for many dieters weight loss is temporary .
furthermore , testimonials of those who had been very successful under the plan had to be accompanied by a disclaimer :
this result is not typical . you may be less successful .
in addition to these provisions , jenny craig was also forced to publish the average weight loss its customers experienced and to provide scientific data supporting future claims .

details of the closing cooplands of doncaster shops have been released , after the bakery went into pre - pack administration last week .
alison’s coffee shops limited ( acs ) - which traded as cooplands and operated from premises in doncaster – entered administration last week .
cooplands of doncaster should not be confused with scarborough - based craft chain coopland & son , which has not gone into administration . the company trades as cooplands quality bakers across east yorkshire , lincolnshire and the north east , and is a completely separate company .
“an entirely new product range is on sale and an ever increasing percentage of products is made in house at the original bakery of cooplands in doncaster .
he added that a new product range was on sale and that an increasing percentage of products was made in - house at the original cooplands bakery in doncaster .
“on the same day , 29 retail units ( countrywide ) were acquired by cooplands retail limited . the 150 staff have been retained and the business continues trade . ”
cooplands of scarborough has bought skeltons from administration in a deal which almost doubles its estate from 43 to 77 shops and makes it the uk ' s fourth - largest bakery chain .
paul davies , director of resolve said : “resolve are pleased to announce the purchase of the majority of cooplands ( doncaster ) stores , preserving more than 260 jobs at the company .
robert mcilroy concludes : “cooplands now has better control of the overall business , not least because we receive up - to - the - minute accurate information via our reporting system . ”
adrian berry , for deloitte , said : “cooplands has seen a recent deterioration in trading performance across its retail business , which combined with a significant fixed manufacturing cost , has resulted in unsustainable losses .
in numerous ways , alfarichi and j2 have helped cooplands increase the efficiency and profitability of its shop estate , at the same time making managers more autonomous and reducing the need for head office resource .
when the company first went in to administration , cooplands’ head office and production site in wharf road , doncaster closed , as well as 39 stores . in total 303 jobs were lost in the town .
the emphasis of cooplands is to maintain the product service that has continued over the past decades , which has established the company’s traditional , family - run image . alongside this image is the reliance upon local suppliers in the making of its products , as david explains : “some of cooplands’ suppliers have been working with the company since 1932 . the business has formed a comfortable relationship with some suppliers , which is important and shows reliability . wherever we can , cooplands buys regional produce – however , that isn’t always possible , so occasionally it will have to import supplies from other regions and countries . every so often , the company has to go abroad to buy special items , like chocolate from belgium . ” cooplands also believes in only dealing with honest suppliers which remain upfront about the prices of their products and delivery costs : “the company relies on their honesty , meaning that it only deals with suppliers that keep their word and don’t add on hidden charges . those suppliers that cooplands has been associated with for longest have been upfront about their charges . ”
nasim sharf , corporate partner at rollits who led the deal said
we have a strong association with cooplands and this was an excellent opportunity to work together again to secure some of the woodheads ` bakery stores .
nothing exciting . sandwich and pastie were
fine
. sausage rolls as ever greasy as hell once cold . just your standard cooplands really . should have gone to one of the
less chain
pie / pastie shops really .
the company expanded the range of products it sold in the 1980s to include cooked meats , a delicatessen line and an in - store butchery , as well as the bakery line . following the competition and new trading environment provided by the rise of supermarkets , the 1990s saw cooplands re - focus upon its bakery line . the original shop was closed as doncaster town centre was restructured , and the company turned it into the hallcross public house , which had its own brewery . cooplands also invested in the turnpike pub at bawtry , as well as the 45 bedroomed lion hotel in worksop . facing competition from companies like gregg’s and baker’s oven has meant that cooplands has concentrated on maintaining its high levels of service .
in a statement from resolve , the company said : “we would like to thank our loyal customers and staff for their support during cooplands’ 83 - year history and your local bakery looks forward to serving you for many years to come . ”
when cooplands secured a deal earlier this month to take over 18 of the woodhead bakery shops after they fell into administration , it marked another step in the success of the company and excellent news for the economy of hull & the east riding .
a spokesman said : “alison’s coffee shops limited which traded as cooplands bakery has gone into administration . stephen parker and trevor binyon , partners in opus restructuring llp were appointed as administrators on november 2 . following a period of sustained cash flow pressure .
i was working in acomb and called in to cooplands for some snap . despite it being really busy i was quickly served . i ordered a tuna salad sandwich and a fruit tart . the lady who served be was in great spirits and made a delicious . . .
this shop has all the trademarks of no investment . one person on duty is ridiculous and they had run out of 3 of the 4 things we wanted . the next time we went they did not have 2 of the 4 things we ordered . cooplands . . .
since opening their first store in scarborough back in 1885 , the business has expanded to cover an area stretching from lincolnshire to teesside , and from the east coast to leeds . now with 111 shops and 9 cafes , cooplands is one of the region ' s biggest employers .
