Get To Know Julz Ice Cream & Candy!

1453 Sacramento Ave
West Sacramento CA 95605 
916.372-2015
 
Julz Ice Cream and Candies, formerly known as Naidu’s Ice cream has been a family owned business in West Sacramento for the past 23 years. We are a wholesale Novelty warehouse specializing in brand names like Blue Bunny, Good Humor, Its It, Nestle, Haagen Dazs, Wonder, Foster Farms, Ben & Jerry’s, M & M Mars, Delicias, and Rich’s to name a few.  We serve the local ice cream truck vendors, mini marts, schools, Churches, Company picnics, and General Public in any event that needs ice cream. 
 
My father, Mr. Naidu started as an ice cream vendor on the streets of Dixon, California, 30 years ago.  We all grew up selling ice cream on the streets of Dixon.  As soon as we got our driver’s license, our father gave us an ice cream truck to teach us responsibility and the value of a hard earned dollar.  Even till this day, we are known as THE ICE CREAM family in Dixon.  I remember throwing candies out from the trucks at the Dixon Mayfair Parade.  Good times!!!
 
Today our pride and joy is this wholesale novelty warehouse, which is operated by husband Ravi, my two son’s Shivam and Avineet and myself, Julz.  We are open seven days a week from 8am to 1pm, weather permitting.  Our hours change for the winter months. But whether hot or cold, ice cream is a treat that everyone loves to eat, stop by and check us out!!!!

From minor services like oil changes to major repairs we are skilled and ready to service your vehicle with care and thoroughness. With over 35 years of experience, we have the knowledge to give you the best service possible.

Unlike most repair facilities, the owner of this facility is the head mechanic!


A Bit of History
Don Westhaver has been working on cars in Vallejo for over 35 years and was shop foreman for the Mercedes-Benz, Porsche dealer in Vallejo for 15 years. He was the recipient of the rare and coveted Star Technician award from the Mercedes-Benz factory. Don also has a great deal of Porsche factory training and has the Audi/VW Quality Control award as well. When that dealership closed, Don decided to go out on his own.

We moved to Vacaville 9 years ago and it began to make more sense to move our business to Vacaville. In January, 2008 we opened for business at our current location. We have been busy ever since with very little advertising and are very pleased that we made the move.


How We Feel About Business

The auto repair business doesn't have the  best reputation, so we go the extra mile to build trust. That includes taking extra time to really explain what your car needs and why. Our goal is to give professional, friendly, honest service without the stress and hassle of going to the dealer. We will never sell you something you don't need.

5 Reasons for Small Businesses to Outsource Payroll

Small business owners are a unique class of citizens. They are ambitious, intelligent, quick on their feet, perceptive, and are generally great problem solvers. They also face a very unique set of challenges. Unlike mega-business moguls who have endless corporate reserves to pull from when the time comes to make something happen, small business owners are mostly on their own. They make the choices, they do the work, and it is up to them to make the most of what they have to work with... which is EXACTLY why they would benefit from the opportunity to outsource a task like payroll out to another company.

The internet and the business sector have given birth to many different payroll outsourcing options over the last few years. As a small business owner, you actually have more options in this area than ever before. But is it worth it? Is it worth it to outsource such a vital component of your business, or is the risk greater than the payoff?

Here are 5 reasons for why you SHOULD outsource the payroll responsibilities of your small business. I am pretty sure that you will find that these reasons make a lot of sense, which is EXACTLY why more small business owners are outsourcing this vital task than have ever before!

1... It Will Save You Money
In the old days, you would have needed to have someone on payroll to do your accounting work. If you didn't have someone, then you would have had to figure out how to do it yourself. While hiring someone is not always a bad thing, it can hurt you if you don't want to spend more money on a full-time person, JUST to do payroll! Outsourcing is much cheaper, and accomplishes the same thing.

2... It Will Save You Time
Outsourcing payroll will keep the problem off of your shoulders. After all, if you don't have an employee to do it, you might have to fill the roll... which will seriously cut in on your own time. As a business owner, you have important things to do, and you might not be able to afford the time it will take you to figure out payroll each week.

