Join Chris and Angela at The Buyer’s Desk as we celebrate the vibrance and variance of our community and the communities of our members. Jim Olson, SPINS gets things going with data insights around BIPOC-owned brands, customer values, and sales trends between the two. Angela is then joined by Earnest Flowers, founder and owner of Earnest Foods to discuss his origin story in recognizing a community need for a grocery store and stepping up to meet it. In our retail talk, INFRA’s Kim Route, Category Manager, and Nina Brown, Marketing Manager, bring store-level and data perspectives to BIPOC-owned brands in INFRA stores and the community benefits of inclusivity. Last but certainly not least, Chris is joined by Ibraheem Basir, founder and CEO of A Dozen Cousins to talk his brand’s story, Ibraheem’s inspirations, and strategies for balancing high-quality products with accessibility.
