TGI Fridays™ Signs Landmark Development Agreement with Devolli Group, Accelerating Global Growth with First-Ever Expansion into the Balkans

Plans include 10 restaurants across Kosovo, Albania and North Macedonia, establishing a strategic gateway for growth across Southeast Europe and reinforcing TGI Fridays' global expansion under its 1-2-3 Strategic Vision.

DALLAS, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TGI Fridays™, the iconic global restaurant and bar brand, today announced the signing of a landmark development agreement with Devolli Group, one of the Balkans' leading diversified business groups, marking the brand's first-ever expansion into Kosovo, Albania and North Macedonia.

The agreement represents a significant milestone in TGI Fridays' international growth strategy and reinforces the brand's global momentum as it continues to scale through its franchise-first development model. As part of the partnership, Devolli Group will develop 10 TGI Fridays™ restaurants across the three markets and has secured exclusive rights to sub-franchise the brand throughout the territory, creating a platform for long-term expansion across Southeast Europe. The partnership lays the foundation for long-term growth across the Balkans, bringing TGI Fridays'™ bar-forward atmosphere, bold and craveable menu, and high-energy dining experience to guests across Kosovo, Albania and North Macedonia.

This development agreement is the latest milestone in TGI Fridays'™ ambitious 1-2-3 Strategic Vision to operate more than 1,000 restaurants worldwide by 2030. Over the past nine months alone, TGI Fridays™ has accelerated its international expansion by signing new development agreements in Kenya and the Maldives, while extending strategic partnerships to drive continued growth across Peru, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, Greece, Cyprus and Spain. Collectively, these agreements have added more than 150 restaurants to the brand's global development pipeline, reinforcing the strength of TGI Fridays'™ international franchise network and demonstrating the continued global demand for one of the world's most iconic casual dining brands.

For more than 60 years, TGI Fridays™ has been bringing people together through great food, handcrafted drinks and unforgettable celebrations. The Balkans, with its rich tradition of hospitality, vibrant social culture and strong sense of community, represents a natural next chapter for the brand's international growth.

As one of Europe's fastest-growing tourism and hospitality regions, fueled by increasing international investment, modern retail developments and evolving consumer demand, the Balkans presents an exciting opportunity to introduce the iconic TGI Fridays™ experience to a new generation of guests across Kosovo, Albania and North Macedonia. Beyond expanding consumer choice, the partnership is expected to create new employment opportunities, invest in local hospitality talent and contribute to the continued growth of the region's foodservice, tourism and visitor economy while bringing the unmistakable Fridays spirit to one of Europe's most dynamic emerging markets.

"The Balkans represent one of Europe's most exciting growth opportunities, combining entrepreneurial energy, a thriving hospitality sector and a culture that values gathering around the table. Those qualities align perfectly with what TGI Fridays™ has stood for since day one," said Phil Broad, Global President, TGI Fridays™. "Devolli Group is the right partner to introduce TGI Fridays™ to the Balkans. Their market expertise, operational excellence and long-term vision give us tremendous confidence in what we can build together. This partnership not only expands our international footprint, but also advances our 1-2-3 Strategic Vision as we continue bringing the Fridays experience to new guests around the world."

Blerim Devolli, President of Devolli Group, added:

"We are proud to bring TGI Fridays, one of the world's most recognized American casual dining restaurant brands, to Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia. This partnership reflects our commitment to investing in world-class brands and delivering exceptional hospitality experiences across the region. We look forward to building a strong, long-term business that creates new opportunities, develops local talent, and brings a globally recognized dining experience to our customers and communities."

The addition of the Balkans further strengthens TGI Fridays'™ European footprint, complementing its established operations in Greece, Cyprus, Spain, Norway and the United Kingdom. The agreement reflects the continued momentum of TGI Fridays'™ franchise-first growth strategy, expanding into high-potential markets through experienced local partners. Guided by its "1-2-3 Strategic Vision," the brand remains focused on accelerating global expansion while delivering the iconic Fridays experience with consistency, quality and local relevance.