3... It Will Keep The Books Accurate
Payroll is definitely not easy! While those who have done it for a while can get used to it, there are a lot of numbers and figures to keep straight. If you do something wrong, it could come back to haunt you later in the form of an IRS audit, and that is definitely something that you will want to avoid! Outsourcing this roll to a professional service, however, will keep you in the free and clear when it comes to taxes, fees, reporting, and wages.

4... You Have A Lot Of Options
Outsourcing payroll is definitely easier now than it has ever been... and one of the reasons for this is due to the incredible number of options at your disposal! A lot of bookkeepers and enrolled agents have payroll and tax services. These options make payroll easy and hassle free! With so many inexpensive options, you would be amazed at how much of a load this could take off of your mind!

5... It Will Help You To Move Forward
As a business owner, you need to keep moving forward. Being stuck on payroll is definitely not something that is going to be conducive to getting more accomplished. If you don't do something to get this task taken care of, it is going to eat up more and more of your time. Eventually, you are going to HAVE to do something... and outsourcing the task now can be a great way to set yourself up for more efficiency later on.

Ultimate Life Services - What I do as a Life Coach

I am often asked-- what do I do as a life coach?

First and foremost -- You cannot get new results with old behaviors. So, I meet with my client (in person or over the phone) and we review their "life history" in as complete a manner as possible.  Part of the process includes discussing their hopes, dreams, and aspirations.  In addition, we conduct a personal life inventory in order to confirm personal strengths. 

Afterword, my main job is to Activate POTENTIAL(we all have potential and talents - it may just it needs to be activated) and Instill CONFIDENCE.  These objectives are achieved by the following:
  • Have conversations you may not want to have that you really need to have.
  • "Push" you to do some things you may not want to do but you need to do.
  • "Help" you become something that you didn't think you could become.
How do I accomplish the above?  By establishing TRUST ... lending PERSPECTIVE ... ensuring PREPARATION ... and providing DISCIPLINE & ACCOUNTABILITY.

Need a coach or desire a coach?  It may not be as expensive as you think and definitely worth the investment.  Please contact me - gary@garyrohmann.com or (865) 803-7404.

ABC Music Store Owners to be Honored for Donating Over $100,000 to Local Music Programs

On May 16th the board of Benicia Unified School District will acknowledge ABC Music Store owners Stan and Marianne Houston for donating more than $100,000 over the past five years to the district’s various music programs. What started as a for-profit enterprise, when originally conceived by the Houston’s, quickly transformed into a fund raising platform as a result of the dire financial burden placed on the district’s operating budget. The Houston’s elected to forego personal profiteering from their Benicia store and instead transferred the last five years of net income to Benicia school music classes and programs. The public is invited to the board meeting as well as a reception which follows immediately at their music store. 

Details: 

Date of BUSD board meeting: Thursday May 16, 2013 
Time: 7:00pm 
Location: District Offices - 350 East K Street - Board Room 
Reception: Immediately following Board presentation 
Location: ABC Music Store & Academy, 739 First Street – Downtown Benicia

GuardDog™ Stops Fuel and Chemical Spills In Their Tracks




Independent Secondary Shutoff Control System® - Spill Prevention Technology

With the environment, life safety and product security in mind, we developed the proprietary patented GuardDog to continuously monitor from 1 to 2 sets of Overfill Detection and Static Ground units, from 1 to 8 individual product meter pulses, up to two vapor recovery hose pressure transducers, and from 1 to 8 individual preset pump commands per unit.

Under normal conditions the GuardDog is silent, until its predictive intelligence predicts valve failure within 750 msec of a wet probe event. Upon the predicted valve failure, it immediately leaps into action to shutdown pumps, close storage tank base valves and lock out the loading operation. It alerts management personnel of the problem and provides an opportunity for investigation. The GuardDog gives management control by not allowing loading to continue or resume until management determines that it is safe to load again by initiating a keyed system reset switch.

Not only does the GuardDog stop potential spills in their tracks, but it also sniffs out potential leaks, prevents over pressurization of cargo tank and attempted sabotage and product theft. It prevents catastrophic events while maximizing performance and minimizing false positives. The GuardDog gives management significant improvement in facility safety, security and control.
