A great week for JENNY DOAN and Michael Hoeksema at Convenience Retailing University in Austin, where conversations with C Store operators centered on what’s next for foodservice, operational efficiency, and meeting guests where they are. Store walks added even more perspective on how these insights show up in real time. And a fun moment: seeing our Mexican Street Corn Shrimp on the menu at TXB Market as a Lenten feature. Love watching our bold flavors win in the convenience channel! #tampamaidfoods #foodservice #retail #cheflife #seafood #appetizers #cstore

Our Sales and Marketing team has been busy learning, collaborating, and getting hands on! We kicked things off with a deep dive inside our manufacturing facility to see firsthand how our high quality products come to life. Then we rolled up our sleeves and hit the bench to experiment, innovate, and create new product ideas of our own. A great blend of learning, teamwork, and innovation! #tampamaidfoods #foodservice #retail #cheflife #seafood #appetizers

Spent the day in our Innovation Kitchen with Candor Way and our Culinologist, Andrew Acey, capturing all the ways our new Jalapeño Fries and Chili Crisp Green Bean Fries can show up on menus. From heat and texture to global flavor cues and portability, these fries are built for what diners are craving and we had a blast showcasing their versatility on camera.
