Solar Operations and Maintenance for Commercial Properties

One key qualification to consider when selecting a solar partner to install your system is whether they have an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) or service department. Since solar is a long-term asset with an expected lifecycle of 30 plus years, ongoing O&M should be considered up front. A trusted O&M partner will maximize your system’s energy output and therefor the return on your investment.

Noodles chief executive Kevin Reddy said in the earnings release that the company opened 14 new restaurants in the first quarter, including 13 company-owned locations. He said the company is on track to open 42 to 50 company-owned sites this year along with 10 to 15 franchise sites.

Reddy said Noodles will be rolling out a catering program to most of the country by the middle of the third quarter.

“We feel these initiatives, supported by intense focus on our throughput and service initiatives, will garner momentum through the balance of 2014,” Reddy said.

Noodles shares closed at $38 Tuesday, up nearly 4 percent.
