Global Home Improvement: A company you can count on

April 24, 2012 By
Global Home Improvement

 

by June Portnoy

With so many fly-by-night home contractors, you want to deal with a reputable company that you can count on long after you have a large project, such as a roof installation, completed. Fortunately, you can feel confident that Global Home Improvement of Feasterville will be in business well into the future.

This family owned and operated business was established in 2001 but its two owners have been business partners and installation contractors since first teaming up in 1994. Global Home Improvement is unique in that they have been built from the ground up, with an emphasis on superior quality and hands-on contractor experience.

In addition, Global Home Improvement doesn’t just install one or two types of products; instead it specializes in roofing, siding, replacement windows and gutters. While few roofing companies also specialize in siding, this company has two full-time siding crews that do siding exclusively.

In fact, it has specialized crews for roofing, siding, windows and gutters. If you need a new roof, Global offers both shingle and metal roofing. 

“We are the only company in the tri-state area that installs residential metal roofs on the large scale that we do,” says Adam Parnes, Global Home Improvement Marketing Manager. “We install 100-plus metal roofs on homes each year.”

Metal roofs offer durability, low maintenance, energy savings, increased curb appeal and longevity. Replace your roof once with a metal roof, and you’ll never need to replace it again!

Homemade Fantasy Pretzels: Feed your imagination

March 28, 2012 By

Fantasy Pretzels by June Portnoy

Karen Lynd, of Ivyland, thought she would never work again. After starting treatment for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2010, she could no longer maintain a job as her symptoms became unpredictable.

When she received a therapeutic massage recently, her masseuse mentioned a simple recipe for chocolate covered pretzels using traditional hard pretzels that piqued Karen’s interest. She made these pretzels for her family and friends, who came back with rave reviews.

“Suddenly, I got a vision that I could create my own gourmet recipes for chocolate covered pretzels and start my own home-based business,” says Karen. “It was like a light bulb went on in my head, realizing I could apply my degree and background in advertising and marketing to every aspect of this business.”

Plus, by working from home, Karen knew she’d have the opportunity to rest when necessary. And so this past January, Karen established Fantasy Pretzels.

Its motto, “Feed Your Imagination,” is meant to conjure up images of desirable, delectable, dreamy, delicious chocolate covered pretzels. It also offers a double meaning because this business is a fantasy/dream come true for Karen.

Karen wanted to give back to the community that is now giving her a second chance for a vocation, so 10% of profits from Fantasy Pretzels will go toward funding MS research.

Karen created 13 different Fantasy Pretzels to appeal to everyone’s individual taste.

“I generously coat these homemade pretzels with chunky delicious toppings, so they taste extraordinary,” says Karen.

Her first pretzel, the Everything Pretzel, is a milk or dark chocolate pretzel, topped with Nestle’s™ semi-sweet and white chocolate morsels, Reese’s™ peanut butter chips and Heath Bar™ toffee bits.

The Choc-ALOT pretzel is a milk chocolate covered pretzel coated with Nestle’s™ chocolate chunks, a layer of rich dark chocolate topped with chocolate jimmies.

The Protein Pretzel is a dark chocolate pretzel topped with fresh pistachio nuts and almond bits. And the list goes on and on.

Add the OMG! Topping, a thick, creamy layer of milk or dark chocolate, to any pretzel you select.

Pretzels can be purchased individually, packaged in gourmet boxes or in assorted trays and baskets. They offer a great alternative to traditional desserts or candy. They will soon be found in local retail shops.

Fantasy Pretzels caters special events, parties, corporate functions and even weddings. Customized pretzels are available for any occasion.

If you want to book a large catering job, Karen will arrange a face-to-face consultation with you where she’ll bring you complimentary Fantasy Pretzels to sample. Fantasy Pretzels are ideal for your gift giving needs, both personally and professionally.

Karen is currently featuring a holiday special: pretty pastel Easter baskets and trays. An assorted arrangement of pink, blue, purple, and green white-chocolate flavored pretzels are generously coated with crunchy, nutty, toffee, chocolaty, minty, cookie, candy and colorful toppings (see ad in this paper). Karen beautifully wraps her gourmet pretzels in cellophane with color coordinated handcrafted ribbons and bows.

Call 267-446-5110 to place your orders, fax Karen directly at 215-396-9153, or e-mail her at karenlynd@comcast.net. She gladly accepts Visa and Mastercard.

