Presented NW Cherry and Apricot program for 2009 to Dave Thomas category buyer at Buzzuto's. Dave is hearing from his supplier that the cherries will be late maybe close for the July 4th Ad. He didn't expect a real good ad lid to promote because he thought if this was the first week the price will be high. I explained that if mother nature warms up the NW cherry growing area that may change the time-line. I told him, we would send him updates as things progress. They are pumped up to promote. He said, sales were lagging slightly and cherries would sure help the dollar ring. He felt the economy was impacting impulse spending in produce. Dave will promote our apricots but will not purchase any NW peaches, necterines, or pruune plums because of their commitment to California and New Jersey fruit.
