quotesIt’s welcoming to see what other companies are doing. I’ve seen a lot of trends. . . a lot of global stuff. It gives our sales a chance to meet with everybody without having to travel. It’s just a real nice, central location to touch base with our customers and see what’s going on in the world of food. You have to be in person.
