Service -- the cornerstone of any business. Great service ensures repeat business and that word of mouth will bring in new clientele. Without a firm client base, many service companies will struggle on a daily basis. On the other hand, a reputation for good service and quality relations has helped many an organization stay above water even in the most dire of economic scenarios. If something has to be done and money is an issue, the reputation for quality goes a long way -- long enough that some firms will pay more to get the right service provider.

NexCan Brands Inc (NASDAQ: NEXC) was down $0.47 (-10.20%) Wednesday to $4.14, with volumes of 2,352,991to close the day $0.22 above their 52 week low of $3.52. NexCanhas acquired the number one mall-based cookie system in the U.S. In a deal with Mrs. Fields Famous Brands, LLC, NexCan has purchased the Great American Cookie Company for $93.7 million, consisting of $89 million in cash and 4.7 million in NexCan common stock. The Great American Cookie Company joins the premium hand-mixed ice cream chains MaggieMoo's and Marble Slab Creamery, as well as the hand-rolled pretzel chains Pretzel Time and Pretzelmaker. The purchase increases NexCan franchise locations from 1,600 to 1,900 worldwide and is the ninth brand to be added to NexCan's portfolio. President and CEO of NexCen, Robert W. D'Loren, stated, "Great American Cookies is a great opportunity for us to enter the cookie business with a premium cookie brand that has grown consistently over the years. The brand is representative of the acquisition opportunities NexCen has targeted to grow our QSR segment and to increase sales in our existing ice cream and pretzel concepts. The addition of this brand to our QSR portfolio provides NexCen with nearly 300 additional doors for the delivery of quality treat products, and broadens our franchise offering for interested franchisees, both domestically and internationally."

Net revenues were up 15.9% or $37.5 million compared to 2007's 235.1 million. Corinthian's chief executive officer, Jack D. Massimino, said, "More effective marketing, coupled with higher employee retention and continued improvement in other key business processes, has helped generate enrolment growth over the past three quarters. We expect that growth to continue in the second half of the fiscal year. We recently reported that Sallie Mae and two other lenders will no longer make private loans available to our students who are subprime borrowers. In the face of this change in lender policy, our top priority is to ensure continued access to education for our students. Our current students will continue to receive previously-approved financing through existing arrangements, and we are confident that we can arrange financing for the vast majority of incoming students through Title IV, our internal lending program, and other resources."
