ATLANTA, GA / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2025 / Jet Food Stores is making a meaningful upgrade for its customers, particularly families with children, by expanding its partnership with Step ‘n Wash to five additional locations. The new installations will be completed by July 1, 2025, bringing the total number of Jet stores providing this accommodation to nine.

For families and road-trippers, the decision to visit a store often hinges on whether it offers clean and easy-to-use restrooms. By installing Step ‘n Wash, a built-in retractable step stool that allows children to reach the sink safely and independently, the regional convenience store chain is continuing to make its restrooms more family-friendly.

Jet Food Stores, which operates a total of 56 locations throughout central and southern Georgia, first introduced Step ‘n Wash in 2021, and the response from customers was immediate and overwhelmingly positive.

“Anticipating the needs of the entire family was a big part of our decision to include Step ‘n Wash in more of our stores,” says Matthew Turner, Director of Food Service at Jet Food Stores. “Making the strategic decision to implement Step ‘n Wash in stores that experience heavy family traffic affords us a great opportunity to provide our customers with the utmost in convenience. We look forward to implementing Step ‘n Wash in additional stores in the near future.”

“Our customers love Step ‘n Wash – it has been a seamless addition to our restrooms,” says Robin Long, Jet Food Store Manager. “In fact, one mom told me that she goes out of her way to specifically stop at my store when she has her kids with her.”

“Jet Food Stores is an amazing convenience store partner; they don’t just talk about customer care, they show it through action,” said Jacob Fedosky, President of Step ‘n Wash. “As convenience stores compete for the family dollar, a small addition like Step ‘n Wash can have a big impact on the customer experience and ongoing brand loyalty.”

Stephanie Heathman and her team are at the forefront of a movement transforming HR from a back-office burden into a strategic, consultative engine powering business growth.

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2025 / As companies nationwide navigate rising complexity in culture, compliance, and workforce performance, the role of Human Resources is being redefined. The HR Innovator Group ( The HR Innovator Group Website ) – founded by executive HR strategist and national thought leader Stephanie Heathman – is leading this shift with a bold, modern model that positions HR as both infrastructure and influence.

“HR isn’t broken – the expectations around it are,” says Heathman. “We’re not here to put out fires. We’re here to build the systems that prevent them.”

The firm delivers fractional executive leadership, full-scale project support, and its signature HR Pod model – a team-based HR consulting structure that integrates seamlessly into client organizations. Their services are values-based, not hourly, allowing for flexible, high-impact partnerships that adapt to each organization’s size, goals, and leadership needs.

Whether supporting a growing nonprofit, a healthcare company with 800+ employees, or a small business owner looking for foundational HR, HRIG becomes a true extension of the organization – not just a vendor. Leaders gain a strategic partner. Employees gain a team they can trust. Businesses gain clarity, accountability, and growth.

Stephanie’s viral LinkedIn thought leadership has helped ignite this movement, resonating with thousands. Her posts expose the quiet truths behind outdated HR norms and call for a new model rooted in strategy, transparency, and shared ownership.

“We don’t just hand over toolkits and walk away,” Heathman explains. “We are your HR team – available on-demand, project-based, or year-round – with strong, affordable packages for small businesses too.”

The HR Innovator Group is also home to The HRIG Studio, a development arm dedicated to training the next generation of HR consultants to lead with this same clarity, structure, and courage.

With 5-star Google reviews, growing national visibility, and a trusted portfolio of client success, The HR Innovator Group is not following the shift in HR – they’re building it.

The agentic platform unifies fragmented product workflows, turning business intent into coordinated execution at enterprise scale

PALO ALTO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2025 / ProductNow, the first AI-native operating system for product teams, today announced a $6 million seed round led by Sierra Ventures, with participation from Parameter Ventures and senior operators from leading cloud, consumer, and AI companies.

Tript Singh Lamba is the Founder & CEO of ProductNow, an AI-native platform redefining how product teams work. Over two decades, he built flagship platforms at Microsoft, Google, and Expedia-helping launch Bing, the early core of Microsoft Messenger and Azure, and co-founding Google’s Ads AI personalization team. He also led YouTube Ads through hypergrowth and drove an AI-first transformation of Expedia’s consumer product. ProductNow is the culmination of these experiences, a category-defining system for the autonomous product teams of the future.

Modern product orgs don’t struggle to ship code, they struggle to turn business strategy into coordinated execution. While AI has transformed engineering, product workflows remain stuck in docs, decks, and meetings. More than 3 million product, program, and strategy leaders influence over $1 trillion in software spend-yet they’re still waiting for their Copilot moment.

It’s the highest-leverage, least-augmented function in tech: one of the most powerful, yet underserved, layers in the enterprise. ProductNow unifies this chaos into a single AI-native system that helps teams move from idea to impact quickly, aligned, and at scale.

“With AI accelerating engineering, the real bottleneck is no longer code…it’s turning strategy into execution and results,” said Tript Singh Lamba, Founder & CEO of ProductNow. “We’re building a system of leverage that augments teams across product, program, and beyond–amplifying judgment, reducing overhead, and bringing the kind of AI advantage developers have to the rest of the org.”

AI-accelerated code. ProductNow accelerates everything around it.

ProductNow is an agentic platform that seamlessly integrates with the tools teams already use. Its AI copilots augment and amplify leaders across the organization, starting with product, program, and strategy. Welcome to the Neural Command Era, where human judgment is the command, and AI is the engine of execution that turns intent into coordinated action, freeing teams from the friction of docs, decks, and meetings.

“This isn’t an incremental upgrade, it rewires the core of how products get built,” said Tim Guleri, Managing Partner at Sierra Ventures. “ProductNow gives teams a real-time system of execution…something every product leader has wanted, but no one has delivered. It’s a rare kind of platform shift, and Tript has the depth and precision to see it through.”

About ProductNow
ProductNow is building the first AI-native system for product creation in the enterprise. Designed around collaborative agents, the platform replaces fragmented tools and manual workflows with intelligent, end-to-end coordination from strategy to execution. Founded by Tript Singh Lamba, former product executive at Expedia, Google, and Microsoft, the company is backed by Sierra Ventures, Parameter Ventures, and top MAANG operators.