As TGI Fridays™ enters the Balkans for the first time, the partnership with Devolli Group marks more than expansion into a new region, it begins a long-term commitment to investing in local communities, creating opportunities and bringing the unmistakable Fridays spirit to a new generation of guests across Southeast Europe. Because wherever TGI Fridays goes, every day should feel a little more like Friday.

Haier annonce un partenariat mondial avec la Ligue des champions de l'UEFA

Une nouvelle étape importante dans le développement de la marque renforce les liens entre Haier et ses clients à l'échelle mondiale

BERLIN,/PRNewswire/ -- Haier, première marque mondiale d'électroménager, a annoncé aujourd'hui un partenariat mondial avec UC3, dans le cadre duquel Haier deviendra partenaire mondial de la Ligue des champions de l'UEFA pour les saisons 2027/28 à 2030/31.

Ce partenariat d'une durée de quatre ans (du 1er juillet 2027 au 30 juin 2031) accorde à Haier les droits exclusifs mondiaux dans les catégories des appareils électroménagers, des téléviseurs et des écrans d'affichage commerciaux dans le cadre de diverses compétitions de clubs de l'UEFA, notamment la Ligue des champions de l'UEFA.

Au-delà d'un simple parrainage commercial, cette collaboration illustre le passage de Haier du statut d'entreprise d'électroménager de renommée mondiale à celui d'entreprise cherchant à nouer des liens plus étroits avec les consommateurs du monde entier.

« Ce partenariat marque une étape décisive dans la stratégie de marque mise en place par Haier au niveau mondial », a déclaré Wang Meiyan, Vice-présidente et Directrice de la marque du groupe Haier. « La Ligue des champions de l'UEFA rassemble des millions de supporters du monde entier autour d'un objectif commun : l'excellence. « Dans le cadre de cette collaboration, nous souhaitons faire entrer la passion et l'esprit de compétition dans le quotidien des consommateurs, en ouvrant la voie à de nouvelles opportunités grâce à des technologies intelligentes. »

« C'est avec un grand plaisir que nous accueillons Haier, notre nouveau partenaire mondial de la Ligue des champions de l'UEFA. Sa présence internationale, sa capacité d'innovation et sa volonté de créer des expériences toujours plus adaptées aux besoins des utilisateurs font de Haier le partenaire idéal de cette compétition. Ensemble, nous souhaitons créer de nouvelles opportunités pour impliquer les supporters du monde entier et les faire vibrer encore davantage avec les compétitions que nous organisons, tout en célébrant l'émotion, l'excellence et le sentiment d'appartenance qui font la singularité du football européen », a déclaré Guy-Laurent Epstein, co-directeur général d'UC3.

De la reconnaissance internationale à la connexion mondiale

Au moment de son entrée sur les marchés internationaux en 1991, Haier était l'une des toutes premières entreprises chinoises à miser sur une croissance mondiale en développant ses propres marques, plutôt que de simplement exporter ses produits. Au fil des décennies, Haier s'est fortement implanté au niveau local dans plus de 200 pays et régions, se plaçant dans le peloton de tête sur plus de 30 marchés.

Cette présence mondiale s'appuie sur un réseau de 10 centres de R&D, 35 parcs industriels et 173 sites de production répartis dans le monde entier. En alliant ses capacités mondiales à sa connaissance du terrain, Haier développe des produits, des solutions et des expériences adaptés aux besoins variés des consommateurs sur l'ensemble des marchés.

Cette approche a valu à l'entreprise une reconnaissance mondiale durable. Haier occupe la première place mondiale des marques d'électroménager en termes de volume de ventes au détail depuis 17 années consécutives et figure depuis huit années consécutives dans le classement Kantar BrandZ des 100 marques mondiales les plus valorisées.

Fort de ces résultats, Haier continuera à renforcer sa présence sur les marchés haut de gamme tout en développant des marques, des produits et des solutions qui répondent aux attentes en constante évolution des consommateurs et ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives en matière de vie connectée.

