Anticipation for the sequel to Disney’s modern animated classic Frozen is at an all-time high. Following the next movie release, kids will be once again be belting out the verses of “Let it Go” or “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?”. Fans young of age and of heart will be clambering for the wave of exciting new Frozen toys and merchandise that will inevitably wash over the marketplace. And rightfully so! When it comes down to it, who can resist the loveable charms of Olaf or the heroic spirit of Anna?

What no one can resist is the smile on the face of a child when they get to bring home an aspect of a story that has inspired them to embrace their own voice; the magic of their own personality. When the first film released, we at Jasco Products were excited to be able to release a unique lineup of items officially licensed by Disney. And with the sequel just around the corner we are very proud to introduce our brand new Frozen II night lights!

We are proud to announce a new line of Honeywell-branded Under Cabinet Lighting. Each product comes with a limited-lifetime warranty to provide peace of mind. Ideal for under cabinets and over cabinet lighting, this line of products uses long-lasting, energy efficient LED technology to eliminate the need for replacement bulbs. New product offerings now include premium LED light fixtures and accent lighting featuring linkable, dimmable, and flexible installation of stylish and modern lighting options. 

 

We're pleased to announce that Jasco recently increased the minimum hourly wage from $13 to $15. This starting pay more than doubles the current federal and state of Oklahoma minimum wage of $7.25. 

In addition to the starting pay of $15 per hour, a monthly profit-sharing program is offered to all team members, which averages around 15 percent additional pay each month. With the profit-sharing program and the increased wage, this typically translates to a starting wage of $17.25 per hour. 

If you’re one of the 33 million cord-cutters and you rely on a TV antenna for local programming, or if you simply use an antenna as a backup for potential cable or satellite outages, then you should plan to rescan. Antenna users typically have access to more than 30 free over-the-air channels. Larger metro areas could have up to 100!

As channels change frequencies or are added to the airwaves, a quick channel scan can easily capture those updates and keep you from missing out on the best in free TV.

Although summer brings with it exciting adventures, time with family and friends and more, it also brings thunderstorms. Nothing can ruin a great day outside like a thunderstorm, especially if lightning is involved. That is why the National Weather Service conducts an annual campaign called Lightning Safety Week that has run through the first week of summer every year since 2001. The goal of Lightning Safety Week is to bring awareness to one of the most frequent, yet underrated, storm-related killers — lightning.

Each day of Lightning Safety Week shines a light on a different aspect of lightning safety. Knowledge is power, and a greater understanding of what lightning is and why it is so dangerous is key to protecting yourself and your home against it.
