Corner Market vice president of fresh Price Mabry is back for more! Price, who was on the podcast just a few weeks ago with his award-winning produce manager Tyler Doggett, returned to take us on a behind-the-scenes tour of the company's newest store before its grand opening. Along the way, he and podcast host Ashley Nickle talked vendor partners, programs, assortment, employee engagement and more. Price also discusses growing up in the grocery industry, his career path through produce, and making the transition from leading produce to overseeing all of fresh. You can enjoy visuals from the tour by checking out this video on Ashley's LinkedIn. We hope the conversation is as much fun for you as it was for us!
