Peregrine Market Access, Which Deals With Pharmaceutical Issues, Opens Local Office

By Susan E. Campbell

Whenever people take medicine, there is a chance there was an influencer behind the scenes who worked to make the drug available to insured patients and at the “right” price.

Peregrine Market Access is such an influencer, an international consulting firm that recently opened an office in Saratoga Springs and made it the new headquarters.

The field of pharmaceutical market access ensures that patients have rapid and sustained access to a brand of drug by advocating for that product and recommending a price at which insurers, confident of the patient’s improved health outcome, will pay for it.

For the first time in history, the New York Racing Association Inc. (NYRA) generated more than $700 million in all-sources handle during the 2019 meet at Saratoga Race Course, which was conducted over a five-day race week and included the cancellation of a full Saturday card of racing.

NYRA officials said Wagering from all-sources totaled $705,343,949 an increase of more than $46 million, or 7 percent, over last year when racing was conducted for the full 40 days during a six-day week. This year’s handle eclipsed the previous record set in 2017 by nearly $29 million or 4.2 percent.

The milestone record was achieved despite the cancellation of a full racing card on the second Saturday of the season due to extreme heat, in addition to the cancellation of the final seven races on July 25 due to severe storms.

Ravenous Restaurant Will Celebrate 20th Year With Special Events Through October

Ravenous Restaurant will celebrate 20 years at 21 Phila St. in downtown Saratoga Springs in October.

The company said a month-long celebration will begin Oct. 1. The restaurant serves dishes like savory crepes and pommes frites and poutine.

Ravenous began on Phila Street when the mother-and-son team of Tina Laino and Francesco D’Amico, along with Francesco’s future wife, Lauren Wickizer, first opened the creperie store doors in 1999. Moving from Seattle and looking for a change and completely new, the trio made the decision to enter the hospitality business full time.

“When we arrived in 1998, there were really just a handful of mom-and-pop restaurants in town,” said Wickizer. “Hattie’s was here. Scallions, Sperry’s, Little India, Chianti’s, Wheatfield’s and Beverly’s, but not much more than that. It was a whole different world. The parking lot across from Ravenous wasn’t even there yet. It was just a small dirt lot.”

If Amanda VanPelt had not stopped into a small Canandaigua shop last summer, she may not be exactly where she is today.

VanPelt found herself at a crossroads in her career. It was a visit to an engraving shop, along with some good business sense, that took her in an unexpected direction.

It led to her opening Saratoga Custom Engraving at 81 Railroad Place in Saratoga Springs.

VanPelt said last year she received news that there would be layoffs in the department in an insurance company she was working for. She made the decision to walk away from the company and make a change.

“I likely could have taken another position within the company that I had been working at for 13 years, but I wanted to explore other opportunities.  I wanted to be my own boss and do something I was passionate about,” said VanPelt.

Ashley Arpey opened Infinite Beautique at 167 Saratoga Ave. in Mechanicville. The shop offers facials, chemical peels, body waxing, spray tans, eyelash enhancements and other services.

By Jill Nagy

“It’s a beauty bar, a spa, and a boutique all in one,” said Ashley Arpey, owner of Endless Infinite Beautique at 167 Saratoga Ave. in Mechanicville.

“There’s a need for that” in Mechanicville, her home town, she added.

Arpey had been a stay-at-home mom since 2009 when her son, Hunter, was born. Then she decided,“it was time to find my passion,” which, it turned out, was opening her own business. “I’ve always wanted to open a business. I just didn’t know when or how.”

Torn between a spa and a clothing and lifestyle boutique, she decided to combine the two. She completed a 10-month course at the Aesthetic Science Institute in Latham, passed the necessary state licensing exams, and found an appropriate location.