lunch time - pasties are like a 5 - 10 min wait because there still in the oven . no chocolate concrete fuming , and one large nasty stale yum yum absolutely awful it has put me off cooplands for the time being now will stick to gregs and its . . .
the york / scarborough branch of cooplands ( the half that didn ' t go into and out of receivership ) still do decent yorkshire curd tarts . if you have a bakery in yorkshire and don ' t sell decent curd tarts , there ' s no point being there , is there ?
stephen parker , partner at opus restructuring said : “it would have been a tragedy if such a well - known local business as cooplands had failed after being a fixture in its region ever since it was originally established in 1885 . we are pleased to see it survive and continue to serve its loyal customers . ”
this is the second time cooplands of doncaster has been sold in a pre - pack administration deal . just under two years ago , the business was acquired out of administration by corporate restructure specialists resolve . the sale secured 259 jobs , although 39 stores and the bakery and head office in doncaster closed , resulting in the overall loss of 303 jobs .
alfarichi software , running on j2 pc - based touchscreen tills , has addressed the operational issues a retail bakery faces and has raised the bar on efficiency and profitability . at cooplands , the software is installed in all the shops and at head office , where it helps to perform shop - related operations and is used by accounting , sales and ordering teams .
alfarichi has rolled out its solution on j2 615s to shops without pc - based tills ; each has between 1 – 4 tills . as remaining non - j2 tills come to the end of their useful life , they are being replaced with j2s . says trevor claybrough : “within 2 - 3 years , cooplands expect to have moved entirely to j2s . ”
explains trevor claybrough , alfarichi’s managing director : “retail bakers were making do with epos developed for non - food retail or hospitality . no one was taking account of their needs . we were well advanced with our development and , in cooplands , found the perfect partner , willing to collaborate on fine - tuning a specialist solution and be the first to benefit from it . ”
the family - run environment of the factory is something that cooplands prides itself upon , as david comments : “i would say the key to our success has been the freshness of our products , coupled with the reliability of our delivery service . having the personal touch of being family run is also a key part of our business . primarily , the company bakes bread and cakes , but it also has a meat department , which cures ham and bacon , as well as a pasta production facility – resources a normal bakery wouldn’t have . cooplands employs almost 800 people , and every morning i like to personally tour the factory , and chat with the employees – i enjoy getting along and joking with everyone , it encourages the family feel of the environment . it is vitally important to maintain this close - knit relationship between management and workers , to make them feel like they belong . ” it is not uncommon for some employees to have worked for cooplands for 35 years or more . david is very keen to inculcate this ethos throughout the running of the company , and his hope for the future is focused on one goal : continuity .
he continues : “our software is well designed and not particularly resource - hungry so doesn’t need a powerful processor . we recommended the j2 615 because it’s robust . it’s fanless too , which is ideal for dusty retail bakeries , and staff find its 15” screens comfortable . cooplands uses the j2 615’s different mounting options , and has a combination of pole - and counter - mounting . ”
by 2008 , cooplands was running its business using two epos systems . unable to communicate , neither was reliable nor could produce the mission - critical data needed to manage the business efficiently and plan growth . specialist epos solutions company , alfarichi , then came on the scene . alfarichi was already supplying its software to bakeries and was in the process of designing a bakery - specific epos solution .
comments trevor claybrough : “before acquiring the alfarichi and j2 solution , cooplands expended energy on trying to obtain accurate trading data . now its focus is on shop - specific and consolidated data , and on managing the business . it has complete visibility of profitable and less profitable shops , knows which shops and which products generate most wastage , and can easily pinpoint best - and worst - performing lines . ”
cooplands bakers is a long - established retail bakery business with a strong regional following and 85 stores across yorkshire , lincolnshire and nottinghamshire . the business has 550 retail employees , a further 200 in head office and production , and a yearly turnover of £18million – all the hallmarks of a business that knows what its retail and wholesale customers want , and that has evolved to meet the needs of successive generations .
in the past , five head office admin’ staff recorded and processed telephone orders from 85 store managers across up to 200 lines . now orders are now placed via the tills – a virtually error - free and instant process , and only two admin’ staff are needed to extract order data and enter it into the production system . this saving alone meant that cooplands gained a very fast return on its investment .
large shop estates and sales of daily - ordered and carry - over goods make stock management complex for retail bakeries . cooplands , for example , has 200 lines . given the bread and fresh cream cakes disposed of each day , wastage is a major drain on their finances . more so than in other retail sectors , bakeries need instant and reliable daily data from each shop to drive stock control and supply .
having worked at cooplands for over 50 years , david is devoted to keeping the same working routine : “i’ll be 78 years oldthis year , so i work shorter days . i start at 7 . 30am and finish around midday , unless there is an emergency , and then i stay on longer . ” the company has come a significant distance since mrs jenkinson opened the baker’s shop in 1932 , but coopland’s spirit has remained the same : using the same local , honest suppliers ; focusing on producing the same quality products that the public enjoy ; and guaranteeing delivery of products on time .
margins are slim in retail bakery , so it is important to track everything , down to the last gram of butter . a valuable function , unique to alfarichi , is the ability to record the weight and composition of made - up items such as sandwiches . the system highlights if precise weight / quantity or ingredient guidelines are not adhered to , say , too much butter being put in a roll , or ham disappearing from stock . cooplands now has complete visibility and can focus its attention on any shop that departs from the norm ; yet another way of eliminating shrinkage through staff theft .

