New York Restaurant Show
Singer recently exhibited in the International Restaurant and Foodservice Show of New York through our New York division, M. Tucker. The event was held at the Javits Convention Center from March 3rd to 5th. Our first year in this show, we had a significant presence with a 20’ x 40’ booth showcasing the newest products from our manufacturer partners. Traffic was very high all three days and our display generated much interest. Thanks to all of our customers who visited us there. If you’d like to attend next year’s event, mark your calendar for March 2-4, 2014.

Restaurants Get a Break!
There’s a bit of good news relating to the tax changes for 2013. Anyone who leases a building and spends lots of money on renovations to create a restaurant would normally be able to deduct those costs over the next 39.5 years. A provision allowing restaurants to reclaim the costs over 15 years — giving them larger deductions — expired in 2011, but now will become retroactive for 2012 and extend through 2013. For anyone who opened a restaurant last year, that’s an unexpected and positive financial surprise.
Singer Equipment Company Employees Provide Hurricane Sandy Relief
Employees Come Together to Donate and Deliver 2,736 Cases of Bottled Water to Those Affected by Hurricane Sandy
ELVERSON, PA – November 26, 2012 – Singer Equipment Company, its New York division
M. Tucker, and its employees pooled their resources to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy. During the one-week campaign, employees donated 2,736 cases of 16.9-ounce spring water. That’s a whopping 65,664 bottles! The idea came from one of Singer’s employees, Kevin Rudnitsky, who initiated the challenge and offered to match the first 300 cases with an equal donation of his own. The company offered the water at a reduced cost and contributed the difference on all cases donated.
Singer drivers delivered the water via two tractor trailers on Monday, November 26th to the Salvation Army Franklin Women’s Shelter in Bronx, New York. The drivers then assisted in the unloading of the water at the relief site.
While Singer and Tucker employees were marginally affected by the storm, many of their customers and associates suffered significant damage. More than 70% of employees offered donations, creating the overwhelming response.
Singer Equipment Company is currently the fourth largest foodservice equipment and supplies distributor in the United States, servicing PA, NJ, NY, CT, DE and MD. Its nine contract offices provide kitchen design and installation services nationwide. Stores in Wyomissing and Philadelphia are open to the public.