Having begun a new chapter in her life, Karen’s advice to people experiencing hardship is, “Don’t ever give up. Even with your debilitation, keep your body and/or mind active. Find a purpose. Live your life; not your illness.”

Karen’s hope is that Fantasy Pretzels will become a lifelong business. Says Karen optimistically, “I’m giving it my heart and soul.”

First and only Gold Exchange opens in Northampton

March 28, 2012 By
Richboro Gold Exchange

 

by June Portnoy

Would you like to make some extra money during these tough economic times?  If so, look no farther than the Richboro Gold Exchange, located at 975 Second Street Pike in Richboro (directly across from the McDonald’s).

Whether you have gold, silver, platinum, or large diamonds, Richboro Gold Exchange offers top market prices. Practically nobody will beat these prices!

“We encourage you to bring in your jewelry, coins, silverware and even teapots to receive a free assessment of what they’re worth with no pressure to sell,” says co-owner, Matt Hinkle. 

You’ll receive a detailed description of your items based on their weight and purity. You will also be given their fair market value based on the current metal prices. 

“All testing and measurements will be done right in front of you as we explain the process and how the assessment works,” says Matt.

You’ll be amazed at how much money you’ll be offered for jewelry you no longer wear. For example, Richboro Gold Exchange is purchasing an average men’s class ring for $250! Unlike corporate-run gold exchanges that are usually most concerned with the bottom line, Richboro Gold Exchange’s top priority is its customer’s satisfaction.

“We offer no gimmicks or coupons,” adds Matt. “Just the best prices every time.”

This is a family owned and operated business that strives to make its customers feel comfortable. Matt, along with his cousins and co-owners, Kyle Goodman, Greg Glemser, and uncle Saul Goodman all work here and also at their Doylestown Gold Exchange location.

Greg has been a jeweler for 15 years and is a graduate gemologist. Matt grew up in Holland, and the rest of his family is from Bucks County, so they don’t just work in your community, they are part of your community.

Unlike many gold exchanges that provide a cold, undesirable environment, the Richboro Gold Exchange strives to create a warm, family-friendly setting.

“Our customers tell us coming to our store is a refreshing experience compared to what they’re used to when exchanging their precious metals,” says Matt. “We offer coffee, tea and snacks for the kids. Our store is located on the side of an old Victorian House and is inside what was once a living room/dining room area, giving it a cozy feel.”

If you can’t or don’t want to bring your jewelry here, the friendly staff at the Richboro Gold Exchange makes house calls! They’ll come to your home fully prepared to test, weigh and purchase your gold and silver if you choose to sell it.

The Richboro Gold Exchange will also help you host your own Gold Party. They will give you $10 for every person you invite to help you purchase food and beverages. During your party, the staff will show up prepared to evaluate and purchase your guests’ precious metals. All accepted offers will be paid in cash, and the host will receive a 10% commission on every item purchased.

With the price of gold nearing all-time highs, that commission can add up fast!

The Richboro Gold Exchange also offers a unique Cash For Gold Fundraiser. It’s run the same way as the Gold Parties, except an organization, not an individual, receives the 10% commission. This is a great way to raise money for groups like Scouts, athletic teams, churches, and illness drives.

Selling your precious metals at the Richboro Gold Exchange is a golden opportunity for you to supplement your income or earn some money if you’re unemployed.

For more information about the Richboro Gold Exchange, call 215-942-6180 or visit www.RichboroGoldenExchange.com.

The Richboro Swim Club: An Area Summer Tradition

March 28, 2012 By

Richboro Swim Club by June Portnoy

The Richboro Swim Club (RSC) offers a full summer of fun right in your neighborhood at a reasonable price. This swim club has a family atmosphere and long-term tradition. It’s been a neighborhood mainstay for over 50 years.  

“People like the tradition here,” says Tom Yaegel, RSC president. “We have a lot of third generation families.”

Although people come back year after year, new members feel just as comfortable as members who have been joining for years. The majority of members come from the local area so it offers a nice neighborhood atmosphere.

Even though RSC is an established facility, it offers modern amenities like its many water play features. RSC is unique, offering four different pools, each for specific needs.  Its tot pool for ages two and under has bubble springs and a small waterfall, in addition to a playhouse next to the pool.

Its second pool is a spray pool with a big umbrella waterfall and an eight-foot mushroom water device that sprays water in all directions. This pool is great for people of all ages.

