Boca Raton resident Jan Stuart is a long-time entrepreneur, and he recently launched a new initiative to serve the needs of local businesses while also helping to employ students and seniors. Seniors and students pair up to solicit businesses to join Jansdeals.com, a Web site featuring discounts and special promotions that participating clients can edit in real time.

“Small businesses join the site for a sign-up fee of $199 that covers the entire year, and they can post their specials or discounts and also change or edit these posts from their own page,” said Stuart.

Instead of bulky coupon clippings, consumers simply log on to the site for free, check out deals and mention Jansdeals at the participating location.

“It’s a perfect venue for any small business looking to target consumers. Let’s say you have a restaurant and you want to offer free soup with any meal. You post it on the site, and if you happen to run out of the item, you can log on and remove or update that post immediately,” he said. For more information, visit www.Jansdeals.com