Diriger grâce à la technologie, créer des liens grâce au sport

La technologie est depuis longtemps un moteur essentiel du développement mondial de Haier. À mesure que l'intelligence artificielle s'intègre aux produits, aux scénarios connectés et aux écosystèmes de vie intelligente, Haier va au-delà de l'innovation sur les produits individuels pour proposer des expériences plus intégrées dans toute la maison.

Le lien entre les avancées technologiques dans la vie quotidienne et la place centrale qu'occupe le sport dans la culture offre une formidable opportunité pour tisser des liens plus étroits avec les consommateurs. Depuis plus de deux décennies, Haier s'est constitué un portefeuille mondial de partenariats sportifs comprenant des clubs de football de premier plan, notamment le Paris Saint-Germain et le Liverpool Football Club, ainsi que de grands événements sportifs internationaux, tels que l'Open d'Australie et Roland-Garros.

Au fil des années, la stratégie de Haier en matière de marketing sportif a évolué : alors qu'elle visait au début à renforcer la visibilité de la marque, elle a désormais vocation à tisser des liens plus étroits avec les consommateurs grâce à des partenariats sportifs internationaux et à des expériences adaptées au contexte local. Au-delà du football et des événements sportifs internationaux bien établis, Haier a élargi son portefeuille sportif sur différents marchés, notamment le badminton, le marathon, le cricket et le basket-ball.

Le partenariat réalisés dans le cadre des compétitions de clubs de l'UEFA, notamment la Ligue des champions de l'UEFA, la Supercoupe de l'UEFA, les finales de la Ligue des jeunes de l'UEFA et les finales de la Ligue des champions de football en salle de l'UEFA, marque une nouvelle étape dans cette aventure. En alliant la passion du football et l'excellence de l'élite de ce sport aux possibilités offertes par un mode de vie connecté, Haier a pour ambition de créer des expériences qui dépassent l'enceinte du stade pour s'intégrer au quotidien des consommateurs.

Dévoilé lors de l'IFA 2026 à Berlin, l'un des plus grands salons mondiaux consacrés à l'électronique grand public et à l'électroménager, ce partenariat renforce la volonté de Haier de tisser des liens plus solides avec les consommateurs du monde entier. En collaboration avec la Ligue des champions de l'UEFA, Haier associe l'esprit de compétition à la vie connectée, offrant ainsi de nouvelles expériences aux consommateurs et aux supporters du monde entier.

À PROPOS DU GROUPE HAIER

Fondé en 1984, le groupe Haier est un fournisseur mondial de premier plan de solutions pour une vie meilleure et la transformation numérique, avec pour objectif « Plus de création, plus de possibilités ». L'entreprise a établi dix centres de R&D, 35 parcs industriels et 173 centres de fabrication, atteignant un chiffre d'affaires mondial de 59,8 milliards USD en 2025. Haier a été classé dans le Kantar BrandZ Top 100 des marques mondiales les plus valorisées pendant huit années consécutives. De plus, Haier a occupé la place de numéro 1 dans le palmarès Euromonitor International Global Major Appliances Brand pendant 17 années consécutives. Haier regroupe huit sociétés cotées en bourse. Sa filiale Haier Smart Home est présente dans le classement Fortune Global 500 et dans le palmarès Fortune des sociétés les plus admirées.

À PROPOS D'UC3

L'UC3 rassemble l'UEFA, l'instance dirigeante du football européen, et l'European Football Clubs (EFC), qui représente plus de 800 grands clubs européens, autour d'une nouvelle vision de la gestion des droits commerciaux liés aux compétitions de clubs de l'UEFA (les « UCC »). Il s'agit de l'entité commerciale chargée de générer des revenus grâce aux UCC et de créer de la valeur pour nos partenaires. UC3 supervise la gestion, la commercialisation et la mise en œuvre de l'ensemble des droits commerciaux (notamment les droits médiatiques, de sponsoring et de licence) liés aux compétitions de clubs d'élite masculines et féminines de l'UEFA.

