We are excited to highlight another amazing business owner as part of our Women’s History Month Spotlight Series. Meet Julia McGovern, owner of Poppyseed Market!  www.poppyseedmkt.com Located in Raleigh, NC, Julia opened her business in 2006 after finishing culinary school and wanting to have a place where people could come to for really good food. “Fresh and simple but memorable and satisfying. Memorable, evoking that feeling of bringing you right back to where you were when you first tasted it. Nostalgia so to speak. 18 years later I think we have it down. People come in now and say how they grew up on our chicken salad or that it makes them happy to have one of our grilled pimento cheese sandwiches because it reminds them of their grandmother’s recipe. Same for all our salads we sell in our deli cases. Being born and bred in the south there’s also that thing of southern hospitality which is a dying form of art unfortunately, but we still have it here! We will yes ma’am and no sir you to death. Also, please and thank you, too. It is about treating people with kindness and making your food not just good but memorable.” #WHM #WEAREPBV #CUSTOMERSPOTLIGHT #DEIB

This month our spotlight series features amazing women in honor of Women’s History Month. We are starting off with Cindy Bayless, owner of Cindy’s Kitchen in Cambridge, MD. https://lnkd.in/gWu7ShiH 23 years ago, Cindy set out on her journey to offer great food at fair prices to her local community, creating a space where friends could gather for good food and great company. Throughout the years, she's not only built up her business but also taught her three daughters, who are now also working at Cindy’s Kitchen, living the values of hard work, teamwork, community, and giving back. #WHM #WEAREPBV #CUSTOMERSPOTLIGHT #DEIB

Our spotlight series this month celebrates Black History Month. Meet James Bazzelle, owner of Mert's Restaurant! https://lnkd.in/gbYs7aPm "My wife Renee and I opened Mert's Heart and Soul to showcase Southern and Low Country cuisine, A place where everyone can feel welcome whether you are a blue collar or white collar worker. Mert's has become generational, and one reason is because of the 25 years longevity. With that being said, I feel that we have a responsibility to maintain our mission of integrity, quality, service and community." #BHM2024 #WEAREPBV #customerspotlight
