The largest showroom for whirlpool baths in Spain opens in Teulada Poligono

TEULADA, Spain, 2018-Feb-07 — /EPR Retail News/ — With a wide range of different models from renowned manufacturers, Whirlpools World Spain gives visitors a comprehensive overview. Conveniently situated at the N 332 (exit Teulada), their new showroom in Teulada Poligono will celebrate its grand reopening on Saturday, 10th February. With a total exhibition area of approximately 3000 square meters, it is the largest showroom for whirlpool baths in the whole country and almost twice as big as the former location of Whirlpools World Spain just a few kilometers away in Moraira.

„Moving from the coastal road to the national road we can offer our customers an even bigger selection and demonstrate, what the different whirlpool bath models can do for them. This includes the possibility to thoroughly test and try out the whirlpool bath of your dreams“, the wellness experts from Whirlpool World Spain point out. As everybody has a different idea of what wellbeing actually is about, the customers‘ demands are as diverse as the different whirlpool bath models. Besides the classic hydrojet massage, for example, additional features like illuminated water fountains, light- or aromatherapy can have positive effects on body and mind.

To ensure that the new whirlpool bath owners can concentrate on pampering themselves and have nothing else to worry about, the experts from Whirlpools World Spain also take care of installation, shipment, connection and maintenance. Customer care includes servicing devices and components from third-party manufacturers as well.

MinuteClinic announces no cost “Know Your Numbers” heart health screenings this February

Four days of screenings offered at no cost to support women’s heart health and the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women® movement

Woonsocket, RI, 2018-Feb-07 — /EPR Retail News/ — MinuteClinic, the retail medical clinic of CVS Health (NYSE:CVS), is offering no cost “Know Your Numbers” heart health screenings at its more than 1,100 locations nationwide every Wednesday in February.

Customers can visit MinuteClinic, a convenient and affordable community resource for health and wellness, on February 7, 14, 21, and 28 and receive a heart health preventive screening at no cost to them. During the screenings, patients will learn the five key personal health numbers that can help them determine their risk for heart disease – total cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and body mass index.

According to a recent national poll, commissioned by CVS Health, women in the U.S. are increasingly aware of the dangers of heart disease and recognize it as the #1 killer of women, however few acknowledge their personal risk factors that contribute to heart disease.

“The more a woman knows about cardiovascular disease, the more likely she is to be able to beat it. In fact, we know that 80 percent of cardiac and stroke events are preventable through education and action. That’s why MinuteClinic is pleased to be able to offer these heart health screenings,” said Angela Patterson, DNP, FNP-BC, NEA-BC, and Chief Nurse Practitioner Officer at MinuteClinic. “During the screenings, patients will receive important information about their health and will be counseled on ways to reduce their risk for heart disease and stroke. Awareness is key when it comes to maintaining good heart health.”

The no cost heart health screenings are in recognition of CVS Health’s support of the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women® movement, a national campaign to raise awareness of heart disease and stroke in women and to empower women to take control of their health.

As part of its support for Go Red For Women, CVS Health has pledged to raise a minimum of $10 million through 2019 to support life-saving cardiovascular research and education. Bayer® Aspirin is the proud sponsor of the heart health screenings at MinuteClinic.

“These screenings are especially important this year following the recent launch of new blood pressure guidelines from the American Heart Association to improve blood pressure control and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease,” added Patterson. “Many patients who may not have needed intervention before may now be instructed to adopt lifestyle changes or even prescribed medication.”

MinuteClinic locations offer comprehensive health screenings year-round at times and locations that work for patients. Clinics are open seven days a week, including evenings, with no appointment needed. Patients can view wait times at all MinuteClinic locations and hold a place in line by visiting www.minuteclinic.com or through the CVS Pharmacy app. For a list of MinuteClinic locations, visit http://www.cvs.com/minuteclinic/clinic-locator.

Asda sets out plans on how it will reduce its use of plastic

Asda sets out plans on how it will reduce its use of plastic

 

Leeds, UK, 2018-Feb-07 — /EPR Retail News/ — Today (February 5, 2018), Asda has become the first of the “big four” supermarkets to set out detailed plans about how it will reduce its use of plastic.

The supermarket, which accounts for 15.3% of the supermarket industry in the UK has also said it wants to create a more collaborative, open environment within the retail industry to help drive innovation and “unwrap” the plastics problem.

