Mid-Atlantic
Weekly Newsletter / April 8, 2016
Four Seasons Produce Inc.
Our second wave is underway and due in at the end of next week (April 8th). This results in additional stocked opportunities!!
To better help you, a document is published to the Mid-Atlantic site to help keep you informed of items we are transitioning to Four Seasons or Taylor. In addition, we outlined all produce codes along with cut off times (keep in mind, this will be eliminated with stocked codes over time!!!). This can be found on the "Produce Cut Off Times" tab in the same document. We will continue to communicate as well as update the document as we continue to transition to Four Seasons and Taylor Farms. Each Four Seasons and Taylor item will be stocked not JIT, so communication of new business is critical to our success.
New Items in STOCK!!!

Long Inventory Blow Out
We are a bit long on inventory on these items. We are offering hot pricing on "long" cases to help stabilize inventory and avoid the dreaded and very expensive liquidation. Please note these items are not being discontinued.
Lets work together to ensure we do not liquidate. Please click on the link below to review all of the items we NEED your help on. The list reviews the items and the cases at risk.
Looking for Point of Sale? We have you covered!

New Item Requests
We have seen great success in the team using the New Item Request form!!
As a reminder, there are two ways to submit new item requests. First, the established spreadsheet is a valuable time-saver and is recommended when a CDS is submitting multiple new items in one sitting. Second, the new item form can be used to populate one new item at a time. I have included a link below for both resources. I would imagine you will become comfortable with one format and stick with that, it is totally up to you!