CHiQ en IFA 2026: De la expansión global a un mayor compromiso local

BERLIN, 4 de septiembre de 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- En IFA Berlín, celebrada el 4 de septiembre, CHiQ presentó su nueva gama de electrodomésticos con inteligencia artificial (IA), que incluye televisores, frigoríficos, aires acondicionados y lavadoras-secadoras. En lugar de centrarse únicamente en las especificaciones técnicas, la marca demostró cómo la IA se integra en las rutinas domésticas cotidianas, marcando un cambio de la innovación tecnológica a las experiencias diarias y reflejando el continuo enfoque de su empresa matriz, Changhong, en la localización en los mercados globales.

Para satisfacer las diversas necesidades del hogar, CHiQ está incorporando la IA en un número creciente de situaciones cotidianas. Su línea de televisores RGB MiniLED con IA integra una plataforma deportiva con IA, transformando el televisor de una pantalla tradicional en un centro interactivo para el ejercicio en casa y actividades compartidas. El aire acondicionado cuenta con un radar de presencia humana con IA que detecta la ubicación y los hábitos de los usuarios para ajustar el flujo de aire dinámicamente. Por su parte, el frigorífico y el sistema de lavado con IA emplean sensores y monitorización inteligentes para ayudar a los usuarios a gestionar de forma más proactiva la frescura de los alimentos y la limpieza de la ropa.

En la jornada inaugural de IFA, Grundig, socio estratégico de CHiQ y marca europea de electrodomésticos de alta gama, presentó una nueva línea de productos que incluye televisores, frigoríficos, lavadoras-secadoras y aires acondicionados. Esta presentación supone una extensión más del desarrollo de marca y la estrategia de producto de Grundig, y apunta a una nueva dirección para la compañía en los mercados europeos y globales.

En los últimos años, CHiQ se ha centrado en simplificar las tareas domésticas cotidianas mediante la innovación inteligente. La marca ha introducido un panda gigante virtual como asistente interactivo con IA, aportando calidez y personalidad a sus televisores inteligentes y otros electrodomésticos con IA, a la vez que incorpora de forma natural elementos distintivos de la cultura china en la experiencia del usuario.

El esquí se ha convertido en otro vínculo que conecta a CHiQ con el estilo de vida europeo. Durante este mismo periodo, la marca ha reforzado su presencia en Europa como socio oficial de datos de la Copa del Mundo de Salto de Esquí de la FIS. Estos esfuerzos han profundizado la relación de CHiQ con los consumidores en Europa y en todo el mundo. Al mismo tiempo, la marca incorpora la velocidad del esquí y la esencia de los deportes de invierno en sus productos, acercando la tecnología al estilo de vida de los usuarios.

Detrás de estas iniciativas se esconde un cambio más amplio: CHiQ está impulsando sus esfuerzos de localización. Desde las experiencias de producto y la comunicación de la marca hasta los deportes, la cultura y otros aspectos de la vida local, la empresa está estableciendo puntos de contacto más diversos a medida que expande su presencia en Europa. Más allá de simplemente entrar en mercados extranjeros, CHiQ busca integrarse en ellos, alineando su expansión global con los mercados locales a los que sirve.

Acerca de CHiQ

CHiQ, uno de los principales fabricantes mundiales de electrónica de consumo y electrodomésticos, está redefiniendo los estándares del sector con productos innovadores, tecnologías inteligentes y un creciente compromiso con la responsabilidad social corporativa. Su influencia continúa expandiéndose en los mercados globales, especialmente en Europa.

CHiQ na targach IFA 2026: od globalnej ekspansji po silniejsze zaangażowanie na lokalnych rynkach

BERLIN, 4 września 2026 r. /PRNewswire/ -- 4 września podczas targów IFA w Berlinie CHiQ zaprezentowała nową gamę urządzeń gospodarstwa domowego wykorzystujących sztuczną inteligencję (AI), obejmującą telewizory, lodówki, klimatyzatory oraz pralko-suszarki. Zamiast skupiać się wyłącznie na parametrach technicznych, marka pokazała, jak AI może wspierać codzienne funkcjonowanie gospodarstwa domowego. Tym samym CHiQ podkreśliła przejście od samej innowacji technologicznej do praktycznych doświadczeń użytkowników oraz konsekwentne zaangażowanie spółki macierzystej Changhong w dostosowywanie swojej oferty do potrzeb lokalnych rynków.

