Kids At Heart Photography Grants Another Franchise in New Jersey

Hamilton, NJ, July 25, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Anthony and Yasmyn Maccaroni of Mercer NJ were recently awarded a Kids At Heart franchise in Somerset County and parts of Morris County, NJ. “After researching different franchise opportunities for over two years, we finally decided to join the Kids At Heart family because we recognized the vast potential Kids At Heart Photography has to become the nation’s leading youth photography company, but more importantly, we felt the Kids At Heart working environment and the opportunity to work with children would be a rewarding lifestyle.”

Kids At Heart Photography, Inc. is the premier leader in school and youth photography, with 16 years of "capturing children's smiles". Founded in 1991, Kids At Heart is the alternative to the typical "point & click" school and sports photographers. We have successfully photographed over one million children.

Anthony and Yasmyn both have a B.S. in Business Management, Anthony from Rider College and Yasmyn from The College of NJ. They also have an extensive customer service background. Anthony has spent several years in the restaurant business as an owner and manager and recently conference service manager in the hospitality business. Yasmyn has managed one of New Jersey’s largest day spas/salons, Metropolis and managed her family’s chain of health food stores, Big Bear.

“We chose Kids At Heart because of their experience, proven record of success, cutting edge systems and quality of product. We feel that Kids At Heart will undoubtedly become the nation’s leading children photography business. Their reputation throughout the country is impeccable and their management team is dedicated, smart and motivated. Kids At Heart has a clear vision and are focused on that vision with the unrelenting passion to succeed”, says Anthony Maccaroni.

This aggressive husband and wife team has launched successful businesses which include two award winning Subway franchises. “Customers would pass two, even three Subway locations to visit our store because our store was always the cleanest in the area and that we provided the friendliest and most professional customer service”, say Anthony. “Offering stellar customer service is inherent in Anthony and I”, says Yasmyn. “We bend over backwards for our customers in everything we do.”

“We are pleased that Anthony and Yasmyn chose Kids At Heart. As former Subway franchisees, we agree with Anthony and Yasmyn that Kids At Heart is the new number one franchise opportunity”, says Michael Stewart, COO of Kids At Heart Franchise Services.

As parents of a beautiful 10 month old girl, Layla and 3 year old boy, Sebastian, Anthony and Yasmyn not only understand children at a level only a parent can, but they have a large extended family and enjoy being around children of all ages.

Anthony and Yasmyn are involved in charities such as Unicef, IRF, Greenpeace, and the Red Cross. Their hobbies include excercising, visiting open houses on weekends and DJing.

“Kids At Heart is proud to welcome Anthony and Yasmyn to the growing Kids At Heart franchise family”, say Michael Stewart. “With their (Subway) franchising experience and their strong motivation to succeed, Anthony and Yasmyn will inevitably be one of our best franchisees.”
