Training pays off: Heinen's Fine Foods earns seafood destination reputation

摘要

For seafood managers at Heinen's Fine Foods, a 17-store specialty grocery chain in Cleveland, at least one work day a year is, quite literally, a day at the beach. Capturing the fun atmosphere of a seafood meal is an important part of the company's bi-monthly trainings held for seafood managers and any other store employees who want to learn more about seafood, says Marty Gaul, Heinen's seafood buyer/merchandiser. So this summer, the clambake training will be an actual clambake held on the sandy shores of Lake Erie. Gaul will bring in suppliers to talk about the clams, and teach the seafood employees how to plan and prepare a clambake with all the fixings.
