Fabiano Brothers beer distributor joins the fight against human trafficking
Fabiano Brothers, a beer distributor based in Bay City, Mich., has joined NBWA's Distributors Against Human Trafficking initiative to fight human trafficking in their community. According to the governor's office, Michigan had more than 22,300 victims and survivors of human trafficking in 2019 alone. "We're educating our employees on what those red flag behaviors are. So if we know what the signs are we can see these human trafficking victims or red flags and help be a part of the solution," said Fabiano Brothers Director of Training and Corporate Development Tamra Henning.
Craft beer and golf bring together two disparate cultures
What's the best way to end a round of golf? A beer at the bar, of course! The only thing better than a pint would be a beer brewed on site, a rare but growing experience at U.S. golf courses. Together, golf and beer prove to be a 'hoppy' marriage. Michael Albert, COO of ShawneeCraft Brewing Company, which sits near the 18th green of a golf course in Pennsylvania, says that craft beer can connect people to golf as well as each other: "Golf is an example of one generation, and the brewery is an example of the next generation."
The Giant Company is working with Peapod Digital Labs to pilot automated micro-fulfillment technology. The robotic picking technology would be used at an e-commerce facility Giant is developing in Philadelphia. The rise in e-commerce, in addition to low-contact options like curbside pick-up or delivery, has made micro-fulfillment an important topic of discussion among grocery companies.
