Weis salutes DSD vendors

Weis Markets’ senior team and store managers are recognizing their direct store delivery vendors for their strong support throughout the year, particularly during the holiday season with a chainwide "vendor appreciation week."

As part of the program, which kicked off Monday and runs through Dec. 12, Weis stores will provide free doughnuts, coffee and beverages to DSD vendors who service their stores, along with a holiday card signed by company chairman, president and CEO Jonathan Weis, other senior team members, and individual store managers and receivers.
