Frozen food brands in the mid-Atlantic: we have taken over the lease on a facility in Baltimore that boasts 5,000 square feet of frozen storage, and we'd like to serve as a resource for fellow frozen brands. We have a loading dock and can receive, pick and pack freight for you. Competitive rates as well (talk to me about a discount for the first month). Please get in touch so we can fill that freezer! Refrigerator space (2,000 square feet) will be available as well in a month. I can be reached at lane@afriendlybread.com. #frozenstorage #freezer #coldstorage

Congrats to Marvin Montague and Aleah Rae Montague for this coverage of their booming mushroom bacon business. Baltimore Business Journal interviewed and photographed A Friendly Bread as well, for this article about small food businesses pushing their capacity to the bursting limits in order to break through to the next stage. Working joyfully and doggedly alongside Meat the Mushroom at B-More Kitchen , I can confirm that both of our businesses are squeezing every last drop of productivity out of that space before our next chapters begin.

We will soon be rolling out our latest packaging update. We have heard some important critiques from retailers and shoppers, and we hope to have solved those: -no more cursive- was too hard to read as you quickly walk by -no more white writing - it faded into the photo behind it too much - again making it too hard to read or notice -the callouts were being covered up by the display box that the product was sitting in- so we moved them up higher on the package -added new language about refrigeration- did you know you can keep the sandwich in the fridge for 30 days? We did a shelf life test! -our lab tests revealed a different nutritional panel from what we had originally estimated through running our recipes through a calculator. So you’ll see lower calories, lower fat and lower sodium on the nutritional panel than on previous packaging.

Starting this month, A Friendly Bread is trying a new (yet completely traditional) way of reaching customers for our frozen Sourdough Grilled Cheese. I observed that older adults (often single or windowed) are a core demographic - both to feed themselves and to stock up for their grandkids. So I pinpointed some areas with 1) a density of stores carrying our product, and 2) retirement communities with robust print newsletters, and placed ads in those newsletters. These retirement communities have large readership (5,000 or more), and I want to see if these ads help me increase sales in these specific store locations. If it works in the three communities where I am trying this, I will expand the campaign. I just don't think these target customers are going to watch my IG reels - but I do think they are reading about their friends' Philosophy Club (pg. 16) or the building wing coordinator on their floor (pg. 43). So my ad on pg. 36 may do the trick. Stay tuned to see if it works! Thanks Lauren Rauseo for putting the ad together - Lauren worked with me as the designer 10 years ago when I created and edited the newsletter for a community of older adults that I organized myself when I worked in the non-profit sector. Nothing new under the sun. https://lnkd.in/eEH5E4zC
