Happy Birthday, Harmons!
Happy Birthday to my favorite local grocer: Harmons. Family-owned and locally run since 1932, Harmons turns 90 this month. The grocery chain started with humble beginnings as a fruit stand selling 2 cups of strawberries for 15 cents and a pound of Utah peas for 5 cents back in 1932.
Here’s what the good folks at Harmons have to say about their mission and the idea that “food is our common bond.”
“At Harmons, we believe that diversity is essential to our communities and we are saddened by events that have resulted in the loss of life. We strive to be a part of the kindness, understanding, and equality that we believe will change our world for the better. Diversity is what makes food unique, delicious, and wholesome. We believe this is also true of any community, state, nation, or country. We encourage diversity within our company and will continue to do so, striving to exhibit kindness, empathy, inclusion, and equality. We intend to be a part of the change for the better and encourage all associates to truly listen with the intent to the experiences and viewpoints of others. Working together, we believe our world will change for the better.”
