Snack items earn top billing in companywide vote across 15 categories
Snack foods starred among the winning products in Albertsons Cos. first Own Brands Associate Choice Awards.
The inaugural contest asked thousands of associates to vote for their favorite Albertsons Cos.-brand products in 15 categories during the Boise, Idaho-based grocer’s January Own Brands “Best for Less” campaign. The top overall vote-getter, as the “Favorite New 2020 Own Brands Product,” was Signature Reserve dark chocolate sea salt caramels, Albertsons announced yesterday.
“We’re proud of the quality and value of all our Own Brands products, but we were especially interested to learn which products our associates love the most,” Chad Coester, senior vice president of Own Brands at Albertsons Cos., said in a statement. “These are the products they are fanatical about and most proudly recommend to shoppers.”
Michael Dorety was a retired 68-year-old Dallas firefighter who had the long-standing mental habit of calculating catastrophes, the better to avoid them. He sat by exit doors. He refused to book 11th-floor hotel rooms, because engine ladders only reached 10. He taught his kids to avoid escalators, which could snag shoelaces.
Yet Dorety showed no alarm when he and his wife, Susan, climbed aboard the Grand Princess cruise ship at Pier 27 in San Francisco on Friday, Feb. 21, joining some 2,500 passengers and 1,100 crew members. It was supposed to be a 15-day cruise to Hawaii, with a brief stop in Ensenada.
The Texas couple had crossed the oceans on dozens of cruises, and this trip was meant to celebrate their 40th anniversary.