Aby lepiej odpowiadać na różnorodne potrzeby gospodarstw domowych, CHiQ wykorzystuje AI w coraz szerszym zakresie codziennych zastosowań. Telewizory RGB MiniLED AI TV wyposażono w zintegrowaną platformę AI Sports Platform, która przekształca tradycyjny telewizor w interaktywne centrum domowej aktywności fizycznej i wspólnego spędzania czasu. Klimatyzator wykorzystuje technologię AI Human Presence Radar, która wykrywa położenie użytkowników i rozpoznaje ich nawyki, aby dynamicznie dostosowywać przepływ powietrza. Z kolei lodówka i system pielęgnacji odzieży wykorzystujące AI inteligentnie monitorują ich stan, pomagając użytkownikom lepiej dbać o świeżość żywności i czystość ubrań.

W dniu otwarcia targów IFA, Grundig, strategiczny partner CHiQ i europejska marka urządzeń gospodarstwa domowego z segmentu premium, zaprezentowała nową gamę telewizorów, lodówek, pralko-suszarek i klimatyzatorów. Prezentacja ta stanowi kolejny etap rozwoju marki Grundig i realizacji jej strategii produktowej, wyznaczając jednocześnie nowy kierunek działalności na rynkach europejskich i światowych.

W ostatnich latach CHiQ koncentruje się na ułatwianiu codziennych obowiązków domowych dzięki inteligentnym rozwiązaniom. Marka wprowadziła wirtualną pandę wielką jako interaktywnego asystenta AI, który sprawia, że korzystanie z inteligentnych telewizorów i innych urządzeń wykorzystujących AI staje się bardziej przyjazne i angażujące, a jednocześnie w naturalny sposób wprowadza do doświadczeń użytkowników charakterystyczne elementy chińskiej kultury.

Narciarstwo stało się również ważnym elementem budowania więzi marki CHiQ z europejskimi konsumentami i ich stylem życia. W tym samym okresie marka umacniała swoją obecność w Europie jako oficjalny partner danych Pucharu Świata FIS Cup w skokach narciarskich. Działania te pozwoliły CHiQ zacieśnić relacje z konsumentami w Europie i na całym świecie. Jednocześnie marka czerpie inspirację z dynamiki narciarstwa i charakteru sportów zimowych, tworząc produkty lepiej dopasowane do stylu życia użytkowników.

Za tymi działaniami stoi szersza zmiana: CHiQ coraz silniej koncentruje się na dostosowywaniu swojej oferty do potrzeb poszczególnych rynków. Rozwijając swoją obecność w Europie, przedsiębiorstwo coraz lepiej wpisuje się w lokalne realia - poprzez ofertę produktową, komunikację marki, sport i kulturę. CHiQ nie ogranicza się już do obecności na zagranicznych rynkach, lecz dąży do tego, by stać się ich integralną częścią i jak najlepiej odpowiadać na lokalne potrzeby oraz uwarunkowania.

CHiQ

CHiQ, jeden z czołowych światowych producentów elektroniki użytkowej i sprzętu AGD, wyznacza nowe kierunki rozwoju branży, łącząc innowacyjne produkty i inteligentne technologie z rosnącym zaangażowaniem w społeczną odpowiedzialność biznesu. Marka systematycznie umacnia swoją pozycję na światowych rynkach, szczególnie w Europie.

About INBRX-106

INBRX-106 is a hexavalent agonist targeting OX40 (CD134), a costimulatory receptor on T-cells. Utilizing Inhibrx's proprietary single-domain antibody (sdAb) platform, INBRX-106 is designed to achieve the high-order receptor clustering necessary for robust T-cell activation and survival, a feat that has eluded traditional bivalent antibody approaches.

About Inhibrx Biosciences, Inc.

