Haggen's Laura Marquand and Brent Chambers

We're delighted to welcome as our guests this week produce manager Laura Marquand and produce sales manager Brent Chambers of Haggen Food & Pharmacy. Laura has been selected as one of the International Fresh Produce Association's 2023 Retail Produce Manager Awards Program honorees, so we talk with her and Brent about some of their 2022 highlights — including a major remodel and the implementation of computer-assisted ordering — along with how Laura got into produce, what she enjoys most about the work, how her influence goes beyond her own store, and much more. Enjoy!