«thanks to alfarichi and j2 epos , we now know exactly how each shop is performing . our ordering and stock management have improved , and food wastage and till shrinkage have reduced . »
the business is split into retail sales – through stores and mobile sandwich deliveries ; bakery and despatch – with inhouse baking facilities in doncaster ; and wholesale operations – production of savouries , bread and sandwiches for the industry .
says claybrough : “retail bakers need to know what has sold well or sold out , and how much waste has been generated . although both sales and wastage figures should be recorded and communicated to head office at each day - end , many in the industry still make do with cumbersome systems that transmit data overnight by modem . ”
the j2 tills are true pcs and go beyond point - of - sale transactions . they are used in the shops for sales , ordering , stock - related operations such as declaring delivery ‘overs’ and ‘shorts’ , ‘shop use’ and ‘damages’ , transfer of goods between shops , and wastage .
stock control and ordering have improved . the business – both at a shop manager level and at head office – knows in real - time if stock is running out . when it comes to ordering , the till suggests a quantity for each product , based on past sales . this results in more accurate stock control , fewer empty shelves during the afternoon and less waste to dispose of . “stock is optimised so we don’t waste as many cakes and pastries , ” says mcilroy .
as for the order process itself , shop managers do this from the till rather than use a back - office telephone to call in sales each evening . the result is fewer errors , plus more time to spend front - of - shop serving customers .
in all retail businesses , shrinkage erodes profit margins . using j2’s touchscreen tills , where all products are defined to buttons , makes easy work of data entry and prevents items being sold inadvertently at the wrong price .
other till - based issues include staff ‘selling’ goods to friends and then cancelling the sale to reconcile till cash . the alfarichi system eliminates this with ‘void’ reporting . suspicious instances can be investigated and anything other than a genuine error flagged as dishonesty .
another plus of the alfarichi software is ‘shop reconciliation’ . with order placement automated , delivered stock can be easily compared against its order and any ‘over’ or ‘short’ items flagged for head office to organise additional deliveries .
bakeries operate quite complex promotions . with the new solution , it is possible to analyse the true value of each offer and understand how effective it is in terms of margin and increased spend . “staff don’t have to remember complex promotions – the till does this for us , ” says mcilroy .
today , the company is focusing on the development of its website which caters for made - to - order celebration cakes . david outlines the company’s hopes : “i would like to see steady , careful expansion in the future . we would like to maintain the regional basis of the company , but also look into the possibility of opening up new shops . we run a successful delivery service that is very efficient , a service that begins at 2 . 30am every day , and ends around 10am . all the shops are in a relatively close proximity to each other , easing the delivery system . ”
in regards to opening new stores , david continues : “operating regionally as this company does , there is always going to be a saturation point in regards to how many new stores the company can open , and it is approaching that . in the near future , i can see a possible five to ten per cent increase in stores without increasing the amount of regions the company operates in . ”

restructuring firm opus , who were brought in to handle the companies debts in november last year , confirmed that the well - known high street chain had gone in administration for the second time since february 2015 earlier this month .
the spokesman added that although they did not have a specific breakdown of the figures , they estimated that around 50 jobs had been saved in the borough across eight shops .
administrators opus restructuring llp said it would have been a “tragedy” if such a well - known local business had failed after being a fixture in the region since 1885 .
“we are pleased to see it survive and continue to serve its loyal customer base” added opus partner stephen parker .
“customers are returning and sales are increasing once more , ” said the spokesman . “we are fiercely proud of coopland’s yorkshire roots and believe we offer a genuine and value alternative to the large national bakery chains and supermarkets . ”
a perfect place to call in for a takeaway lunch . lots of choice of hot pasties etc , and freshly made sandwiches and cakes . take advantage of their meal deal , its got to be the best value around .
it ' s just over a year since we last called into the bakery at askern . it ' s become an annual visit on the way to our friends in doncaster . what a disappointment to find that they no longer make yorkshire curd tarts - the best ( as they . . .
the doncaster - based firm , founded in 1932 , had 80 stores , 26 mobile sandwich vans and 562 employees .
administrators deloitte said the business had made unsustainable losses , due to high manufacturing costs and falling trade .
part of the business has been sold to restructuring firm resolve , securing 259 jobs .
adrian berry , joint administrator , said :
regrettably , we have had to close 39 retail stores , together with the bakery and head office in doncaster .
however , there is some positive news today with the sale of 41 retail stores and the entire mobile sandwich van business .
shane sweeting , from the union unite , which represents about 10 % of the workforce , said the firm had been a major employer .
these are jobs that are hardly likely to be replaced . they are a long - standing employees , they have been there a lot of years and they will really struggle to find employment elsewhere .
