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. Come found out why Entrepreneur magazine call us one of the
“hot 100 franchises.”
