Caboodle Cartridge Expands Franchise in New York
NEW YORK, Sept. 06– Caboodle Cartridge, the California-based distributor of remanufactured ink cartridges and toners, today announced franchise expansion plans into New York City and Long Island, New York.Caboodle Cartridge New York (CCNY), operated by partners Steve Beiser and Drew Konop, has purchased the rights to open multiple Caboodle Cartridge franchises, as well as to sell franchise opportunities to interested parties, in NYC and Long Island territories. CCNY has set a goal of having 15 Caboodle Cartridge stores open by the end of 2007 and 50 new franchises by 2010.”The market for inkjet and laser printer cartridges is exploding, with sales upwards of $26 billion and growing at an estimated 12 percent a year,” said Stephen W. Beiser, a partner with CCNY. “Until recently, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have dominated this industry by selling ink with such high profit margins that they are virtually able to subsidize the giving away of their hardware. Caboodle’s remanufactured cartridges and toners provide up to 65% savings and protect the environment by reducing landfill waste and oil consumption involved in producing a brand new cartridge.”Caboodle remanufactured toners and cartridges are cleaned, vacuum filled, rebuilt and tested by trained technicians in a controlled environment and centralized facility — not just refilled in the back of a store or farmed out to the multitude of low quality, low cost internet providers. This ability to control quality separates Caboodle from most of their refilling or third party competitors and affords Caboodle franchisees much needed control over their inventory and pricing power.Noted Beiser, “This model not only allows Caboodle to offer superior and more consistent quality among remanufactures, but more importantly, gives franchisees the freedom to focus on sales and customer service versus filling ink, retaining skilled technicians and making customers wait for refills.”Caboodle Cartridge, based in San Jose, California, was created by business executive Daniel Wencel and his inventor son Chris. Caboodle is an industry leader in high quality, lower cost remanufactured inkjet and toner cartridges. Caboodle operates on a simple principle: providing remanufactured cartridges for inkjet, laser printers, copy machines and fax machines that consistently meet the OEM quality and performance but for about half the price.
