Argyle Cheese Farmer To Bring Large Part Of Its Manufacturing Operation To Glens Falls

Posted onMarch 9, 2017November 8, 2017
This is the current Argyle Cheese Farmer facility in Argyle, where it manufactures cheese, yogurt and similar products. The company plans to move manufacturing operations to Glens Falls.

By Jill Nagy

Argyle Cheese Farmer will quadruple its space when it moves into a building on Pruyn’s Island in Glens Falls.

Marge Randles, co-owner of the company with her husband, Dave Randles, said they had been looking, unsuccessfully, for three years for a suitable space in Washington County.

She said they expect to maintain a cheese-aging and packaging facility at the current farm location in Argyle, but most of the rest of the manufacturing operation will probably move to Glens Falls. How quickly the transition takes place will depend, in part, on whether the project is among those approved as part of the Glens Falls Downtown Revitalization Initiative.

The Adirondack Civic Center Coalition Inc. will purchase the ECHL Adirondack Thunder from the Calgary Flames in a deal that ensures continued operation of professional hockey in Glens Falls.

The ECHL board of governors unanimously approved the sale in February, providing coalition representatives with a seat on the ECHL board.

The purchase price was not disclosed, but the coalition is launching a “Keep Hockey Here” fundraising campaign to solicit the additional funds necessary for a successful team ownership. It has already raised $200,000 of the $1 million campaign goal, including contributions from coalition members.

The coalition said any profits generated by the team will be used in support of the team and the Civic Center. None of the Coalition members or hockey board of managers will receive any profits.

“Owning the Adirondack Thunder allows us to control our own destiny and focus on the long-term success of hockey and the Civic Center,” Daniel J. Burke, president of the coalition, said on Feb. 28. “Since the Adirondack Red Wings left in 1999, the community has not had a long-term commitment from a professional hockey organization. That changes today.”

R.S. Taylor & Sons Brewery In Washington County To Open Tap Room In Saratoga Springs

Posted onMarch 9, 2017November 8, 2017
This sign welcomes people to R.S. Taylor & Sons Brewery in Salem.

By R.J. DeLuke

R.S. Taylor & Sons Brewery in Washington County hopes to open soon in Saratoga Springs a tap room for its farm-brewed products.

“We hope to be open by Memorial Day weekend,” said Rich Taylor, owner of the farm brewery business at 3602 County Road 30 in Salem.

The company currently operates a tap room on the farm property where people go to quaff the locally made product and occasionally listen to music. Under the farm brewery license, companies like R.S. Taylor & Sons are allowed to open up to five tap rooms. The one in Saratoga Springs will be the second. A third is being planned in the Albany area, Taylor said.

The 1,600-square-foot space is in Congress Plaza in downtown Saratoga Springs, in an end unit in the southern portion of the plaza. The space was formerly Bubbles Laundromat.

Renovations involve putting in a bar and tap service. “It shouldn’t take long to do what we need to do,” he said. The main issue is getting all the necessary operating permits.

Business Report: It’s Just Not Fair

Posted onMarch 9, 2017November 8, 2017
Michael Cruz, president, Lighthouse Advisors LLC in Queensbury.

By Michael Cruz

Something strange has happened in the business world. I keep hearing “it’s not fair” as a mantra for excuses. By now, we should realize that life is not fair. So, why keep whining about it not being so?

What does ‘fair’ mean? Synonyms are: just, equitable, impartial, unbiased. What part of your business world has ever been fair?

Let’s blame our parents. When my kids were young the learned “dada” and “mama” first. The third thing they learned to say is, “It’s not fair!” Most parents attempt to logically justify fairness.

This is especially true when justifying why one sibling gets something, or gets to do something that another sibling is not getting. Yet, trying to explain that it is ‘fair’ harms the child. It sets in motion that idea that life should be fair. I went in a different direction. I told our kids that they were right when they said it was not fair. I would say, “You are right. It is not fair. Get used to it, because life is not fair.” Harsh as it may be, they all learned that life indeed is not fair.
