Meet Beth McIntyre and Tracy Panase

Hi! We are two friends and two mom's who are thrilled to bring JBF to Reading!  Here's a little bit about us...


Our families...
Beth is the proud mom of Sam (9), Annie (7) and Charlie (4).  We actually met and became friends through our children...Sam and Tracy's daughter Caitlyn, also 9, were in the same kindergarten class.  Tracy has an older son, Cameron who is 12.  Our kids are busy and keep us on the run...dance, football, gymnastics, basketball, and the list goes on!

Beth is married to Scott who always finds a way to make her laugh!  Tracy is also married to her husband John who has been her partner in business and life.  Both families share a love of all things related to sports - the Phillies, the Eagles, and Penn State.  We're all a little crazy when it comes to our hometown heros!


Why JBF?


We think JBF just makes sense on so many levels.  Professionally,  Beth has always wanted to own a consignment shop. Tracy has spent the past 10 involved in the franchise community and learning about JBF was like a lightening flash. 


Personally, as mom's who invest a great deal in our kids, we appreciate what it takes to raise a family.  So many of our children's items (clothing, toys, books, furniture, and so on) have lasting value long after they are able to wear or enjoy them.  JBF is recycling at its best!  Plus, who doesn't want to find cash in their closets?

The success of our first sale in Reading, lead us to purchase an additional territory which covers the Western Mainline (Northern Chester and Montgomery Counties).  We are excited to advance the benefits of JBF to families throughout the Delaware Valley!

Our Experience...
Beth is a graduate of Penn State and spent the bulk of her career in retail. Her last job (before becoming a full-time mommy) was working for a company that sold wire and cable.  She loves the customer service aspect of JBF and helping others.   Tracy has always been in some form of sales and marketing since graduating from Bowling Green State University.  For the past 10 years, she and her husband have owned and operated retail locations of another national franchise called Cookies by Design (Exton and Huntingdon Valley, PA).  Both Tracy and Beth were thoroughly impressed with all facets of JBF and knew this was a great opportunity for them and our community.
Our Goals... 
We hope that both the Reading community and Western Mainline areas benefit from two great JBF sales events.  Our goals is that JBF is more than an acroynm in the Delaware Valley.  In five years...we want JBF to be a household name making it the most anticipated event in Berks and beyond!