In a document published on its website today, “Plastic Unwrapped – our pledge to use less and recycle more”, Asda has promised its customers that it will reduce the amount of plastic in its packaging by 10% this year, as well as work with its suppliers and other experts to investigate new options to replace plastic packaging and find more recyclable solutions.

What has Asda committed to doing?

  • Removing 10% of plastic from its Own Brand packaging in the next 12 months and publishing regular updates for customers to follow its progress
  • Introducing a zero profit re-usable coffee cup to give customers a great value alternative to single use cups.
  • Remove all single use cups and plastic cutlery from its offices in 2018 and all its stores and cafes by the end of 2019.
  • Phase out 5p ‘single use’ carrier bags from its shops by the end of 2018 and introduce a donation to good causes from the sale of its “bags for life” so that charities don’t lose out.
  • Work in partnership with the UK’s leading experts in packaging technology at the Leeds Beckett University Retail Institute as well as one of Asda’s biggest UK suppliers, ABP, on priority projects to develop new alternatives to plastics and more recyclable materials.
  • Creating the Asda Plastic Ideas Hub, open to all from industry to individuals, offering a £10,000 award for every scaleable, workable idea that helps Asda to tackle its top plastic challenges – such as alternatives to plastic film.

Asda’s President and Chief Executive, Roger Burnley, outlined his commitment to reducing plastic in a blog published alongside the “Plastic Unwrapped” report.

In it he says; “I truly believe that when you serve 18 million people each week and have the ability to make a difference to them, you should do it.

“I want Asda’s customers to know that they can trust us to take the lead on the issues that really matter to them. So we have challenged ourselves to look at what more we can do to reduce the amount of plastic in our business, and within our industry as a whole.”

The Greater Trade-In event urges caregivers to bring in their old, used, outgrown and potentially dangerous gear and furniture items in exchange for a 25% discount on one new gear or furniture item*. New this year, shoppers looking to donate old, outgrown or gently used clothing can bring in one or more clothing items for a 25% discount on their entire purchase of clothing in store, valid through Sunday, March 18*.

Amazon and Whole Foods Market celebrate Valentine’s Day wit a special discount on Whole Trade roses

 

All customers to receive lower prices; Prime members to receive an even deeper discount

AUSTIN, Texas, 2018-Feb-07 — /EPR Retail News/ — Amazon and Whole Foods Market will celebrate Valentine’s Day with customers by offering a special discount on Whole Trade roses from Feb. 7 to 14. Customers nationwide will be able to purchase two dozen roses at the reduced price of $24.99. Prime members will save even more on two dozen roses for just $19.99, while supplies last. Whole Foods Market Team Members will also be available in all stores across the U.S. to wrap bouquets and arrange flowers while shoppers pick up other gifts for their sweetheart.

“We are excited to make this Valentine’s Day extra special for customers by lowering prices on our beautiful Whole Trade roses,” said A.C. Gallo, president and chief operating officer at Whole Foods Market. “As we continue to integrate with Amazon, we plan to share additional savings, values, and promotional events with our shoppers and Prime members while continuing to support responsible ecosystems and communities worldwide.”

Each purchase of Whole Trade roses gives back to communities where the flowers were sourced. Whole Foods Market created the Whole Trade Guarantee in 2007 to highlight our commitment to ethical trade, working conditions, and the environment, while also meeting our standards for high quality products. From building schools and funding scholarships, to providing childcare, or simply ensuring fair wages, every purchase of a Whole Trade product funds community projects.

“We know our members are looking to express their love and we are thrilled by all the times Prime marriage proposals have been shared with us on social media,” said Cem Sibay, Vice President, Amazon Prime. “We hope that nothing says Prime and Commitment quite like beautiful roses from Whole Foods Market. This is the second special promotion we have done for Prime members and we are planning to do more in the future.”

While browsing the floral section, customers can also pick up delicious ingredients to create a date night at home. Start by creating a cheese and charcuterie board featuring Hervé Mons Ovalie Cendrée, exclusively available at Whole Foods Market, as a first course. Next, create an impressive at-home surf-and-turf entrée, featuring fresh and sustainably sourced seafood and Animal Welfare Rated New York Strip Steaks. Pair it all with De Chanceny Crémant de Loire Brut or Brut Rose, selected by Whole Foods’ Master Sommelier, Devon Broglie and finish off the romantic meal with fair trade chocolates or Whole Foods Market’s chocolate, heart-shaped Sweetheart Cake.
