Beacon Theatre eyes nonprofit shift but vows to keep live shows
The president of the Beacon Theatre board of directors says while the status of the theater's operations might change to nonprofit, its mission of bringing entertainers to the Hopewell venue will remain the same. 'We're not losing our core base of live entertainment," BJ Patton told City Council at its meeting Tuesday, Oct. 27. "I think there may have been some concerns that were thinking about letting go of live entertainment, which is not true. I mean, the Beacon Theatre is a jewel in the city. It brings in a lot of economic development." Those comments were the latest and to date the most extensive public statements about the future of the 98-year-old red-brick structure that stands at a major focal point in downtown Hopewell. Its operations have been the topic of social-media criticism since council announced it would appoint a board to oversee the transfer to nonprofit status, with some claiming council was trying to exert too much influence over what happens at the theater.

Sauer Brands rebrands to honor iconic mayonnaise
A longtime Central Virginia food production company has rebranded itself in honor of its most well-known products. In a statement Monday, Oct. 26, Richmond-based Sauer Brands Inc. announced its name, effective immediately, will be Duke's Mayo Company, reflecting the company's most popular condiment. Company officials changed the name after the recent selloff of its spice business, a product the company had made since it was started 139 years ago. “Duke’s Mayo Company is a name that says plainly what this company is about, which is a dedication to flavor and scaling high-growth condiments,” Duke's Mayo CEO Yuri Hermida said in the statement. “Chefs, operators and families choose our brands for their exceptional taste and high-quality ingredients.

In 2020, the company changed from C.F. Sauer Co. to Sauer Brands. Sauer Brands began manufacturing Duke's Mayonnaise in 1929, buying out the business and recipe from original creator Eugenia Duke, who began it 12 years earlier at her restaurant in Greenville, South Carolina. For years, it was created at the
