THANK YOU! — (Note #1 on “Ingles Upgrades”)

November 24, 2023

Dear Ingles Markets Executive,

Thank You! for chatting with me on November 22, 2023, about our upgraded system for managing bulk products in the Produce Department of Ingles Markets #53.

Our system allows us to maintain a higher standard for our bulk product display while saving about four hours of labor per week. Four hours is not much of a savings by itself. If, however, we were to save 4 hours at just $10.00 per hour for 52 weeks in 161 stores, we would save Ingles Markets one-third of a million dollars each year. That is something special for such a small corner of Ingles business.

You mentioned sending someone to check out our upgrades and savings. I look forward to meeting that person to discuss how we do it in Clemson and how we might scale our upgrades and savings company-wide.

G. Rouse, Jr.
