Chances are, if you are reading this newspaper, then you are someone who is driven and business oriented.
Probably somebody who is an entrepreneur or someone who is committed to achieving the highest levels in their profession. I understand that mindset completely. I am that person too.
That is why I am so passionate about helping people achieve their best selves. It all starts with your health.
Oftentimes, it is the most driven people who tend to be the most unhealthy. Working as a physical therapist for over 30 years has exposed me to disease and illnesses that result from poor nutrition, stress and unhealthy habits. Over the last 15-20 years, the population of people I treat has increasingly shifted from simple orthopedic injuries to more complicated cases of patients who are simply “sick” with obesity-related medical illnesses and physical dysfunctions.

Two months after announcing the permanent closure of their location in Malta, Wired Coffee Roasters has opened a coffee shop in the newly-renovated Roosevelt II Baths and Spa in Saratoga Spa State Park.
The ribbon cutting took place on July 20.
According to owner Marty Michele (pronounced Michael), the closing of the Malta location was heavily influenced by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We had a nice run there, but it just wasn’t viable for us to survive,” he said.
Although the Malta closure was unexpected, Michele said plans to open a shop in the park were already in motion. He received notification in February that Wired had won a statewide bidding process and had been selected to occupy space in the Roosevelt II. As part of their agreement, the park receives a portion of monthly sales in lieu of rent.

Quad Graphics plans to invest $45 million in plant upgrades and was recently awarded $1.05 million in tax incentives from the Saratoga County Industrial Development Agency (IDA).

The company said it will be installing two state-of-the-art commercial printing presses in its Saratoga Springs plant where they print magazines, catalogs, and retail print inserts.

As part of the incentive package, Quad said it will save $211,000 in sales tax on equipment purchases. It will save an additional $105,000 a year in property tax as part of a 10-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement that freezes Quad’s property assessment.

According to Rod Sutton, IDA chairman, Quad Graphics approached the agency in October. At that time, the Saratoga Springs plant was one of 10 in the U.S. being considered as the location for the new presses. Quad Graphics has more than 35 plants in the U.S. and also has plants in Latin America and Europe.

Joyce Locks has consolidated her three Hatsational storefronts into two. The remaining stores are located at 508 and 510 Broadway in downtown Saratoga Springs, in the Algonquin Building near the Saratoga City Center.

The lease was up on the third store, but was not renewed to cut costs.

“It will put me in a stronger position to come out on the other side of this pandemic, if I scale down to two stores for now,” said Locks. “As my lease came due, I had this vision that we wouldn’t open anytime soon. Then when you consider there are no conventions, no weddings, no concerts, no racetrack,” she said. “My business is driven by all of those factors.”

“I intend to survive this, and this is the best way for me to come out strong. We can always open a third store another time,” said Locks.

By Susan E. Campbell
Prime Group, a real estate investment company and a major owner/operator of self-storage units, plans to build a six-story building on Broadway in Saratoga Springs that would become its new office spaces and house other tenants.
The company has outgrown its office space at 85 Railroad Place in Saratoga Springs and is planning to relocate headquarters to the new construction on Broadway, opposite Congress Park, according to founder and chief executive Bob Moser.
The structure’s design calls for six stories with two levels of underground parking.
“Our staff will occupy the top two floors and the rest will be rented,” said Moser. “Tenants will be service providers such as lawyers, accountants and the types of companies Prime works with,” he said. “We are a relationship driven company.”
The administrative staff in Saratoga Springs is upward of 70 now and will grow to more than 100 by the time the building takes occupancy, he said.
“One hundred percent of the operation will be at the new site, including acquisitions, management, executive, and leasing staff,” said Moser.
On April 30, Moser’s team met by video with the city Planning Board to present its mixed-use, $25 million project at 269 Broadway, on one-half acre of raw land purchased by Moser from the personal portfolio of Tom Roohan of Roohan Realty, he said.

How on earth do you market your business during uncertain times

I am frequently asked how businesses can market during Covid-19. Although every situation is unique, my advice is, don’t stop marketing, but change how you are doing your marketing.

Your customers have fears and uncertainties. Understanding those fears and how they relate to buying your product or service, will help you do a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) that can be used to inform your plan.

Here are 13 ideas to consider when marketing your business now:
