Love Your Produce Manager® Day (LYPM) is a day when Frieda’s Specialty Produce recognizes top produce managers and their teams from across the country. LYPM Day grabs attention every year, with many different organizations engaging online to celebrate their produce teams. Since solid execution in the produce department depends on a motivated and inspired in-store produce team, Frieda’s created the holiday in 2012 to recognize produce managers and the hard work they put into their departments to stay fresh, educate shoppers and increase sales.
“Making people feel valued individually can truly motivate your employees, and it’s even better when the entire store team feels like they are in it together,” says Karen Caplan, CEO and president of Frieda’s. “This helps to build camaraderie and strengthens performance across the entire team. That is why this year, for the first time ever, we are celebrating the whole produce team for LYPM Day.”
Frieda’s partnered with produce district specialists nationwide to nominate outstanding produce teams that go above and beyond in their department. “We used a panel of produce merchandising experts to select winners based on customer interactions, sales growth and upkeep of their department,” says Caplan.
The winners for LYPM Day 2019 include: Schnucks #188 in Ladue, St. Louis, MO; Kroger #533 in Shreveport, LA; Kroger #302 in Galveston, TX; Lowes Foods #224 in Raleigh, NC; and Ralphs #611 in Palm Springs, CA. Congratulations to the winners! The entire team at Frieda’s appreciates everything that you do.
Frieda’s encourages everyone to go on social media to share what you love about your favorite produce teams using the hashtag #LoveYourProduceManager. And if you’d like to send special recognition to your favorite produce team and tell your produce manager and their team how much you appreciate what they do every day, you can contact your account manager.