Inhibrx Biosciences is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a broad pipeline of novel biologic therapeutic candidates. Inhibrx Biosciences utilizes diverse methods of protein engineering to address the specific requirements of complex target and disease biology, including its proprietary protein engineering platforms. Inhibrx Biosciences was incorporated in January 2024 as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Inhibrx, Inc. Prior to the sale of Inhibrx, Inc. and the INBRX-101 program to Sanofi S.A., Inhibrx Biosciences acquired certain corporate infrastructure and other assets and liabilities through a series of internal restructuring transactions effected by Inhibrx, Inc. Inhibrx, Inc. also completed a distribution to holders of its shares of common stock of 92% of the issued and outstanding shares of Inhibrx Biosciences. Following such transactions, Inhibrx Biosciences' current clinical pipeline of therapeutic candidates includes ozekibart (INBRX-109) and INBRX-106, both of which utilize multivalent formats where the precise valency can be optimized in a target-centric way to mediate what we believe to be the most appropriate agonist function.

JA part en tournée à travers l'Europe pour présenter ses solutions intégrées « énergie solaire + stockage »
Image File
Original HTML

PABIANICE, Pologne, 4 septembre 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- JA a officiellement lancé sa première tournée de présentation en Europe, Journey Ahead: JA Roadshow 2026, dont la première étape se tiendra en Pologne. Au cours des huit prochaines semaines, ce stand itinérant parcourra le continent pour faire découvrir directement aux clients les dernières solutions de JA combinant production photovoltaïque et stockage d'énergie.

Marquant la première tournée européenne à grande échelle de JA sous la marque unifiée « One JA », cette initiative propose sur le terrain une démonstration concrète du passage de l'écosystème énergétique intégré de JA du stade du concept à celui de la mise en œuvre dans le monde réel.

Partant de Pologne, cette tournée fera étape dans plus de 20 villes réparties dans 11 pays, dont la Hongrie, la Roumanie, l'Allemagne, l'Italie, l'Espagne et bien d'autres, afin de couvrir les principaux marchés énergétiques européens.

Conçue pour répondre à la demande croissante de résilience énergétique et de services intégrés de production d'électricité solaire et de stockage d'énergie en Europe, cette tournée de promotion vise à mettre en avant la gamme de produits centrale de JA, construite autour de technologies intelligentes d'énergie solaire et de stockage. Trois zones d'expérience dédiées aux applications suivantes : systèmes photovoltaïques intégrant le stockage, secteurs commercial et industriel (C & I) et centres de données, montreront les capacités de l'entreprise en matière de solutions énergétiques intégrées de bout en bout.

- Dans le domaine du photovoltaïque, JA exposera sa gamme complète de modules à haut rendement, notamment ses séries phares DeepBlue 5.0 et DeepBlue 4.0 Pro, fondées sur la technologie TOPCon. Parmi les produits vedettes, on peut citer les solutions antiéblouissement, disponibles à la fois en verre microstructuré et en verre gravé à l'acide. On trouvera également le module HyperGen, qui exploite les technologies à contact arrière et surface intégrale propres à JA. Ce module atteint un rendement de conversion des cellules de 28,2 %, certifié comme record mondial, qui jette des bases techniques solides pour une production d'électricité hautement performante.

- Dans le domaine du stockage d'énergie, la tournée présentera les solutions destinées à diverses applications :

-

- JAPlanet Fusion, un système intégré « énergie solaire + stockage » pour les applications commerciales et industrielles, qui permet une coordination intelligente entre production d'électricité solaire, stockage et charges du site.

- JAPlanet 2.0, un système de stockage d'énergie tout en un adapté aux secteurs commercial et industriel, qui assure une gestion intégrée de l'énergie pour les entreprises et les parcs industriels.

- JAGalaxy, une solution de stockage d'énergie à grande échelle pensée pour l'intégration des énergies renouvelables, les applications côté réseau et les grands centres de données.

- Pour les applications soumises à des exigences strictes en matière de sécurité des données, de confidentialité et de réglementation, la solution numérique de gestion d'énergie Nebula™ de JA offre des options de déploiement modulable au niveau local, européen ou hybride en fonction des règles à respecter et des spécificités du projet.

