Survey Reveals the Most Handsome Cities in the U.S.

Ever wondered where the most handsome men in America live? GroomingLounge.com, the nation’s premier resource for men’s grooming, sought out to find just that, and they are thrilled to share the results of their research. Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) July 13, 2015

GroomingLounge.com, the nation’s premier resource for men’s grooming, which recently announced franchise opportunities for their luxury barbershop/men’s spa model, set out to determine which U.S. city was home to the country’s most handsome men.

“We are in the business of making men more handsome and as we expand and look for franchise partners, it’s important for us to know which cities will be most receptive to our mission,” said Grooming Lounge Founder and CEO Mike Gilman.

GroomingLounge.com just released the results from their research and here are the major markets in order of most handsome men:

Seattle, WA
San Francisco, CA
Washington, D.C.
Boston, MA
Denver, CO
New York, NY
Austin, TX
Nashville, TN
Atlanta, GA
Minneapolis, MN
San Diego, CA
Chicago, IL
Boulder, CO
Portland, OR
Philadelphia, PA
Los Angeles, CA
Cincinnati, OH
Tucson, AZ
Houston, TX
Phoenix, AZ
Dallas, TX
Las Vegas, NV
Baltimore, MD
Cleveland, OH
Miami, FL

GroomingLounge.com based the findings on the following criteria: amount spent on personal care services per man, spend on personal care products per man, spend on shaving needs per man, spend on apparel per man (Data from SimplyMap) and the fittest cities in the nation (Data from 2015 American Fitness Index Report).

While handsomeness may be subjective, the criteria in this survey measure the men in each city’s commitment to appearance.

Grooming Lounge found that men in Seattle spent the most, approximately $3,413 on personal care items annually, while men in Cleveland spent about $2,366. Seattle men also spent the most on shaving needs, and the second most on personal care services and apparel. Seattle’s win surprised the researchers until a vast network of men’s barbershop/spas was found, likely helping keep the men in Seattle engaged with their grooming routines.

Coming in third, despite the misnomer “Hollywood for Ugly People,” Washington, D.C. is home to Grooming Lounge’s headquarters and its first two barbershop/spa locations, as well it was named the nation’s fittest city, and the men spent more than all other cities on personal care services and came in 3rd on spend in men’s apparel.

In comparison to how much San Franciscan guys spent on apparel, $3,731, guys in Miami only spent an average of $2,379.

Ground-breaking ceremony on July 10th marks the official start of construction on the $10 million aviation facility.

TEMPE, Ariz. (PRWEB) July 10, 2015

Adolfson & Peterson Construction (A&P) joined Lux Air Jet Centers and Larson Associates Architects today in celebrating the ground-breaking of the new fixed base operator facility (FBO) at the Phoenix Goodyear airport. The facility is expected to be a major contributor to the growth of the airport and aviation industry in the Valley.

With airplanes landing and taking off in the background, the ground-breaking ceremony at the Phoenix Goodyear airport kicked-off with Airport Manager Joe Husband detailing the project and the positive impact it will have on the airport and the local aviation industry.

“We’re open for business,” declared Husband as he detailed how the expansion will serve the airport during major sporting events in the West Valley.

Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord and City of Phoenix aviation officials joined Washington Federal (financer of the project), Lux Air Managing Partner Tim Berger, and A&P’s Regional Vice President Jeff Keck in speaking at the event. The event concluded with a dirt turning ceremony to officially mark the start of construction.

With an expected completion date of April 2016, the $10 million project includes the new FBO, three corporate hangars and additional office space totaling 67,290 square feet.

The general aviation hub for the expanding Phoenix West Valley, Lux Air Goodyear will be located just minutes from the Phoenix International Raceway, several Cactus League Spring Training facilities, and other sports venues in the West Valley.

Slurpee® In the House … and On the House

AB&R (American Barcode and RFID) announced today they have earned a top spot on the list of 2015 Careerbuilder® Top Companies to Work for in Arizona.

