The Top Women In Grocery (TWIG) is an award that recognizes some of the most influential women in the industry. All across the United States, hard-working and dedicated women put their best feet forward each day to ensure success with their business, co-workers and the retail space itself.

Happy Red Nose Day!

You've seen them. The bright red rubber and foam noses engulfing the faces of many to spark a smile and give back. Smiles are contagious, and these red beams of light have lifted spirits and spread the message in the U.S. since 2015.
We enter the 7th annual fundraising event, solely focused on child poverty and a path to a better future for children all across the World! But, what once was one full day of fundraising programs and entertainment is now extended throughout the year.
With the help of several major partners and vendors, Walgreens remains the exclusive retailer supplying the signature red noses. 100% of any donation goes toward the Red Nose Day Fund, and it's 2022 grantee partner, Children’s Health Fund. Even more, Walgreens will match any one-time donation up to $150K through May 26th, 2022.
SAS is proud to be a supporting partner for Walgreens! Help for children is needed in all shapes, sizes and locations. Visit a Walgreens near you and pick up you iconic red nose today!

We begin a new year, and with it comes the motivation to "be better", to "do better". We take what we learn from our previous and apply our own changes in order to improve ourselves. This is what is important. As unique individuals, "better" isn't the same for everyone, and while there are some universal truths, such as getting enough sleep, eating healthy, reducing stress, and moving your body, there are many diverse thoughts as to how to accomplish those things.

I grew up in very small town. So small, that I knew every first, middle and last name of every student in my graduating class. Mostly because I had grown up with the same classmates since kindergarten. It was a sort of community where change rarely happened, and when it did, an opinionated wave of uproar and rabble spread, regardless of the change's origin or intent.

Change is scary. But, change is also exciting. It affords new opportunities, a chance to take what you've learned and apply it more accurately: an avenue of correcting and/or perfecting previous performances. Change encourages us to grow and evolve. Sometimes, it delivers the avenue of growth we were not afforded.

Covid-19 turned the world on its head. We're defining new norms and what once made sense, is up for individual assumption and acceptance. Especially throughout the United States. The Real Estate market had an astronomical increase rate over the last two years with no signs of correction, pet shelters' inventory is at an all-time low (YAY!) and auto-lots are practically begging people to trade-in their vehicles; almost making non-classic cars an appreciating asset. Analysts are on a non-stop statistical hunt with our consumption and spending.
What about shopping trends within retail?

A wonderful thing happened this week.
On Tuesday, June 15th, 2021 the U.S. Senate passed a bill to make Juneteenth a Federal Holiday. It made its way to the House's steps and was overwhelming voted in-favor of recognition. Now, we move forward with June 19th being celebrated Nationwide.