The third pool is a heated recreation pool.  At one end of the pool is its shallow end that starts at one foot and goes to two feet deep with a small frog waterslide – great for families with kids five and under. The other end goes up to four feet deep and has a six-foot high flume slide and water basketball for older kids.

The fourth pool is a five-foot deep competition pool with six lanes, plus a 12-feet-deep diving well. It offers a low and high diving board, and has one separate lane for lap swimming plus steps for easy entry.

RSC provides a swim school that offers group and private swim lessons that are headed by a Red Cross Certified WSI (water safety instructor). Swim lessons are offered all summer.

RSC is a spacious environment on 6½ acres of land with plenty of parking. With so much room, RSC is not only able to provide four pools, it also has a tot playground for kids three and under, a playground with swings and monkey bars for older kids, a tennis court, a volley ball court and a shuffle board court.

RSC also offers many special events. It holds children’s activity hours consisting of planned activities for kids. Every Friday night in July is Family Barbecue Night. Free movie nights under the stars, a Richboro tradition for 25 years, will continue to be held here this year. In addition, RSC will hold fun events like Beach Day, Family Fun Day, a July 4th Celebration and a Rock ‘N’ Roll Barbecue. 

Unlike other swim clubs, the Richboro Swim Club opens for Memorial Day weekend and then remains open every day from June 1st until Labor Day. This is a real advantage because it means you can start coming to the pool while school is still in progress. 

RSC invites the community to join for a summer of fun, friendship and relaxation. Its theme is safety, friendliness and cleanliness. Join today and take advantage of its discounted prices good until April 11th.

The Richboro Swim Club is located at 750 Second Street Pike. For more information, call 215-357-9567 or visit www.richboroswimclub.com.

The ‘new’ Twining Village prepares for the future

February 21, 2012 By
Twining Village

 

by June Portnoy

Twining Village, a non-profit continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Holland, has been part of Bucks County for generations. For over 30 years, residents have enjoyed residency at all levels of senior living; personal care, skilled nursing care and rehab, and independent living.

In order to meet the needs of today’s seniors and the new wave of Baby Boomers entering their golden years, Twining Village is getting a facelift throughout its 50-acre campus. It is currently redesigning its apartments to update and modernize its independent living offer – all 224 independent living apartments will ultimately have washers and dryers, open kitchen designs and all the amenities you’d find at your home: dishwashers, microwaves, garbage disposals, and bathroom fixtures.

Twining Village will soon also be opening 15 new cottages on campus.

“These cottages are being designed with the Baby Boomers in mind who we expect will want more independent living,” says Jerry Gallagher, Twining Village’s Manager of Marketing and Sales.

The Cottages at Twining will offer additional amenities than the renovated apartments and include larger living spaces with exterior entrances to outside patios.

“We believe our repositioning of Twining Village provides just what today’s senior’s desire, whether its apartments or cottages and the varied design options in both units,” says Jerry. “Baby Boomers see themselves as unique, and we’re striving to offer them unique living styles.”

A new rehab wing will also be ready this spring. This new facility will offer larger space, newer equipment and an exterior entrance that will open its doors to non-residents, as well as to residents.

In addition to all these new additions, there will be many interior renovations as well. Twining Village is redesigning and modernizing its dining room, as well as increasing the selection of meals it offers. Also, its enclosed hallways will be redesigned and climate controlled – a significant improvement since residents use these hallways to walk from one end of the campus to the other.

The Community Center is also being redesigned to give Twining Village a “downtown, get-together space,” says Jerry.

E&E Chimney Sweeps: Your trusted chimney and hearth professionals

November 1, 2011 By
E&E PROFILE

 

by June Portnoy

When you deal with E&E Chimney Sweeps in Fairless Hills, you can feel confident that you’re being serviced by a reputable company that staffs the most certified technicians in the area. It’s also the largest hearth shop in the Philadelphia vicinity and the only Fireside Hearth and Homes store in Bucks County.

This family owned and operated business, established in 1981 by Mike Evanick Sr. and his wife, Andrea, has worked hard to establish the positive reputation it has achieved throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania and Central New Jersey. One of the many reasons E&E has continued to succeed and thrive the past 30 years is its focus on safety. According to Mike, anyone in Pennsylvania can receive a license to become a chimney sweep and then set up shop the next day with little or no experience. 

