“Five hundred, twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes. How do you measure, measure a year?” What great lyrics from one of the most successful rock musicals of all time, Rent. Even though from an iconic song, these words ring true for the average person. We all have the same amount of minutes in a year and days in a week, but sometimes it all gets so hurried. You try to handle everything; the job, family, friends, appointments, and our children’s rigorous schedules. But, at the end of the day, you just crave a great, healthy meal with your tribe where everyone can recount their day and plan ahead for tomorrow. Also, could somebody else cook tonight, please? After all, we only get so many minutes in a year, so getting out of the kitchen and looking into the eyes of those you hold so dear while you consume a wonderful meal should be tops on your list. You crave something unique to let your family know that every moment you spend together is to be celebrated. Tonight, Jpan Sushi & Grill is doing the work, while you enjoy your minutes with whoever is important in your life.
Who loves sushi? Quick answer: Everyone! Some foods become fads rather quickly, then burn out, and are just thought of as a food of interest for that time period. Not sushi. Sushi done right is a particular diner’s version of heaven on earth. And at Jpan Sushi & Grill, the freshest sourced ingredients and expert sushi chefs create a culinary experience you won’t soon forget. With two locations serving Siesta Key and University Town Center, Jpan is never too far when your sushi cravings kick in. And let us not forget that sushi is not the only star of the show. Their salads, rice, seafood, beef and chicken dishes tantalize any taste bud.
For owner, Daniel Dokko, expanding his thriving set of restaurants has always been a natural progression. From their beginning days at Lakewood Ranch when customers began trickling in to now, when JPan is considered one of the premiere sushi destinations in Sarasota, a third restaurant was never out of the realm of possibilities. Daniel is proud to announce the third installment to his restaurant line, which will be unveiled some time the end of 2020. The new Korean-based establishment, Kore’ will be a standout amongst a great lineup of seasoned restaurants grounding the immensely popular Lakewood Ranch dining district. Stay tuned for details, the excitement for everything happening at JPan Sushi & Grill et al is palpable.
Does Daniel and the team over at JPan utilize IBE? Absolutely! Daniel is quick to rattle off the long list of merchants who have become friends over easy, mutually-profitable barters. When A/C woes have gotten them down in the past, they have two great IBE companies that are delightful to deal with, especially when things get heated. Veteran Air and Cool Today have proven to be extremely reliable IBE partners. When plumbing problems have frustrated the folks at JPan, they rely on the professionals at Pro Plumbing Air & Electric to keep the pipes in top shape. Several new relationships have been forged through the cohesive group of IBE merchants, and Daniel and the folks at JPan are proud to be members.
Celebrating their 11th year as Sushi phenoms is proving to be exciting and tasty over at JPan Sushi & Grill. Remember, as the days get busy and time is flying by, you only get so many minutes in a year. Take yourself out of the kitchen, out of the ordinary, and spice up your minute bank with a delectable meal at JPan Sushi & Grill. And, don’t forget, their sister restaurant will be opening at the end of 2020!
Today, more than ever, it is essential for humankind to take care of Mother Earth. We have been provided an expansive, beautiful planet which has nourished, sheltered, and embraced us with all of our differences. So, the choices we make need to honor our home, the environment, and the future. “Reduce, reuse, recycle” used to be the mantra of a generation but now it is in our blood. We don’t give a second thought to recycling everything we come in contact with. Throw it in the garbage to end up in a landfill? Not you.

We all know that a hairdresser can quickly become your best-friend. Angela Powers knows that too, that is why she loves treating her employees with QR certificates at a wide array of IBE restaurants. From Clayton’s Siesta Grille to Ophelia’s on the Bay, the team at Angela’s Pure Salon & Spa does their best work on the days that IBE QR certificates are up for grabs. They utilize several IBE cleaning outlets to keep the salon in tip-top shape and would recommend to any merchant unsure of whether to join the IBE family to, “Jump in!”

When it comes to a good night’s rest, there is nothing more important to the health of you and your day than a proper mattress. If you wake up with a pain in your neck or back due to lumps in your mattress, those aches will likely stay with you throughout the day until, alas, you return to the same old, offensive bed. Tossing and turning, trying to capture that one elusive position that will make sure your head and neck are properly aligned, but, with every move you find yourself sinking to the center of the bed as if it is a cavernous dungeon down below? We feel your pain. Everyone deserves and needs a comfortable night’s sleep, our health depends on it. If you have had enough of sleepless night that result in sluggish days, the answer lies at Mattresses & More, a local leading provider in quality and affordable mattresses.
Do you know what lives within your mattress? It is a literal petri dish of organisms just waiting for you to lie down so they can dine on sloughed off skin tissue. If that sounds disgusting to you, then you are on par with millions of Americans who are discarding their decades old mattresses for the latest in mattress comfort. With so many options to choose from, whether it be memory foam, gel, or innerspring, today’s choices do not align with your “mother’s mattress.” No, today, innovative technologies have made it so that your room doesn’t need to be burdened down by redundant mattress and box spring combos. Now, you can get what you want all in one unit! And, if you and your partner have different ideas of what the proper incline it is for your bed, have no fear. From adjustable beds to ultra-soft/ultra-firm options, Mattresses & More has every mattress imaginable to make your nights dreamy.
Sometimes people find that after bills are paid and children’s needs are met, there just isn’t enough money to splurge on a mattress. And, what if the entire family is in need of bed upgrades? That could get very costly. Mattresses & More caters to families and those on budgets with a number of convenient financing options. With no money-down plans, and zero percent interest, there really is no reason to hesitate. Plus, the sales team at Mattresses & More understands that when you come in for a mattress, you want a mattress. Upselling is not the name of the game at this local store but they do have an outstanding selection of beds, mattress protectors and pillows, just in case.
The folks at Mattresses & More understand that a “work hard, play hard” mentality not only requires a comfortable mattress but also money to finance the “playful” part. That is why they use IBE bartering as a way to obtain services without spending their capital. Why pay for computer upgrades and new signage when you can just consult the long list of qualified professionals who are on the IBE team? Chances are that if you need something, IBE can provide it, and without you letting go of one red cent. That is a sure fire way to pass the savings on to your customers. Mattresses & More knows that just as everyone needs a great mattress, they also need to rely on organizations like the IBE network to make their bottom dollar go farther.
There are a few ways we can look at pest control. No, it is not a topic we want to discuss around the family dinner table, especially if entertaining the new boss and his lovely wife. If you’re meeting a date for the first time, you might not want to lead with, “Hey, how are you keeping the termites at bay this summer?” Pest control is something we absolutely need to have in place, especially in our beautiful, but buggy, state of Florida. You must have it, knowing it is on the list of essential services needed for your home and office, but then you want to blissfully forget about it and have faith that your pest control issues are being handled by the very best. Take a nice, long look around the room you are in at this moment and as you make a full circle admiring your clean environment, remember that Brock 360 Pest Solutions is the only source to keep your spaces bug free.

What’s better than having Brock360 protect your home or business? How about paying for their services via an IBE barter? That’s what many of Greg’s clients do and just love the convenience and, of course, ultimate affordability that IBE provides. Around the office, Greg and his employees use fellow IBE merchants for all of their printing, cleaning, and advertising needs. It’s a win-win for everyone, much like all the barters within the extensive IBE network.
