Breaking & Exciting News: First Posted 12/14/06

After having to keep quiet (hard for me) I can announce that The Grape and Usher plan to open many more sites together: nationally and internationally. Inman Park is just the beginning. The next Grape/Usher site will open in late '07 in NYC to coincide with Usher's next album release. This synergy between two incredible brands is very exciting. We had a national press conference to announce the Usher involvement in The Grape. Below are two video clips (I am interviewed in the second one):

Welcome to The Grape family Usher!

The Grape @ Inman Park Finally Open!

Well, we have had a lease in effect for over 2 years at Inman Park here in Atlanta. Tonight we finally opened the doors for business. This was our first ground up Grape and I must say one of the best looking sites in our entire system. Tonight we had our Friends and Family party, it was a great success! I am pictured above with Franchise Partners Usher Raymond IV aka Usher and his partner Solomon Smallwood. This is Usher's first Grape and Solomon's second. We are very excited that they are part of The Grape. Tomorrow night is the VIP party. Details and pictures to follow later. Go Grape!

Busy, Busy, Busy: Grape Updates

Well it has been a crazy month. We just opened our newest Grapes: Int'l Plaza in Tampa, Pointe Orlando in you guessed it Orlando off of I-drive, Bonita Springs in North Naples at the new Simon Shoppes. Later this week we will be opening at Inman Park in Atlanta, be on the lookout for a neat announcement about this one and next week hopefully the city of Coral Gables will finally give us a CO so we can open at Merrick Park. At the end of the month we will have 21 Grapes in operation. I cant wait to take a vacation! Stay tuned for more Grape news soon. Hope everyone is doing well!