“When you hire a chimney sweep who is not certified, you’re taking a risk of having your house burned down,” says Mike.  “Being certified is that important.”   

E&E Chimney Sweeps has been certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). This certification is earned by demonstrating an extensive working knowledge of chimney sweeping practices. In addition, all of its technicians must pass a 100-question test, administered by a CSIA approved proctor or given after attending a CSIA Certification Review.

AllTown PHARMACY: Treating customers the way they deserve to be treated

October 4, 2011 By
AllTown

 

by June Portnoy

Are you tired of feeling like just another number at those big chain pharmacies? Don’t you hate waiting in long crowded lines to fill your prescription only to find out it’s often not stocked on the shelves?

AllTown PHARMACY staff can empathize with your feelings, having worked at a chain pharmacy for many years. For this reason, they have chosen to work for AllTown PHARMACY, Feasterville’s only independent pharmacy that offers free delivery and personalized service. Here, they can cater to their customer’s needs in a quiet, friendly atmosphere that offers prompt, personalized service that goes way beyond what you’ll find at chain pharmacies.

At AllTown PHARMACY, when you need a prescription right away and it’s not in stock, the staff will go out of its way to get it for you by the next day at the latest, or even the same day, if possible.

“We decide when and where your order comes from,” says Anna Keylin, the Pharmacy Manager. “We’re not required by a corporate office to use a particular warehouse that might not ship your medication for a week.”

Also, if you need an expensive, injectable or hard-to-find medication, AllTown PHARMACY will get it for you without hesitation. Not all pharmacies are as accommodating because they require a lot of time and effort to obtain supplies. With AllTown PHARMACY, you’ll no longer have to spend the time and endure the frustration of dealing with your insurance company because the staff here will contact them for you.

“We’ll interact with your insurance company and your doctor to make sure you get the medicine your doctor wants you to have while ensuring it is covered by your insurance,” says Anna.

If you’re coming from another pharmacy, the staff at AllTown PHARMACY will gladly call that pharmacy and transfer your prescription. With enrollment month for many Medicare plans coming up in November, be sure to talk to the knowledgeable staff at AllTown PHARMACY, who are happy to work with you to customize your plan.

“We’ll review your coverage with you to help you save money to cover most or all of your medications, while also saving money on your monthly premiums and co-pays,” offers Anna.

AllTown PHARMACY offers free delivery all day, and will even deliver you prescriptions after hours if it’s an emergency and you can’t be home during the day. You’ll rarely have to wait for your prescription, and on the rare occasions when you do, it won’t be more than 10 minutes.

The staff here takes the time to get to know each of its customers.  “We treat our customers like our extended family,” says Anna.

Isn’t it time that a pharmacy put your needs first? For more information about AllTown PHARMACY, located at 1137 Bustleton Pike (directly across the street from the Buck Hotel), call 215-354-9440.

Monster Mini Golf: New to Bucks County and fun for the entire family

August 2, 2011 By

The Hunn family of Monster Mini Golf in Feasterville

by June Portnoy

Richboro’s Eric and Penny Hunn recently opened Monster Mini Golf, an indoor, glow-in-the dark, monster-themed miniature golf course.  This 18-hole course is always full of surprises, so each time you visit is like the first time.  Its cool animatronics causes monsters to randomly appear from different holes along the course, which is already filled with stationary “monsters.”  “Mad Scientists” offer interactive fun by running dance and trivia contests while you golf.  And don’t be surprised if they offer you a challenge like golfing one-footed with one eye closed.

They also make announcements at the in-house DJ booth where WIRD (Weird Radio) is played throughout the day and night.  Enjoy your favorite songs and scary music as you attempt to get a hole in one!  You and your friends will actually glow in the dark while you play, making you each appear scary and look different every time you visit depending on what you wear.  And when you’re done golfing, play at Monster Mini Golf’s video game arcade where you’ll win tickets for prizes.

“This is a fun environment that’s enjoyable for the entire family from toddlers to grandparents,” says Eric.

People would drive a distance to participate in such a unique golfing experience, but fortunately for you, Monster Mini Golf is located right in Feasterville.  Its indoor air-conditioned/heated environment makes it ideal for all extreme weather conditions, whether it’s 100 or 20 degrees outside.  Don’t let a rainy day spoil camp for the kids.  Instead bring your campers here where they’ll stay dry and entertained for hours.  With school just around the corner, consider Monster Mini Golf for your next mother/son, father/son event.

