About Roly Poly

What’s the Story

In 1996 the first Roly Poly Sandwich Shop opened for business in the Buckhead section of Atlanta, Georgia. Company founders Linda Wolf and Julie Reid had been rolling sandwiches in their shops in New Canaan, Connecticut (‘86) and in Key West, Florida (‘96) before settling on Atlanta to officially begin building their franchise system. Today, there are over 125 Roly Poly Sandwich Shops throughout 24 states.

What’s the reason for this incredible growth? In a word, TASTE! It’s as simple as that. The varieties of flavors that go into Roly Poly sandwiches are delicious, unique and original. Where else can you find fresh basil chicken salad rolled with crunchy cashews, green leaf lettuce, Roma plum tomatoes, fresh sliced avocado, alfalfa sprouts and spicy Thai hot sauce all rolled in a fresh tortilla? The #30, Basil Cashew Chicken is just one of 50 sandwich selections to choose from. Sandwich recipes developed by Linda and Julie over the past 30 years include fresh herbs and top quality ingredients in combinations that you just have to taste to believe! Mango Chutney, Red Pepper Hummus, Sundried Tomatoes, Artichoke Hearts, and Fresh Sliced Avocados are standard ingredients for all you foodies out there. Vegetarians, we’ve set you up! 12 selections, just for you. If its lean sliced meats and melted cheeses in toasty tortillas that you like. . we’ve got those too!

Whatever Your Taste… We’ve Got Your #

We really do have something for everyone! We’ve added Specialty Salads and Soups. Reduced fat cheeses, dressings and spreads add an even lighter dimension to our menu. Not just delicious, but healthy and hearty too. We’re not just the original rolled sandwich, we’re the original healthy sandwich too!

Our sandwiches and a tasty cup of soup make the perfect All American lunch or light dinner! Roasted Garlic Tomato, Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle, Harvest Mushroom and Broccoli and Cheddar are just a few of our soup varieties to choose from.

You don’t have to be rich to benefit from practical and effective estate planning, including Wills, Trusts and naming guardians for your kids. EVERYONE has an estate plan whether you know it or not. A written estate plan custom designed for your family, however, will ensure that YOUR wishes are carried out in the event of your incapacity or death.

Other services offered by Kristen and her team at My Pink Lawyer® include:

  • Uncontested Probate & Trust Administrations following the death of a loved one to facilitate the orderly (and hopefully, easy!) transition of money and assets from one generation to the next
  • Special Needs Planning for parents to ensure a disabled child’s public assistance benefits are not jeopardized by any inheritance
  • Appointing Guardians for Minor Children
  • Appointing Guardian Advocates for developmentally disabled adults

Much to clients’ delight, all matters at My Pink Lawyer® are handled by flat fee (no surprise bills!) and free, no obligation initial consultations are offered.

Add some Caribbean spice to your life with Doc’s Jamaican Sauces, mon!

 

 

JERK SAUCE

Jerk rubs and sauces have been used for centuries in the Caribbean and were first developed by the Arawac Indians as a method of preserving and cooking meats, poultry and fish. Today, Jerk Sauce is used to create some of the world’s most exciting and uniquely delicious dishes!

Our award winning gluten-free Jerk Sauce comes in 12 oz bottles and is the best of the best!  Semi-sweet, rich and tangy, mildly spicy and delicious, Doc’s MBjerk_sauce_labelFamily Jamaican Jerk Sauceis made with a perfect blend of fine, imported Caribbean spices & herbs and our own unique hot peppers known as “Doc’s Darling Caribbean Reds”

 

These very sweet deep-red peppers, when combined with other spices & herbs and cooked into our mouth-watering sauce, are unique in flavor and delicious beyond description.  Suffice it to say, the end result is a very happy sauce enjoyed by all.
 
If you have never experienced authentic Jerk Chicken, Pork, Beef or Fish, you are in for a real treat!  Heat up the oven or fire up the grill and experience the aroma and taste of sheer bliss!

hot_sauceHOT SAUCE

Being a hot pepper lover, I can’t even begin to tell you how many different hot sauces I’ve tried over the years. What Ican tell you is that I never stopped searching for theperfect sauce. 
 
Call me fussy, but I have certain standards I look for in a hot sauce…

I like it hot, but not to the point that it sears taste-buds and makes my face go numb.  I like pepper-based hot sauces and don’t much care for the tomato-based ones.  I like peppers to be the dominant flavor and not the vinegar.  And I like a touch of sweet, but not so much that the taste of the peppers is overwhelmed or altered. 

 Over a span of years, my hot sauce recipe has changed many times until the delicate balance between the 13 flavor ingredients and the peppers became just right in both heat and flavor.
 hot_sauce_label

Here’s how one customer wrote and described our hot sauce: 

With the first taste of Doc’s Jamaican Hot Sauce you will notice surprising waves of Island flavors wash over you as the heat begins to build. Then the heat will keep building until you begin to wonder if it’s going to grab the wheel and take over, but just shy of exceeding the speed limit the heat backs off in perfect time for the next bite.”

 We agree! Try our award winning hot sauce, now gluten free and we think you’ll agree too!
 
* In terms of a heat, most customers rate our Doc’s Jamaican Hot Sauce somewhere in the 5 to 7 range on a heat scale of 1 to 10.
– Doc

Todd Thomson/ Greater Pensacola Chamber of Commerce
Executive Director of Public Affairs

 

 

Todd Thomson is the Executive Director of Public Affairs for the Greater Pensacola Chamber of Commerce.  Todd has over 20 years of experience in Florida government and politics including serving as staff director for the redistricting committee in the Florida House of Representatives during the 2002 redistricting cycle.  Todd Thomson has also has consulted on legislative campaigns on the federal, state and local levels as well as lobbying for a number of business entities.

