Said it before & I'll say it again "Relationships will return Huge Dividends ". Received a call from our Vendor stating he had these Plumogranates available and that they will be the best Eating Plum I would have this year. I said "I'll take them all" and they did not disappoint. The brix, crunch, flavor and juices were unbelievable. We sampled for our staff so they can tell the story to our guests and they all loved them. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing our Teams success and living - breathing the "Drop The leash" mentality with me.

🇺🇸Morning & Happy Memorial Day. 🇺🇸 Thank you to all Who Served and Continue to Serve & Protect us in our Armed Forces, Doctors, Nurses, and everything in between. 🇺🇸 Few snapshots📸 from our Team In Burlington SR NJ.

This is Why I do what I do! Cultivating relationships, working alongside suppliers, being there for them when their on point and also when they are long with items. The point is simple "Relationships" tried & true will always produce the best results. The first bin Eastern melons did not disappoint and the 2 3/4 Titan Southern Peaches are full of color. Our vendors, suppliers, and growers are never taken for granted and always provide us with the best of the best. "Creating the Experience that Leads to Transactions " Special thanks to all the Logistics Team's out there that continue to keep us moving. #droptheleash #farmers

Huge shout out to Robert Alber and Team Burlington for the awesome build. Had a "🔥Hot Buy" on Roma's, 🍅Tov's, Flavor Bombs💣, Heirlooms, and much much more from Raul De La Piedra. Sooooo awesome to see my vision brought to life by amazing Artisans that buy into the mentality of "Dropping the Leash".

Fresh Cuts will be front & center today & tomorrow. Everybody ready? A Few Key Factors to a successful Cut program: * Select Ripe/ Ready to eat Fruit (no one likes the Honeydew that tastes like a Cucumber) * Never break the "Cold Chain" - 41° and below * Processing in Bulk Bins for easy assembly. * Proper Schedule ( Dedicated hours to Cut program separate of Floor Operations) * Passion & Creativity If you want the results of the picture on the left - ya need to do the right picture. "Creating the Experience that Leads to Transactions" Have an amazing day everyone & a Blessed Easter BTW - say it with me ! #DROPTHELEASH