Le lancement de la tournée de promotion en Pologne ouvre un parcours de deux mois à travers l'Europe, au cours duquel JA organisera des discussions techniques approfondies et des démonstrations de produits avec ses clients locaux. Au fur et à mesure de l'avancée de la tournée, les nouvelles haltes, les activités prévues et les dernières informations seront publiées sur le microsite qui lui est consacré, à l'adresse journeyahead.eu.

In HelloNation, Shed Expert Keith Kirwin Explains Permit Requirements for Backyard Sheds

The Article Outlines How Homeowners Association Guidelines and Local Permit Rules Can Each Affect a Shed Installation Project

CHARLESTON, S.C., Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Do you need a permit to install a backyard shed? A HelloNation article answers that question and looks at how homeowners association guidelines and local government rules can affect a shed project in Charleston, South Carolina.

The article features insights from Keith Kirwin, Shed Expert with Cool Sheds. It explains that homeowners association guidelines and local permit requirements are two separate sets of rules that apply to backyard sheds. Meeting one does not guarantee approval from the other.

According to the article, homeowners associations often review shed requests through an architectural committee. This committee looks at size, color, and placement on the lot. The article notes that a formal application is often required before a shed is purchased or installed.

The article explains that local building departments focus on separate concerns, including setback distances, maximum square footage, and foundation standards. It adds that permit requirements vary by city. A shed that needs no permit in one town might require full review in the next.

The Shed Expert's insights, as described in the article, point to setback rules as an area that deserves close attention. The article notes that a shed placed too close to a property line can trigger a costly relocation order.

The article also discusses foundation requirements. It notes that a building department may require a poured slab, gravel base, or anchoring system, depending on the shed's size and intended use. It states that a shed delivered before this groundwork is finished can lead to storage costs or delays.

Timing is another theme covered in the article, which explains that HOA architectural reviews and municipal permit reviews can each take several weeks. Starting both processes at the same time, rather than waiting for one to finish before starting the other, can shorten the overall wait.

The article closes by noting that installing a shed without required approval can lead to fines or forced removal. It adds that complications can also arise when a home is later sold. It recommends that homeowners review HOA guidelines and confirm local permit requirements before finalizing a purchase.

Keeping copies of every application, approval letter, and site plan can make both review processes easier to manage, according to the article. These records can also help if a dispute arises after installation, since they show exactly what was approved and when.

The article points out that shed dealers and installers often work regularly in a given region. These professionals tend to know which cities and associations require extra documentation. Asking about that experience before placing an order, the article suggests, can help homeowners anticipate potential delays.

Homeowners sometimes face a rule that does not quite fit their property, whether it involves setback distance or shed height. In these cases, the article notes, a formal variance request is often possible. Approval for a variance is never guaranteed, but many associations and building departments allow homeowners to ask.

A little research before buying a shed can prevent most of the common problems homeowners encounter, the article concludes. Reviewing HOA guidelines and checking with the local building department are both reasonable first steps that do not take long.

How HOA Rules and Local Permits Affect Your Shed features insights from Keith Kirwin, Shed Expert of Charleston, South Carolina, in HelloNation.

BTC Digital Ltd. Regains Compliance with Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement Following Prior Deficiency Notice

SINGAPORE, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BTC Digital Ltd. ("BTC Digital" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BTCT), a Nasdaq-listed digital computing infrastructure company, today announced that it has received written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") confirming that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share, and that the matter is now closed.

As previously disclosed in the Company's Report on Form 6-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 2, 2026, the Company received a deficiency letter from Nasdaq on August 27, 2026 indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule") because the closing bid price of the Company's ordinary shares had been below US$1.00 per share for the preceding 30 consecutive business days.

In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company had been provided a 180-calendar-day compliance period, or until February 23, 2027, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's ordinary shares was required to be at least US$1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

On September 3, 2026, the Company received written notification from Nasdaq confirming that the Company had satisfied the minimum bid price requirement for the requisite period and had therefore regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Accordingly, Nasdaq has advised the Company that the matter is closed.
