this month - this was the type of investigative, journalistic content we were dreaming of creating. Ideastream has been a wonderful and provocative partner on this podcast. It is required listening."
The partnership with Ideastream adds to Evergreen's ever-increasing robust lineup of over 200 podcasts on six unique podcast networks - Evergreen, Killer Podcasts, Pit Pass Moto, Five Minute News, Ars Longa Media, and Big Whig Podcasts. Evergreen is headquartered in the Downtown area of Cleveland, Ohio.

Scott’s Cheap Flights Announces Rebrand to Going
SCOTT'S CHEAP FLIGHTS ANNOUNCES REBRAND TO GOING
Since 2015, Going has helped our 2+ million members travel and experience the world. The company combines sophisticated software and human Flight Experts to discover flight deals and mistake fares up to 90% off.
Scott's Cheap Flights, a travel service that has saved its 2+ million members more than $500 million on flights, has officially rebranded to Going.
"We knew it was time for a brand change that recognized both where we are today and could also grow with us into the future," said co-founder and CEO Brian Kidwell. "The name Going has this sense of motion and excitement to it that fits perfectly for a travel company like ours."
Going began as a modest hobby after founder Scott Keyes uncovered a $130 roundtrip ticket from NYC to Milan in 2013. But what started as a simple cheap flight email list for friends has now grown to a wraparound travel service, including a cheap flight search engine, multiple newsletters, and a soon-to-launch mobile app. With the company growing beyond just Scott and beyond just cheap flights, the timing was right for a rebrand.
"I work with 65 amazing people and none of them are named Scott," said Keyes. "Each week, we help thousands of people get unexpectedly cheap flights, and every time they write back to say 'thank you, Scott,' I feel supremely guilty! This company has dozens of people who deserve credit, not one person. While the name Scott's Cheap Flights worked great when it was just me, I'm even happier to be at a company we're all building together on our mission to help people travel the world, and that's Going."
Collaborating with the award-winning agency Design Studio and reviewing more than 3,000 names, Going emerged as the ideal name that satisfied the following criteria:
Speaks to travel: The new name had to speak to what the company does, but not in a tired or overly expected way. Names that included the words "travel" or "flight" were set aside in favor of one that conveyed the travel experience more broadly.
Timeless and borderless: The new name had to avoid short-term trends and industry niches, provide room to expand and experiment, and engage a global audience.
Memorable: It was crucial to take this opportunity to streamline and shorten our brand name to something that was easier to recall whether heard on local news or viewed on a billboard. No more "Scott's Cheap Travels" or "Steve's Cheap Flights."
Underscores the company mission: Above all else, it had to align with the mission to help people travel and experience the world. The name Going achieves that.
"While this is a big visual change, one thing that hasn't changed is the soul of this company," said Kidwell. "We'll continue putting travelers first, continue sending out incredible cheap flights, and we're excited to build even more ways to help people travel beyond what we can deliver in an email."
The rebranding effort will also include the long-requested introduction of a mobile app in the first half of 2023, including an interactive map of cheap flights available in real time. The app will be made available for both iOS and Android. In the coming months, Going will also expand their newsletter coverage and introduce Going for Teams, a bulk membership option for companies to strengthen their employee perks.
About Going
Since 2015, Going has helped our 2+ million members travel and experience the world.
