Trademark Beauty

Trademark Beauty, the acclaimed line of affordable, award-winning, and user-friendly hair tools, celebrates its fourth anniversary by expanding into 186 CVS BeautyIRL stores nationwide and online at CVS.com. Founded in 2019 by sibling duo Celebrity Hair Stylist Joseph Maine, known for working with A-list clients like Kate McKinnon and Ashley Benson, and Sabrina Maine, the brand achieved remarkable success, generating over $1M in revenue within the first 18 months, all while being self-funded. Their childhood fascination with hair tools and products, which ignited during moments of bonding while getting ready for church and school, inspired the inception of Trademark Beauty. The brand's best-selling products include the Babe Waves, a triple barrel curling iron for effortless beach waves, which sold out six times since its launch; the Easy Blo, a blow dryer brush combo featuring Ionic Technology for reduced damage and drying time, and their latest release, the Sunny Styler, a 2-in-1 iron for both curls and straightening with air vents that instantly cool and set hair, minimizing damage. CVS BeautyIRL stores and CVS.com offer seven products from the brand, including all three best sellers, along with Velcro rollers, a wet/dry hairbrush, a flat iron and a lightweight blow-dryer. Sporting their signature bubblegum pink color, the tools and accessories are priced between $14-$90. Co-Founder Joseph Maine expresses delight in partnering with the mass market retailer, stating, "It was always our goal to make luxury hair tools more accessible, and CVS stores make it easy and convenient to purchase beauty products - it's the perfect fit for us." Trademark Beauty takes pride in its commitment to affordability, ensuring customers can access top-quality, innovative hair tools without compromising on style. ABOUT TRADEMARK BEAUTY Joseph and Sabrina Maine launched Trademark Beauty with the mission to make premium beauty products more accessible. After over a decade in the industry, the sibling duo has established a brand and community focused on proving that beauty is undefinable. Like art, beauty is subjective. Beauty has no rules.

Minuteman Press Franchise Owners Jim and Seamus Mooney Celebrate 5 Years and Relocation to Clark, NJ with Grand Opening Event

Minuteman Press International Inc

Jim and Seamus Mooney have a lot to celebrate lately. The father-son team behind the Minuteman Press franchise in Clark, NJ (formerly Westfield) held their Grand Opening Palooza Event on June 22, 2023 as they celebrated their relocation to Clark as well as 5 years in business. Minuteman Press in Clark is located at 1120 Raritan Road, Suite 2, Clark NJ 07066. The grand opening event for Minuteman Press in Clark, NJ was sponsored by the Irish Business Association and featured live music, food trucks, vendors, and more. The Irish Business Association also recently honored Minuteman Press in Clark by awarding Jim and Seamus their Company of the Year Award. In addition, Jim and Seamus continue to hit new monthly sales milestones for their business. On the relocation, Jim shares, “We opened our doors on June 1, 2018. We have been in business for 5 years and we were looking for a larger production facility. Today, Minuteman Press Clark is a full-service printing, mail-house, and marketing design firm. We specialize in apparel (screen printing and embroidery), signage, paper based products (booklets, brochures, letterhead, envelopes, etc.) promotional products, mailings and graphic design.” Over the past 5 years, Jim has helped grow the family business through networking with a heavy focus on community involvement. He is President and an active member of Greater Westfield Area Chamber of Commerce, which includes multiple towns in Union County. Jim also appreciates being able to put his own stamp on Clark, Westfield and the surrounding community through his business. On that note, Jim says, “We have a lot of pride when we see our work displayed or distributed in the community – storefronts, window signage, direct mail, brochures, business cards – it’s always great to get kudos from happy clients.” Jim’s professional background includes managing strategic marketing for multi-unit franchise brands across various industries, most notably, McDonald’s Corporation working on the Company and Ad Agency side of the QSR industry. Jim says, “As the majority of my career was spent in franchise marketing, I am a true believer in franchising. Because I worked in advertising agencies where we had production and graphic design capabilities; I was very comfortable buying this business.” Jim continues, “I look at Minuteman Press as an ad agency for other businesses in Clark and Westfield and the surrounding towns. My career skills match up really well with what we are doing, and I am proud of our capabilities as well as the infrastructure we have in place being part of the Minuteman Press franchise family.” Speaking of family, while Jim concentrates on marketing the business, his son Seamus handles the operations. Prior to Minuteman Press, Seamus worked in recruiting and education operations management. Jim says, “Seamus is fantastic as our Vice President of Operations and I couldn’t do this without him. We’re a good team because we complement each other’s skills.” What’s it like going to work every day as a father and son? “It's an opportunity most people don't get to have,” Seamus Mooney said. “It's been great getting to work together for over five years — I've learned a lot during this time about business and life. Having a family business is rewarding." “It is fantastic to work with my son Seamus and to see him grow strategically and operationally as our vice president of operations,” Jim Mooney added. “Seamus is also a great thought partner in the business. It is a unique and fun experience.” Minuteman Press in Clark, NJ is located at at 1120 Raritan Road, Suite 2, Clark NJ 07066.