DALLAS (July 8, 2015) – Free Slurpee® Day is only the beginning. As it has for the past 13 years, 7‑Eleven® will celebrate its birthday by giving away millions of FREE small Slurpee drinks on 7‑Eleven Day, or July 11. To celebrate 7‑Eleven’s 88th birthday, participating stores will serve the free frozen drinks from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. local standard time, Saturday, July 11 (7/11), while supplies last. But the party doesn’t stop there. The world’s largest convenience retailer is extending the celebration, from July 12 to 18, with 7Rewards® Week. During 7Rewards week, 7Rewards members will receive a free 7-Select® food or drink valued under $2 with any 7‑Eleven cup purchase (Slurpee, Big Gulp®, Coffee and Iced Coffee Chillers). To receive the free 7Rewards Week offers, customers must have 7‑Eleven’s free mobile app (available via the App Store or Google Play). The FREE 7-Select offers will automatically appear as a coupon in the “Scan and Save” section of the app. The free 7-Select products are available at participating stores, while supplies last and must be under $2. 7-Select is 7‑Eleven’s line of private brand products that include snacks, bottled water, desserts and more. 7‑Eleven has embarked on a store-wide effort to ensure the best quality and taste for its 7-Select line of products. 7‑Eleven is carefully selecting premium ingredients for its 7-Select line, and the more decadent or exotic, the better. Consumers are looking for, and expecting, better quality food and new taste experiences. With 7-Select products, 7‑Eleven aims to give them what they want. During the 7Rewards promotion, customers can select their choice of free 7-Select products under $2, such as 7-Select-branded gummi candies, salty snacks, bakery items, cookies, ice cream and cold beverages. “7‑Eleven Day is a celebration, not only of our birthday, but more importantly, of our customers,” said Laura Gordon, 7‑Eleven vice president of marketing and brand innovation. “By adding 7Rewards Week, we have a whole week to say thank-you for their business throughout the year.” 7‑Eleven Day offers Slurpee-loving customers a chance to try new or featured flavors for free, like this summer’s new SOUR PATCH® Watermelon flavored Slurpee® drink. Introduced July 1, SOUR PATCH Watermelon is the first Slurpee flavor based on the popular sour and sweet SOUR PATCH KIDS® (SPK®) Soft & Chewy Candy and available exclusively all summer at participating stores. Followers, Likers and Tweeters watch the Slurpee birthday party unfold on social media every year when 7‑Eleven sees its traffic increase by double digits on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. To add to the fun, a special “SOUR PATCH KIDS Slurpee Selfie Challenge” fan contest launched July 7 and runs through the end of August. The campaign, co-promoted by 7‑Eleven and SOUR PATCH KIDS, asks fans to show how they eat their SOUR PATCH KIDS candy or drink their Slurpee drink for a chance to win exclusive prizes. 7‑Eleven also adds photo-sharing service Snapchat, specifically Snapchat’s geo-filter feature, to the social media mix this year. Throughout the campaign, when a 7‑Eleven customer visits a store, they will have the option to apply a fun, branded 7‑Eleven filter overlay onto their photo or video Snap before sending to family and friends. In celebration of 7‑Eleven Day, Slurpee lovers can be among the first to watch the new “Weekend Warriors” music video from the upcoming digital movie musical SUMMER FOREVER, starring singer/songwriter Megan Nicole (600 million+ YouTube views; 3M YouTube subscribers); Alyson Stoner, originally of Missy Elliott music video fame, Cheaper by the Dozen, and the Step Up film series; and Anna Grace Barlow (Young & Hungry, Faking It, Scream Queens). The music video will premier exclusively on Slurpee.com/SPK on July 10 for 24 hours before it is available anywhere else. SUMMER FOREVER follows three lifelong best friends who vow to make their last weekend of summer the most epic of their lives with a “YOLO” pact to chase dreams, sing loud and face fears all before beginning “adult life”.

