The Sports Bra announces plans to franchise with investment from Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian

oregonlive.com/sports/2024/04/the-sports-bra-announces-plans-to-franchise-with-investment-from-alexis-ohanian.html

Quick Glance: The Sports Bra Announces Franchising Plans with Investment from Reddit Co-Founder Alexis Ohanian

The Sports Bra, a now-iconic Portland destination that made history as the first women’s sports bar in the world, has announced plans to franchise and expand into other cities.

Investment from Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian - the husband of tennis legend Serena Williams - will fund the effort in partnership with Ohanian’s 776 Foundation. All returns from the investment will be invested back into girls’ and women’s sports via the foundation, the Sports Bra wrote in a post on Instagram.

Owner Jenny Nguyen opened The Sports Bra in Portland in 2022, and the business thrived in a city and state that has consistently showcased strong support for women’s sports.

But the growing hype around women’s sports is not unique to Portland. The popularity of women’s professional sports has seen a significant national uptick thanks, in part, to the emerging stardom of athletes like Sophia Smith, Caitlin Clark and others.

washingtonpost.com/business/2024/04/23/ftc-noncompete-agreements/

Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

Richard Gadd's dark comedy-thriller series 'Baby Reindeer' has become a social media sensation, tackling the issue of stalking in a compelling manner.

'Baby Reindeer' offers a nuanced and shocking perspective on stalking, contrasting with other portrayals like 'You' and delving deep into the psychological effects.

Quick Glance: Squatters Cause Chaos in Gordon Ramsay's London Pub

Gordon Ramsay's eatery, York & Albany, was taken over by squatters as the celebrity chef was in the process of finalizing a deal with new partners.

A shocking moment revealed an individual barefoot and sprawled on a black leather sofa inside the restaurant surrounded by personal items and waste, including scattered empty wine bottles.

At least six 'professional squatters' - five men and one woman - were identified living inside the restaurant and its adjacent bedrooms.

The squatters went as far as threatening legal action against anyone attempting to evict them from the premises.
