It is no longer simply a trade show. It is the global platform where commerce, content, education, innovation, creator culture, professional development and industry celebration converge.

First Franchisee in Brand History Recognized for Leadership, Business Performance, and Role in Shaping the System's Future

RICHARDSON, Texas, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Service Experts, one of the nation's leading residential HVAC service companies, announced today that Trey Thomas-Piazza, the company's first-ever franchisee, has been named a 2026 Franchisee of the Year by the International Franchise Association (IFA). The prestigious recognition comes as Thomas-Piazza continues to lead the Tulsa market while playing a broader role in helping shape the future of Service Experts' franchise system.

Thomas-Piazza's path to franchise ownership is closely tied to the evolution of Service Experts itself. After spending years with the company in leadership roles spanning maintenance, installation, and operations, Thomas-Piazza ultimately became General Manager of the Tulsa market. When Service Experts launched its franchise program in 2025 after more than three decades as a primarily corporate-owned business, he saw an opportunity to take a market he knew inside and out and invest in its future as a franchise owner.

As the company's first franchisee, Thomas-Piazza became the first to put the Service Experts franchise model into practice. His transition from corporate leader to franchise owner provided Service Experts with an early opportunity to test, refine, and strengthen its franchise infrastructure while maintaining continuity for employees, customers, and vendor partners.

"Trey helped show us what this model could look like in action," said Nick Ridgway, Vice President of Franchise Development for Service Experts. "He understood the business, the people, and the systems better than almost anyone, and he took a tremendous amount of personal and professional trust in making that transition. What he has done since then has helped set the standard for the franchisees who have followed."

The IFA's Franchisee of the Year awards recognize franchise owners who demonstrate excellence in business, contribute to their communities, create opportunities for others and support their fellow franchisees. Nominated by their franchise brands, recipients represent IFA member companies across industries and communities throughout the country. Thomas-Piazza will be recognized at the IFA26 Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C., Sept. 14-16.

"Franchisees of the Year demonstrate what franchising is all about – individuals who have committed their lives and careers to the betterment of those around them, building something bigger than themselves," said Matt Haller, President and CEO of the International Franchise Association. "Through their leadership, they create jobs and build careers, give back to their communities, and support other franchisees, all while exemplifying the entrepreneurial spirit at the heart of franchising. We are proud to recognize Trey with IFA's highest honor for individual franchisees and celebrate his commitment to making a difference both within his business and beyond."

Thomas-Piazza's recognition comes at an important point in Service Experts' franchise expansion. Within its first year of franchising, the company has expanded to five franchisees with 16 territories across the network, bringing its decades of operational experience, established brand infrastructure, and national resources to entrepreneurs looking to build businesses in the essential residential HVAC industry.

Service Experts continues to seek qualified entrepreneurs interested in building businesses within the residential HVAC industry with the support of an established national platform. To learn more about franchising opportunities with Service Experts, visit www.serviceexperts.com/franchising.

ABOUT SERVICE EXPERTS:

Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Richardson, Texas, Service Experts is one of the largest residential HVAC service providers in the United States.

Protein Pints Expands Protein Pops Into Target and Kroger After Sold-Out Summer Debut

High-Protein Ice Cream Bars Land at Two Major National Retailers After Selling Through Initial Online Inventory in One Day

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Following a breakout summer debut, Protein Pints, the fast-growing high-protein ice cream brand, is bringing Protein Pops to Target and all of Kroger's Family of Stores this month. The brand's high-protein ice cream bars are rolling out at Target this week, with Kroger following September 13.

Protein Pops debuted in June as Protein Pints' first major expansion beyond pints, bringing the brand's protein-forward approach to ice cream into a convenient, individually portioned format with 10g of protein per pop. The launch saw immediate consumer interest, with initial online inventory selling through in less than eight hours, exceeding online projections by more than 10X. The bars have since continued to build momentum at Sprouts Farmers Market stores throughout the summer.

"From the response we saw within the first few hours of launch, it was clear consumers were excited to get everything they love about Protein Pints in a convenient new format," said Paul Reiss, co-founder and CEO of Protein Pints. "Bringing Protein Pops to Target and all Kroger Divisions means significantly more people can now find them during their everyday grocery run, and it's an exciting next step as we continue offering people more frozen options to enjoy eating their protein".

Available in Caramel Crunch, Vanilla Crunch, Peanut Butter Crunch and Mint Crunch, Protein Pops feature creamy, high-protein ice cream dipped in a rich, crispy, quinoa-studded milk chocolate coating. Each bar delivers 10 grams of complete protein, 180–190 calories and at least 75% less sugar than traditional ice cream, with no artificial sweeteners. The bars are made with natural ingredients, are gluten-free and contain all nine essential amino acids.

The expanding footprint of Protein Pops marks a new chapter for this fast-growing line extension, increasing availability to more than 4,000 retail locations nationwide by mid-September. Designed for everyday enjoyment, from an afternoon snack to post-workout fuel or an evening treat, Protein Pops open the brand to new occasions while delivering the same balance of protein and indulgence that has fueled Protein Pints' rapid rise.

Protein Pops are now available nationwide at Target and Sprouts Farmers Market, with Kroger's Family of Stores availability beginning September 13.

For more information, visit ProteinPints.com or follow @ProteinPints on social media.

