Food City produce operations supervisor Skylar Leonard

Episode notes

We're delighted to welcome as our guest on this week's episode Skylar Leonard, produce operations supervisor for Food City. We last had Skylar on the show in 2023, when he was recognized as one of the best produce managers in the country as part of the International Fresh Produce Association's Retail Produce Manager Awards Program. In his return, we discuss how he made the transition from managing his own store, to doing that while assisting on special projects, to now overseeing produce operations for 12 stores. We discuss how he allocates his time across stores, what he looks for when he visits, how training he received years ago as a new produce manager and mentorship by his supervisor continues to pay dividends for him, the problem-solving aspect of the job that is needed when you're working in many different environments and with different people, holiday performance, unique SKUs, local TV appearances, and much more.
