DATE: May 1, 2022

Happy May! The month of Cinco de Mayo and hopefully the proper beginning of spring for us! Not too many new things coming in for the beginning of May, but the June warehouse notes will be jam-packed with exciting new products in time for summer!

I am really pleased that the Jell-O candies are finally available. I’ve been waiting patiently for the pudding cups ever since I saw the announcement about them way back in December.

I was hopeful that price increases would be slowing down as we head into summer, but it looks like that won’t be the case this year. I’ve received notification of several already. I think it’s just the way of the world now.

On a similar note, shipping and packaging continue to be strained. As you can tell from the supplier out of stock list, there is still quite a shortage of items that have plastic components. Honestly, I don’t see most of that changing anytime soon. I think shipping will slowly ease, but production and raw materials acquisition for our suppliers are an ongoing issue. I will do my best to communicate with you about these issues as we move into the summer.

Let’s end on a positive note – the weather is getting nicer by the day and we’re going to see a lot of exciting new products in the warehouse and in your stores in the coming weeks. Everything is looking up.
