New Seasons Market is a specialty grocer that focuses on well sourced, quality foods with a focus on local providers whenever possible. Building trust in their stores is job one. Lori Hunter is the local founder for New Seasons, who not only sources local foods, but also puts on events for the company. Formerly with Williams-Sonoma, Lori not only has a palette, but an eye for the kitchen and what an ideal one should be. She has spotted many now-successful food products, such as Jacobsen Salt, and has been a big part of making them successful through promotion at New Seasons. Lori tries to eliminate all obstacles to startup founders, and if you have a food idea you think is hot, you can fill out a simple online form and drop your product off at headquarters. Lori always meets the entrepreneurs face to face and goes to their company to really understand their dream. Trusting the New Seasons brand means trusting Lori, and that is an easy thing to do.
