Congrats to our 2024 Great Wisconsin Bag-Off Best Bagger Paul from Sendik's Food Market!

Thank you for attending Kristin Popp! We are happy to hear you had a great time!

Congratulations to the 2024 Grocer of the Year Randy Munns from Festival Foods! Starting in 1991, Randy's journey through the merchandising channels culminated in his current role as Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the entire Skogen's Festival Foods Group in 2021. His leadership has been pivotal in expanding the Festival Foods Banner to 43 stores as of 2024. Randy's close collaboration with two generations of the Skogen family—Dave and Mark—has been a driving force behind this impressive expansion, reflecting his ability to foster long-term partnerships and steer the company toward continued success.
