Entrepreneurs Launch LUSH-Like Store After Meeting with TV Star Marcus Lemonis from The Profit at Inc. 5000 Conference
ALBUQUERQUE, NM / ACCESSWIRE / January 23, 2015 / Urban Fresh is trash talking other beauty products at the new EDo store located at 123 Broadway Blvd. SE. Join the local celebrity small business owners Keith & Andre West-Harrison at their grand opening event on Thursday, February 5 from 5:30 to 7 PM with VIP entrance at 4:30. The event celebrates love and Valentines Day shopping.
After meeting with Marcus Lemonis of the CNBC show The Profit at the Inc. 5000 conference the guys spent a weekend binge watching the past episodes.
"We had never watched the show or knew much about Marcus, but hearing him speak and talking with him we quickly realized he is our kind of people," Keith said, "It's like he's family. We believe in all the same principles and values around running a business."
Urban Fresh is on Lemonis' radar. The guys are sending the samples he has requested and are working to get him in Albuquerque for a site visit.
Urban Fresh Cosmetics features fresh, locally handmade bath goods with urban farm grown ingredients made by their family, not a corporate chain. The message of Urban Fresh is to look beyond being green which includes looking at the state of our oceans. The oceans are currently our largest landfill with over 3.5 million tons of trash.
"Sorry to tell people, but most of your beauty products are trash. The plastics end up as garbage floating around the oceans and killing our valuable ocean creatures. We are using very little packaging and what we do use is compostable and biodegradable," said Andre, "It is a revolutionary way to sell products."
Urban Fresh Cosmetics boasts:
- a promise to keep more plastic out of our oceans
- creation of solid products that don't waste water we'll need to drink in the future
- packaging made from compostable craft paper, corn and sugarcane
- the most interactive shopping experience of any store
- the first beauty store to have onsite aquaponics on an urban farm
- no carbon foot print and zero landfill
For almost 25 years they have been working toward being Urban Fresh. It has been a journey from esthetics school to owning a hotel, spa and coffee house in New Orleans until Katrina and finally an urban farm in Albuquerque. It's a family affair that includes days spent drying herbs, packing bath bomb molds and teaching classes to happy customers.
Registration for the grand opening is available on www.UrbanFreshCosmetics.com or by visiting their Facebook page. For more information call Keith West-Harrison at 505-514-1800 or [email protected].
