JA Apparel Corp. to Wardrobe Caribbean Hot Spot

NEW YORK, Feb. 7 PRNewswire — JA Apparel Corp announced today that they have provided the stunning new wardrobe for the staff of Blanchards Restaurant, in Anguilla, the premier restaurant in the Caribbean. Managers and wait staff of this celebrity island haunt will wear custom dress shirts, in colors reminiscent of the beautiful bougainvillea plants that thrive in their locale.

"This has long been one of my favorite places in the world to visit and unwind," said Marty Staff, Chief Executive Office of JA Apparel Corp. "I am excited at the opportunity to partner with my friends, the Blanchards, in enhancing the environment of their restaurant."

Thirty years ago, Bob and Melinda Blanchard turned their frustrations with their careers and lifestyle into a passionate pursuit of living a life of meaning and significance. Through the creation of several businesses they strove to identify what brought them happiness and built success by following their hearts. Then, while on a trip to the Caribbean, as they sat cooking a hamburger on the beach, they realized what their ultimate dream was, and a short time later, they opened Blanchards Restaurant on a beach in Anguilla. They captured their changes of course in their books, including A Trip to the Beach, Live What You Love; Notes from an Unusual Life and the forthcoming Changing Your Course, The 5-Step Guide to Getting the Life You Want.

"We are thrilled to be working with the Joseph Abboud brand," said the Blanchards. "Not only do they produce clothing that look and feel great, but the people there share our 'live what you love' philosophy, making them a perfect partner for us."