Every year, July 11 marks the day that the world’s No. 1 convenience retailer observes its birthday and other company milestones. The iconic Slurpee drink turns 49 this year. 7‑Eleven introduced the frozen carbonated beverage in 1966, and it was an immediate hit. Wacky flavor names and quirky radio spots created a drink craze among teens and young adults, the same demographic group that today makes up the drinks’ biggest fans. Slurpee drinks enjoy worldwide popularity, with more than 7 billion Slurpee drinks slurped during its colorful history, almost enough for everyone on earth to enjoy one. 7‑Eleven, the first convenience store, began its run in 1927 when a Southland Ice Company employee began selling bread, milk and eggs on an ice dock in a Dallas suburb. Since that inauspicious start, “convenience” has become a big business. The small ice company has grown into a major international retailing chain with over 10,000 7‑Eleven stores in North America and more than 56,000 stores worldwide. “Since 2002, we’ve been celebrating 7‑Eleven’s birthday with free Slurpee drinks on July 11,” Gordon said. “And every year, the party gets bigger. Last year, our Slurpee party was 8 million strong. We expect it could be even bigger this year. Even without the millions of free birthday Slurpee drinks given away, July is the biggest month of the year in terms of Slurpee sales. What better drink for the hottest month of the year.” SOUR PATCH, SOUR PATCH KIDS and SPK are registered trademarks of Mondelēz International group, used under license.

STATEMENT BY SENATOR JOHN McCAIN ON VIETNAM GENERAL SECRETARY NGUYEN PHU TRONG’S VISIT TO THE UNITED STATES

Jul 07 2015 Washington, D.C. ­– U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) released the following statement today on Vietnam General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong’s visit to the United States: “I warmly welcome Vietnam’s General Secretary, Nguyen Phu Trong, on his historic trip to the United States—the first ever by a Vietnamese General Secretary. This visit demonstrates the growing strength of the U.S.-Vietnam partnership as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the normalization of relations between our countries. “Vietnam is an important emerging partner with which the United States shares strategic and economic interests, including strengthening an open regional trading order, maintaining a favorable balance of power in the Asia-Pacific region, and upholding long-standing principles of world order, such as freedom of the seas and peaceful resolution of international disputes. “Even for those of us who worked to normalize our relationship twenty years ago, the progress that our nations have made together has been astounding. Since 1995, annual U.S.-Vietnam trade has increased from less than $500 million to $36 billion last year. Building on this success, the recent passage by the Congress of trade promotion authority for the Trans-Pacific Partnership sends a powerful strategic signal about America’s enduring commitment to the region and our partners there. “The United States and Vietnam are better positioned than ever to build on this progress. Vietnam now sends more students to the United States to study each year than any other country in Southeast Asia. I saw the poise and skill of Vietnam’s emerging generation on full display this past May when I visited the Ho Chi Minh City University of Social Sciences and Humanities. Additionally, America’s support for Vietnam’s quest to train a new generations of leaders will reach new heights as we establish a Fulbright University Vietnam (FUV) in Ho Chi Minh City. This independent university will serve as a catalyst for enhancing higher education in Vietnam and encouraging people-to-people engagement between our two countries. As part of that engagement, the United States must continue to support civil society in Vietnam, including advocates for religious freedom, press freedom, and labor rights. The Government of Vietnam has recently taken modest but encouraging steps to improve its human rights record, and the United States must continue our support for all Vietnamese citizens who seek to use peaceful means to build a strong and prosperous country that respects human rights and the rule of law. “The United States and Vietnam also share a deep commitment to the peace and security of the Asia-Pacific region. This is especially critical as China continues the reclamation and militarization of land features in the South China Sea and again deploys the Haiyan Shiyou 981 (HD-981) oil rig in waters near Vietnam. To support Vietnam and other states in Southeast Asia that are committed to the peaceful resolution of maritime disputes, the Congress is now working to authorize $425 million for the Department of Defense to help train and equip the armed forces of Southeast Asian countries to build their maritime capacity. “Additionally, I believe the United States must further ease the prohibition on the sale of lethal military equipment to Vietnam at this time, including all platforms that facilitate the Vietnamese armed forces’ ability to operate more effectively on, above, and within its territorial waters. Further steps to ease, and ultimately lift, the prohibition would require the Government of Vietnam to take significant and sustained steps to protect human rights, including releases of prisoners of conscience and legal reforms. That should be our goal, and we should work together to achieve it as soon as possible for the benefit of both of our nations. “The past twenty years have witnessed a remarkable advancement in our relationship greater than anyone could have hoped for. I look forward to meeting General Secretary Trong this week as our two countries seek to continue to build a relationship built on a shared vision for a peaceful and prosperous Asia-Pacific region.” ###
