I would like first to thank our crew for kicking ass this year and putting another great year in the books. Some fun numbers to give you an idea of the craziness behind the scenes.
13,853 lbs. Cheese cut and wrapped in the Cheese department.
Italian Cookies from the bakery, 3838 lbs.
2925 lbs. of Fresh Pasta.
4435 Cannolis
Olives by the pound 2991
4500 pounds of Fresh Roasted Coffee
10,000lbs. of Flour for Bread
34,570lbs. of prepared food in the Deli
1 Semi Truck full of Wine (about 20 pallets)
Even though the store is only open 9am to 6pm things were going on around the clock, bakers, meat cutters, chefs, warehouse men, and many others scurrying about at all hours to make your holiday foods. You never seem to have enough time or space during these times of the year, but things went really smooth and I think customers received faster service than ever before.
This is my first blog so you can expect more info about the store, new products, and anything about food and drink. The only thing I can promise is that my writing and grammar will not improve.
