Retail Produce Manager Awards

Honoring the produce industry’s front line

Sponsored by

United Fresh Retail Produce Manager Awards Program pays special recognition to those on the front line in supermarkets working everyday to increase sales and consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. United Fresh is proud to extend the produce industry's thanks to supermarket produce managers nationwide.

While only a few of the many thousands of produce managers across the country can be recognized through this program, United Fresh salutes every produce manager working on the front lines of our industry to promote the sale of fresh fruits and vegetables and the better health of their customers. This program honors all of their efforts, and serves to promote role models of excellence across our industry.

Winners were honored at the United Fresh, Las Vegas 2008 show, May 5-7. The 2008 Retail Produce Manager Award program was proudly sponsored by Ready Pac Foods, Inc.
