How it started ➡️ How it’s going:

In her current job at TheFreshMarket, #NCStateCALS alumna Jennifer Badger (JCBadgerr) is connecting #shoppers with products made close to home.

In her role, supply and demand is critical, especially during a global #pandemic. Like so many stores around the country, The Fresh Market experienced increased sales as shoppers stockpiled supplies.

Starting in January, it was vitamin supplements. As the #COVID19 pandemic continued, more shelf-stable items, like baking supplies, began flying off store shelves.

The #sales volumes we’ve experienced are about the same as what we see during a hurricane plus a holiday. It’s a huge surge of sales and the national supply chains have felt pressure. I'm so happy we have a #local program in place and have been able to fill those gaps. — Jennifer Badger
