PRESS RELEASE

Albert’s has teamed up with the USA Pear Association to promote pears with two Albert’s pear-a-palooza contests.

Our pear-a-palooza contests aim to bring attention to the abundance of pears in the marketplace by working with the USA Pear Association to provide support materials like POS signs, recipes, and training

Our winners for our first contest included: Imperfect Produce from San Antonio, Texas; Northbound Organics from Minneapolis, Minnesota; Ever'mans Market from Pensacola, Florida and Greens Natural Market from Mt Kisco, New York.

Albert’s second pear-a-palooza contest runs 12/30/18 – 1/26/19 and is open to all Albert’s customers. There are two ways to win, either by largest increase in sales, year over year, or by creating the best pear display using POS materials provided by the USA Pear Association. Cash prizes are awarded in each category:1st place - $500, and 2nd place - $250.

Since 1982 Albert’s has delivered an extensive variety of fresh and organic produce and food options nationwide. It distributes more than 300 seasonal fruits and vegetables from local, regional, national and international sources. The company serves many different sales channels including conventional supermarket chains, natural product superstores, independent retailers, and food service.
