Kristen Abreu, our VP of Customer Development, joined her fellow National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) Retail Advisory Board members in Dallas for the annual Market Immersion program. We were happy to welcome them to our CROSSMARK office for a lunch break during their busy day of store visits. It was a fantastic opportunity to strengthen partnerships and exchange ideas. Thanks to Stephen Perlowski for organizing and to everyone who joined us for great conversation!

Celebrating our W.O.W. Champion Award winners, recognized by Acosta Group! You all went above and beyond last quarter, solving problems and making an incredible impact for your teams. Congratulations to this amazing group! 

Over 10 weeks, six incredible interns joined CROSSMARK—and they made a real impact. They worked across sales analytics, strategic planning, and business insights, built skills with tools like CROSSMARK Accelerator and #GenAI, and even hit the field for retail visits. They also connected with our teams through coffee chats, team lunches, and in-store collaborations—immersing themselves in the work and our culture. VP/GM Sonia Hack noted: “What impressed me most was the interns’ ability to approach complex business challenges with fresh eyes and genuine curiosity. Their work wasn’t theoretical or task-oriented—it was meaningful, hands-on, and drove real business outcomes." Here’s what a couple of our interns had to say: Troy Evans: “I gained hands-on experience in the CPG industry and learned from an incredible team. This experience has given me valuable insight into how products move from concept to shelf.” Morgan Paez: “I’ve strengthened my skills in data analysis, storytelling, and cross-functional collaboration. The culture at CROSSMARK has made this experience especially meaningful.” We’re proud of what they accomplished—and excited to see what's next for them! #CROSSMARK #EarlyCareers #CPG #DiscoverYourPath

At our 9th annual summit with Associated Wholesale Grocers, we gave our client partners direct access to AWG’s executive leadership—including CEO Dan Funk—for two days packed with focused meetings, honest conversations, and valuable connections. Thanks to Dan and the entire AWG team for sharing where the business is today, what's ahead and how we can keep growing together. Ann Weinhardt, Al Hadley and the CROSSMARK AWG team did great work bringing this event to life. We're proud to keep this annual tradition going to help our clients succeed.
