“One thing I like about Valley is they are independent like we are, it is a co-op so they know exactly what we are coming from. It is not a situation where they are always looking at what is best for them, they actually want to see what is best for us and that is why I enjoy it so much. They have some of the best people out there. They are always saying what can I do to help you Curt and I’m like this is amazing. And what else I like is the variety that they offer. If I’m looking for something special, they are always helping us get those items. As owner I can also take advantage of the points we earn by being a member of the co-op. The more I buy from Valley the more I get from them in regard to getting the best cost of goods plus also have some benefits of my own. What I like about the best cost is it helps me compete with the big boys and yet still make everything from scratch. I always tell people if you can go exclusively with Valley go ahead and do it. That’s what we do, and it is why we are so successful.”

Owning a grocery store takes a lot of hard work and to continue to run a scratch bakery in that store adds to the workload. Having a supplier who can help take some of the load off and be a true partner is key in making it all work.
