A customer buying multiple Pederson’s products as well as trusting us to manufacture their own brand – Jack Gridley is a veteran of the meat business who is truly a visionary in the space! Grocers around the country keep a close eye on what Dorothy Lane Market is doing!
Fun fact: Jack once offered me the keys to his vehicle during a sales call so I could drive to Nashville and go see Stacy (My future wife).
