ATLANTA, GA , July 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Generation NEXT Franchise Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: VEND) announced today that its flagship subsidiary, Reis & Irvy’s, has signed an agreement with Atlanta business leader, Jennifer L. Scully and her new company, RoboTreats, LLC for the exclusive franchise rights for the robot-staffed frozen yogurt chain in Metro Atlanta, the ninth largest metro in the United States, home to 5.8 million people and one of the nation’s busiest airports.
The $21 million, exclusive territory deal includes contracts for 20 initial Reis & Irvy’s locations along with an agreement and letter of intent for an additional 480 locations throughout the metro area as part of an agreement that secures Scully’s exclusive rights to the greater Atlanta area.
Known for her keen business sense and well regarded in Atlanta’s business community, Scully is the founder and CEO of Clinical Resources, a well-renowned national healthcare staffing firm headquartered in Atlanta. Scully has been awarded numerous recognitions based on the stellar performance of the company, including: INC 500/5000 for 8 consecutive years (America’s Fastest Growing Privately Held Companies), Ernst & Young Entrepreneurial Winning Women Award for 2009, Top 50 Women-Owned Business in Georgia and many others.
Never one to miss an opportunity, Scully formed Atlanta-based RoboTreats, LLC along with fellow Atlanta entrepreneurs Sadie and Wyatt Kulla earlier this year after being convinced of the incredible potential that Reis & Irvy’s disruptive business model presents.
Nick Yates, Chairman of Generation NEXT Franchise Brands, Inc., says he feels honored to be associated with such a high-profile entrepreneur in the city of Atlanta: “Jennifer is able to combine her comprehensive experience with a broad network of contacts as a former board member with American Red Cross, United Way Women’s Leadership Society, and is a current member of the Board of Counselors for The Carter Center. I have full confidence in her ability to promote and expand a large and successful franchise territory,” said Yates.
The Atlanta metro area continues to grow, offering any number of major location opportunities representing millions of persons in foot-traffic each day: from Atlanta Hartsfield Airport, Mercedes Benz Stadium, SunTrust Park Stadium, and Georgia Aquarium; to Emory University and Georgia Tech. Large corporations and organizations headquartered in Atlanta include Coca Cola, UPS, CNN, CDC, Mercedes Benz North America, Porsche North America, Arby’s, Home Depot, The Southern Company, Carter’s and Equifax.
Clinical Resources is certified as a Woman Owned Business through the Women’s Business Enterprise Council (WBENC) and the National Women Business Owners (NWBOC). Scully can utilize these experiences to help to navigate the execution of government contracting and potential first opportunities and tax credits.

The ingenious team at Generation NEXT Franchise Brands, coupled with their cutting-edge technology, robust systems, and extensive market opportunities, will make our partnership a success” states Scully. “When initially introduced to Reis & Irvy’s, there was no doubt we could leverage our operating strengths to launch this game-changing industry.
