The RINGANA announcement is a BIG one. The Austrian beauty products company is establishing its first US headquarters in Roanoke (at Blue Ridge Commerce Park). It's an $85 million investment, expected to create 435 jobs. The company makes a comprehensive line of products, including skincare, nutritional supplements, and functional beverages—with emphasis on fresh and preservative-free; and therefore, a short shelf life, betting on higher and selective consumer demand.

A Little Bit of Everything >

That's your June 2026 edition of FRONT. The cover feature reports on the latest class of aspiring entrepreneurs in The Advancement Foundation's The Gauntlet business competition. Always cool to see the new ventures and ideas. Beyond those businesses, we have our new wet-dry labs; our new food and farm trail; a cosmetology school; how our gas pumps are inspected; and a hemp/CBD retailer. Not to mention an engineer's perspective on data center resource usage; book reviews, career announcements; FRONT'n Abouts and a recap of business activities in FRONT Notes. Oh, and some of our ads remind you of outdoor music concerts and festivals, just so you know.

Shew....! Summer reading is here. And the start of summer is still 12 days away (astrological, that is; meteorological it's already here!).

Country Ham >

A lot of "best of" lists are questionable. We're going to go ahead and agree with this one. Readers Digest just published its "Best Breakfast In Every State" list, and for Virginia?

Virginia: Country ham
Nestled next to eggs or tucked into ­tender biscuits, country ham is king in the commonwealth. One true southern staple sees it grilled like steak and served with red-eye gravy made from its own drippings and strong coffee. (The bitterness of the coffee brings out the smoky flavor of the ham.)

"Sooooooeeey!" RD. Good call. You even mentioned red-eye gravy.

Are you SURE your color is the best?

Take off your rose-colored glasses for a sec, and see clearly. The colors you present--professionally, personally, in wardrobe, your overall bodily appearance--can make a difference. Is your color applauding or dismissing you? Maybe ask a color consultant. Like the one we feature in your current FRONT. An interesting and revealing and colorful review:
