Church Brothers is sponsoring the Technomics education session on Saturday, according to the release, which will present the “State of the Foodservice” report.
Customers are invited to the company’s annual Ranch Party, a private event, July 29, according to the release.
Church Brothers plans to feature value-added products and commodities at booth No. 1101, at the July 30 expo. The booth will showcase Chef Ready Bell Peppers, which have a longer shelf life and can be stored in cooler temperatures, according to the release.