About Protein Pints:

Protein Pints is a rapidly growing brand of protein ice cream, founded by two childhood friends during their recent college years, on a mission to help people enjoy their protein in one of America's favorite treats. With a focus on natural ingredients and innovative recipes, Protein Pints is redefining what it means to enjoy functional ice cream, offering a guilt-free indulgence that tastes amazing and supports consumers' nutritional goals. Protein Pints products are packed with 30 grams of protein per pint, made with only natural ingredients, lower sugar, zero artificial sweeteners and gluten-free. In 2026, Protein Pints expanded beyond the pint with the launch of Protein Pops, bringing its signature approach to protein-packed indulgence into a convenient grab-and-go format with 10 grams of protein per bar.

Viral British Haircare Brand Hair Syrup Makes U.S. Retail Debut. Joins Target Beauty Studio, Bringing Hair and Scalp Care Solutions to Target Guests Nationwide

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hair Syrup, the independently owned British haircare brand behind a viral range of pre-wash oil treatments, is officially entering the U.S. market with a nationwide launch at Target.

Beginning September 10, Hair Syrup will be available in more than 600 Target stores across the U.S. and on Target.com, marking a major milestone for a brand that has grown from a university kitchen-table project into a multimillion business without outside investment.

Founded in 2020 by Lucie Macleod while she was a university student experimenting with natural oils to help repair her own bleach-damaged hair, Hair Syrup has built its growth largely through social media, community and word of mouth.

The brand gained further attention following Macleod's appearance on BBC's Dragons' Den in January 2025, when all six investors declined to invest. Rather than slowing the business down, the appearance became a viral moment of its own. Hair Syrup has since grown its community and has ranked among the top five haircare brands globally on TikTok over the past 12 months.

Hair Syrup's expansion into the U.S. follows significant organic demand from American consumers. The brand's website currently receives more than 19,000 visits per day from the U.S. alone, despite Hair Syrup previously having no dedicated brick-and-mortar retail presence in the market.

That existing consumer demand, driven largely by viral content, recommendations and social discovery, made the U.S. a natural next market for the brand.

Hair Syrup will launch through Target Beauty Studio, Target's curated assortment of prestige, emerging and global beauty brands.

The assortment will include a selection of Hair Syrup's bestselling pre-wash and leave-in hair oils, including Rapunzel, its scalp circulation-focused blend, and Growsmary, developed to support scalp health.

"Entering the U.S. has always been part of our long-term vision for Hair Syrup, so to reach this point independently and without outside investors makes it incredibly special. We've seen amazing demand from American customers for years through our website and social community, and this feels like a very natural next step for the brand.

"The U.S. customer already knows Hair Syrup and has been asking for greater access to our products. Target has been such an incredible partner in launching the brand, and we are so excited to have them retailing the range through Target Beauty Studio Nationwide. Now our focus is making it easier for all customers to discover and shop the brand in a way that feels accessible, exciting and true to the community we've built." Lucie Macleod, Founder and CEO, Hair Syrup

The Target launch is the latest step in Hair Syrup's broader international growth. In the U.K., the brand has established a significant retail presence across major beauty and fashion retailers. The company will now focus on building its U.S. retail footprint while continuing to grow the digital and social community that first created demand for the brand among American consumers.

Maksim Markevich of PVFARM Announced as a Finalist for 2026 Platts Global Energy Awards

Maksim is a candidate for winning the Rising Star Individual category, whose results will be announced in December 2026

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Maksim Markevich, Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer of PVFARM was selected as a finalist for the Platts Global Energy Awards program, now in its 28th year as the industry's premier recognition event. Maksim joins companies and individuals from 36 countries selected as finalists, with over 57% of finalists hailing from outside of the United States. The program's host and organizer S&P Global Energy is the leading independent provider of information, data, analysis, and benchmark prices for the energy, petrochemicals, metals, shipping, commodities, and energy transition markets.

Maksim's nomination for the Rising Star Individual category focused on his achievements in redefining how utility-scale solar, energy storage and solar + storage projects are designed, evaluated, and delivered. As Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of PVFARM, he has led the creation of a new category of software: a decision intelligence platform that works as a layer to connect layout, electrical, structural, civil, and financial workflows into a shared project model. This helps teams make better decisions before risk, cost, and schedule impacts are locked in.

His selection as finalist follows closely on PVFARM's strides to expand their design layer offering, namely the commercial launch of two configuration exploration platforms: RE STACK for energy storage and RE PILOT for utility-scale solar and solar+storage.

"The energy industry continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, requiring resilience, strategic vision, and a willingness to embrace new opportunities. This year's finalists have distinguished themselves through exceptional leadership, technological advancement, and operational excellence. Their achievements demonstrate how innovation is driving progress across global energy markets, and we are honored to recognize them through the 2026 Platts Global Energy Awards," said Simon Marshall, Head of Energy Conferences, Training & Strategic Media, S&P Global Energy.

The Platts Global Energy Awards has been described by participants as the "Oscars" of energy and recognizes corporate and individual innovation, leadership, and exemplary performance in 19 categories spanning the entire energy and chemicals value chain. In addition to the Americas' finalists, many other nations were represented, including Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Turkey, and China.

Winners of the 28th annual Platts Global Energy Awards will be announced on the evening of December 3 after selection by an independent judging panel of international energy experts whose backgrounds and experiences include regulation, policymaking, corporate leadership, trading, and strategic consulting. Neither S&P Global Energy nor its event sponsors submit votes or select winners.

About PVFARM

Launched by a team of builders, PhDs, engineers, and software experts, PVFARM is building the decision intelligence layer for utility-scale solar. The platform brings layout, electrical, structural, civil and financial workflows into one connected design system, helping project teams align around the same numbers, constraints, and tradeoffs early enough to shape outcomes earlier. With more than half of top U.S. utility-scale EPCs using PVFARM as part of their core workflow, PVFARM is helping drive the solar industry make better decisions — from first layout through long-term performance.