 

PENSACOLA, Fla. – Dec. 9, 2015 – The Greater Pensacola Chamber – along with the Gulf Breeze Area Chamber of Commerce, Gulf Coast African American Chamber of Commerce, Pensacola Beach Chamber of Commerce, Perdido Key Chamber of Commerce and Santa Rosa County Legislative Coalition – held its Legislative Luncheon in front of 250 community, business, state and regional representatives in downtown Pensacola today.

 

The Greater Pensacola Chamber released its priorities for the 2016 legislative year, which are broken into three categories: Creating a Better Business Environment, Cutting the Cost of Doing Business and Hometown Heroes.

 

  1. To help create a better business environment, the Greater Pensacola Chamber recommends that state and local government officials act diligently when making economic development decisions and to streamline permitting and regulatory processes that sometimes hinder business opportunities. The Chamber also asks the Florida Legislature to be prepared to respond to any adverse judicial decision that might cause workers’ compensation rates in Florida to rise.

 

  1. The Greater Pensacola Chamber endorses the entirety of Governor Rick Scott’s $1 billion tax cut proposal. Specifically, the Chamber calls for a 1 percent cut in the Florida Business Rent Tax, as well as elimination of the Income Tax on Manufacturing and Retail Businesses and the Sales Tax on Manufacturing Machinery and Equipment. The Chamber also fully supports the proposed increase in the amount of income exempt from the Florida Corporate Income Tax from $50,000 to $75,000.

 

  1. To help improve the lives of our hometown heroes, the Greater Pensacola Chamber announces its support for two pieces of pro-veteran legislation. The Chamber urges the passage of HB 269, which would require the Florida Department of Children and Families to establish the Florida Combat Veterans Care Coordination Program. This program would provide combat veterans and their families with behavioral healthcare referral and care coordination services. The Chamber also supports SB 404, which would create the Veterans Employment Small Business Grant Program within the Department of Veterans Affairs. This program would offer small businesses in Florida a one-time grant of $3,000 for each veteran hired, or $5,000 for each disabled veteran hired.

 

“The Greater Pensacola Chamber supports these common sense proposals that will help grow our local businesses while creating a better quality of life for our hometown heroes,” said Todd Thomson, Executive Director of Public Affairs for the Greater Pensacola Chamber.

John and Marsha Martelli

 

 

 

The Martelli’s are an American family who run one of the most successful sewing equipment companies in the country.

This family-owned operation, includes John and Marsha Martelli, along with their son, daughter, and grandchildren. When you’re working with family on a daily basis, there is bound to be a lot of drama. The Martelli’s know drama, but at the end of the day, they also know love. The show features a unique balance between doing what it takes to run a family business and highlights the likeability of the Martelli family themselves. It also features John Martelli’s love for inventing and displays the characteristics of an American family with a strong Italian heritage.

This show is currently in pre-production and plans to begin airing in the Spring of 2016.

The Martelli’s have a solid entrepreneur background and a strong Italian heritage.

The family was a part of the 12 million immigrants that entered the United States through the portal of Ellis Island, a small island in the New York Harbor. It is now estimated that 40 percent of all current U.S. citizens can trace at least one of their ancestors to Ellis Island. The Martelli family were known for being hard workers and innovators. In fact, John Martelli’s father, Anthony, was known for stating, “If man built it, I can fix it”. History shows that the Martelli’s could not only fix what man built, but innovate and provide cutting edge inventions that help millions of families. 

For over 20 years, John Martelli’s inventions have found enormous success, particularly in the field of sewing and quilting. The Martelli family have provided quilters and other sewing and crafting enthusiasts with the tools and accessories to pursue their art and express themselves.

Their company values innovation and continual improvement through the support of a dedicated research and development team. The Martelli’s believe that it really means something to offer a product that will be appreciated and recommended to others.

What sets Martelli Enterprises apart is their commitment to research, engineering, design, and testing for all of their products. Research and development is the starting point for providing the tools that allow you to execute your creative vision.

The Martellis business is family owned and operated. They are on the premises daily to oversee the many operations. The business began with four family members, and has now grown to include over 20 dedicated employees who are like an extension of the family.

As a new generation steps up to serve their customers, the Martelli’s anticipate preserving this unique combination–a corporate business with a family mentality.

Through ergonomically designed tools like the ErgoCutter, or through innovations in design like the adjustable height of our Longarm Quilting Machine and Work Stations, making life easier for you is what the Martelli’s are all about, allowing you to excel in your chosen craft!

Chef Joe Abston, owner of Hopjacks Pizza Kitchen & Taproom and The Tin Cow, oversees the culinary direction of Pot Roast & Pinot and Edible Invaders. A Pensacola Tate High School graduate homegrown chef learned the right way. Chef Abston started his culinary training at PJC before graduating from the culinary elite Johnson and Wales University, building the foundation for his epicurean adventure.  Humbly Joe applied his education working around the world diversifying his culinary portfolio in such great places as the Ritz-Carlton and Le Bec Fin. Starting in 2008 Joe focused his energies in the downtown Pensacola area – a then small foodie scene. One of the earlier downtown revitalization pioneers, Joe was pivotal on the growth of the downtown area, and continues to further the downtown scene advocating for Gallery Night and chairing the up & coming Palafox Wine Walk. Chef Abston isn’t done yet with more exciting concepts early in the planning stages.
