Chicken Fight: Are Chicken Strips Cannibalizing Chicken Nugget Servings At Foodservice?

Not since the classic why did the chicken cross the road? question has there been such a puzzling chicken question as this: Are chicken strips cannibalizing chicken nugget servings at foodservice? Chicken strip servings at restaurants and foodservice outlets increased by 16 percent in the quarter ending September 2018 compared to same period last year whereas chicken nugget servings declined by 3 percent, reports The NPD Group. The logical answer is that fans of breaded chicken are swapping out nuggets for strips. The correct answer: No they're not.

Chicken nuggets lost buyers but these buyers were not switching to chicken strips, according to NPD's receipt mining service, Checkout, which follows the same buyers over time. The lost nugget buyers did not increase their participation with chicken strips in the quarter ending September 2018 compared to last year. The simple answer is that the two breaded chicken items appeal to different buyers, and the double-digit growth in chicken strip servings is attributed to product innovation at quick service restaurants and new fast casual concepts built around chicken strips.

Although things may not be going well for chicken nuggets at the moment, there were still 2.3 billion chicken nugget servings ordered in the year ending September 2018 compared to 1.5 billion servings orders of chicken strips. There is also the fact that chicken overall is popular with consumers. Pounds of chicken shipped by broadline distributors to independent and micro/small chain restaurants and other foodservice outlets increased by 4 percent in the period compared to last year.

"Innovative restaurant operators have taken a long time favorite food and elevated the offering," says David Portalatin, NPD food Industry advisor and author of Eating Patterns in America. "Chicken strips have long been a consumer favorite, but when you take something that consumers already love and deliver value, or elevate the form as some fast casual concepts have, you have a strong platform for growth."

Ivey Engineering Awards $1,000 Scholarship to Pennsylvania High School Senior Marissa Fukas

Ivey Engineering, Inc., (IEI), an engineering consulting firm, is pleased to announce that Marissa Fukas of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, is the winner of the winter 2018 bi-annual scholarship essay contest. She will attend Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania in fall 2019.

Fukas recently graduated from Shaler Area High School and will major in accounting while attending Slippery Rock University.

"I was a bit lost in choosing a major for college," Fukas says. "At first I thought I would major in physics, but my heart wasn't okay with that. Then I looked into accounting and fell in love with it," she says.

Fukas competed with over 100 other college students from the United States and Canada. Applicants were tasked to write an 800- to 1,000-word essay on one of three topics and were judged for creativity and originality. Fukas' winning essay discussed several unique ways to incorporate energy efficiency into a building. One tip she mentions in her essay is using proper insulation. Be alert to the latest news.

"Typically there is a correlation that can be seen between a building's energy efficiency and its insulation," Fukas explains in her essay. "A thorough insulation of floors, walls, and ceilings can save up to 80 percent of the cost of heating and cooling a building, showing that with a higher grade insulation, a building will not have to run heating and cooling systems as frequently," she says.

"Marissa's essay was original, well written and included relative ideas on energy efficiency," says Scott Friesen, president of IEI. "You can tell that Marissa spent some time doing research from the quality of her essay," he says.

Fukas sees herself in the next 10 years graduating from college and being a successful business woman.

"We're impressed with Marissa's optimistic outlook and where she wants to go in life," Friesen says.

IEI understands how valuable a college education is and also the expense that goes along with it. The scholarship contest is a win for both IEI and the student since it allows the firm to give back to the community.

Any potential or current college or university undergraduate student within the United States or Canada is able to apply. The next deadline for essays to be submitted is May 1, 2019. For contest requirements or for more information about the scholarship, visit IEI's scholarship web page. Click here.

American IRA a Self-Directed IRA Firm Releases Fourth Quarter Financial Checklist for Self-Directed IRA Investors

Autumn and winter mean a number of things to different people, but for those who like to keep themselves financially prepared, it means one thing: the arrival of the fourth quarter. Recently, American IRA, a Self-Directed IRA firm based in North Carolina, released a financial checklist of sorts for those Self-Directed IRA investors who need to keep up on their finances.

The checklist included a wide range of topics of which Self-Directed IRA investors need to keep apprised—for example, required minimum distributions, or RMDs, need to happen before the end of the year for those who are 70 ½ or older during 2017. RMDs can be a source of headaches for those who do not realize that after a certain point, they have to begin withdrawing from their retirement accounts—but for those who self-direct, there is often little warning for these distributions.

Another item on the checklist: gifting. Transferring assets as gifts or executing rollovers of assets that are not currently liquid before year's end can require immediate planning for those who want to make this happen before December 31st.

"This guide is important for people who find themselves in a holiday lull," said Jim Hitt, CEO of American IRA. "It is tempting this time of year to find all sorts of excuses for not being fully up-to-date on your responsibilities financially. But we believe that the best way to go about managing a Self-Directed IRA is with a proactive approach: get the checklist out of the way before the holiday season and you will not have to worry as the new year creeps up."

The guide included a wide range of topics for people with Self-Directed IRAs. Because a Self-Directed IRA allows an investor to make their own financial choices with a high degree of freedom allowed by the IRS, it means that they will often find themselves responsible for certain filings and responsibilities throughout their financial lives. The checklist at American IRA highlights the important Self-Directed IRA milestones that have to be accomplished before the fresh quarter and a new year.

For more information and to view the guide, visit http://www.AmericanIRA.com. Interested parties can contact American IRA at 866-7500-IRA.

"About:
American IRA, LLC was established in 2004 by Jim Hitt, CEO in Asheville, NC.
The mission of American IRA is to provide the highest level of customer service in the self-directed retirement industry. Jim Hitt and his team have grown the company to over $400 million in assets under administration by educating the public that their Self-Directed IRA account can invest in a variety of assets such as real estate, private lending, limited liability companies, precious metals and much more.

As a Self-Directed IRA administrator, they are a neutral third party. They do not make any recommendations to any person or entity associated with investments of any type (including financial representatives, investment promoters or companies, or employees, agents or representatives associated with these firms). They are not responsible for and are not bound by any statements, representations, warranties or agreements made by any such person or entity and do not provide any recommendation on the quality profitability or reputability of any investment, individual or company. The term "they" refers to American IRA, located in Asheville and Charlotte, NC."

Millennial Payment Company Sezzle Hires Target and TD Bank Alum As Chief Risk Officer

Sezzle, the leading US-based financial technology company offering interest-free installment plans for online shoppers, announced today that they have added Jamie Kirkpatrick as their Chief Risk Officer. Prior to joining Sezzle, Jamie was the Head of Risk Management for TD Bank's partnership with Target and the Target REDCard program. Kirkpatrick will oversee Sezzle's risk and decisioning operations.

"I couldn't be more excited to join Sezzle's mission to financially empower young consumers.

At Sezzle, we are going to make sure consumers have a pay over time product that works for them while responsibly preparing them for success in their future financial product needs.

Kirkpatrick comes to Sezzle as a veteran of the retail and credit industries where he has had a proven track record in leading and growing major credit programs. Prior to his role leading risk with the REDCard, Jamie was the VP of New Customer Credit and Fraud at Bluestem Brands, where he helped improve decisioning on a multi-billion dollar portfolio.

"We're very pleased to add Kirkpatrick to Sezzle's executive team. His experience with underwriting with the REDCard and with Bluestem Brands adds an invaluable amount thought leadership to our team," explains Charlie Youakim, CEO of Sezzle. "The entire Sezzle team welcomes Kirkpatrick and we eagerly anticipate the improvements he will bring to our decisioning processes."

About Sezzle