Step into one of its two private party rooms and you’ll be transformed into a haunted house, fully decorated with antique furniture and a skeleton fireplace.  In addition to camp and school field trips, these party rooms are perfect for birthday parties, fundraisers, corporate events and even weddings!  Monster Mini Golf has partnered with Lamberti’s Cucina next door to provide the food for your special occasion.  In addition to coordinating the food, it will provide you with two Mad Scientists per party to set up, serve, entertain and clean up.  One parent recently told Eric, “It almost seems too easy for me to hold a party here,” and that’s exactly what Monster Mini Golf is striving to achieve.

It’s not unusual for Eric and Penny to see people they know here, being they have been members of the Bucks County community for the past 20 years.  Their 13-year-old son attends Holland Middle School and their 11-year-old daughter attends Rolling Hills Elementary School.  In addition, Eric has coached Council Rock basketball and Northampton baseball for the past 10 years.  Eric and Penny got the idea of opening this franchise when they took their children to visit Eric’s friend in North Jersey who owned one there.

“As soon we walked through the place, it was a light bulb moment for us,” says Eric.  “It affected all of us from an entertainment and business perspective because there truly was nothing like it anywhere near our community.”

As a result of this visit, Eric and Penny opened Monster Mini Golf this past April, establishing it as the first franchise of its kind in the Philadelphia area.  For more information about Monster Mini Golf, located at 1045-7 Bustleton Pike in the Feasterville Plaza (near Office Max), call 215-396-6700.

263 Marketplace: Bucks County’s only indoor marketplace

June 22, 2011 By

by June Portnoy

Tired of going to mall after mall only to find the same types of stores selling similar merchandise every time? Going to an outdoor marketplace is always an option, but then you have to worry about whether it might rain or be too hot to shop.

Luckily, you can now go to 263 Marketplace, Bucks County’s new indoor marketplace open year round! You’ll find over 85 vendors selling a large diversity of merchandise all under one roof. “These vendors sell unique items that you won’t find at the mall,” says Marketing Coordinator, Jackie Waller. “You won’t see any counterfeit goods here and we allow few direct competitors because we encourage variety.”

As an added plus, prices are typically less than you’d pay at malls since vendors keep overhead low because they pay only for the size of the booth they need and are offered low start-up fees. There’s something for the entire family here with merchandise ranging from clothing, accessories, kitchenware and antiques to one-of-a-kind jewelry, sports memorabilia and even motorcycle apparel.

Services such as eyebrow threading, computer repair and sales and custom bath renovations are also available here. “This is a great place to shop for unusual gifts, look for less expensive merchandise or simply browse while enjoying a day out,” says Jackie. Come stroll the mall and stop for a snack or lunch. Many vendors offer a nice selection of food like fresh cinnamon buns, soft pretzels and funnel cake, in addition to delicious home-style pasta, pizza, and barbecue sandwiches. You can also enjoy a smoothie or a cup of coffee or tea as you shop.

Why spend the day sweating in the hot summer sun at the various outdoor markets when you can shop indoors at 263 Marketplace in a clean, cool, air-conditioned atmosphere (which is also heated in the winter)? Your shopping spree will never be ruined due to rain, and for your convenience, you’ll receive free parking directly outside on a paved parking lot right off the main street. All vendors are local, mostly from Bucks County. Come each week and you’ll usually see the same friendly faces at their booths. You can also look forward to seeing what new vendors have to offer.

In addition, many vendors hold special events, fun for the entire family. On Saturday, July 9th 263 Marketplace will hold a car and motorcycle show in its parking lot. Prizes will be awarded to winning cars and bikes. Don’t miss a Double Autograph Event on Saturday, July 30th with former Phillies pitcher Bob Walk, and former Eagles player Bill Bergey.

This new indoor marketplace is open Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00am until 8:00pm, and Sundays from 10:00am until 5:00pm. It’s located at 700 York Road in Warminster, near the intersection of York and Street Roads, directly across from Archbishop Wood High School. The majority of vendors offer 10% discounts to senior citizens on Fridays.

Being that 263 Marketplace is 40,000 square feet of selling space, about the size of a football field, it still has room to accommodate additional vendors. For more information about current vendors, merchandise updates, upcoming events or how to become a vendor, visit www.263marketplace.com. Also call 267-960-8800.

“There’s no other place like it in the area,” says Jackie.
