The platform is home to a marketplace that hosts listings for luxury asset and service providers, providing customized account access to individual clients, concierge companies and corporate travel groups. 

Cooper expands on the company's proven track record in the luxury industry and is a global expansion for the Cooper Hues product portfolio beyond the private jet charter space. Cooper Hues' venture into the technology space is aimed at filling a longstanding gap in the industry, whereby, sourcing, booking and reservation management is still a largely manual process. Designed with concierge, vendor and corporate partners in mind, Cooper enables enterprises to instantly increase their global footprint and streamline business operations, saving money and increasing their margins — all while reducing the agency's overhead that is typically associated with sourcing, quote reviews and reservation management. The platform even includes a commission markup tool and multi-currency, secure payment gateways to make the process of sourcing, customizing and securing a reservation as efficient as possible. 

Cooper's state-of-the-art digital platform also enables independent clients to browse, book and manage their own lifestyle services. The company recognizes modern consumer behavior depicts a change in preferences, with a large majority of industry newcomers looking for more control over their booking experience. Clients have the option of performing one-time reservations or booking assets and services on a recurring subscription basis. 

For those requiring more bespoke services, Cooper Hues provides an even higher tier of membership: the Cooper Verified status. Such membership includes '24/7, 365' Cooper concierge access with a dedicated Cooper agent. Cooper Verified agents deliver bespoke requests, deals and packages outside of existing marketplace options, and provide client access to ultra-premium categories like private jet club memberships, exclusive parties and more. 

"It's a game changer," says founder and CEO Gal Ozery. "It does for luxury services what Airbnb did for holiday rentals and what Amazon did to everyday shopping. We combined every asset and service that high-end clients want into a single platform that supports various types of members. Everybody wins."

Vendors and concierge companies can expect to reduce booking risks, payment delays and lack of data security with the digital storefront and partner services provided by Cooper's platform. The platform aims to reduce their partners' overall booking and operations costs by an estimated 10-20% — an overhead cost typically incurred by firms who do not leverage technology to source, quote and manage their client books.  

Cooper Hues has already begun accepting new clientele and partners amidst the pre-launch, and is opening the books to more clients, vendors, corporate, and concierge companies ahead of the global launch.

Beginning Monday, July 3, and running through National First Responder's Day on Saturday, Oct. 28, LaMar's Donuts will hand out one free small coffee and one free donut with a hole every Monday to each first responder visiting a LaMar's location. LaMar's "First Responder Mondays" promotion pays homage to a decades-long tradition of Ray LaMar's charitable spirit and community involvement.

LaMar's Donuts dates back 90 years to 1933, when 17-year-old Ray Lamar began hand-making donuts with the best ingredients available. In 1960, Ray opened a donut shop in Kansas City in a converted gas station. He made the donuts by hand, mixing, rolling, cutting, and deep-frying them himself. At the end of each day, Ray donated any leftover donuts to nonprofit organizations such as churches and homeless shelters in the Kansas City community.

Today, the spirit of Ray's philanthropy lives on in the 25 LaMar's Donuts locations across Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. 

"LaMar's Donuts is thrilled to be continuing a decades-old tradition of giving back to the community through our First Responder Mondays promotion," said Temi Osifodunrin, LaMar's director of marketing and advertising. "They work tirelessly daily to ensure our communities are safe and healthy. They deserve to be rewarded."

LaMar's Donuts encourages firefighters, police officers, and healthcare workers to stop at any location every Monday starting July 3 to fuel up for the week ahead. To receive a free small coffee and donut with a hole, each first responder may simply present an official badge from the responder's place of employment.

About LaMar's Donuts - After developing his original donut recipe as a teenager in 1933, Ray Lamar opened the first LaMar's Donuts in Kansas City, Missouri, on Linwood Boulevard in a converted gas station. Today, the franchised chain has 25 stores in five states. LaMar's has won numerous awards and has earned favorable reviews by such publications as The New Yorker and Gourmet magazine. LaMar's donuts were also the first to be reviewed and acclaimed by Zagat, the world's most trusted guide to restaurants. Visit us at LaMars.com.
