If you happened to be in Vine Ripe at about 11am on August 24th, you undoubtedly witnessed something quite out of the ordinary: Two tour buses full of business professionals poured into the store, bedecked in conference badges and snapping pics like it was going out of style...

It was a bit hectic for a few moments, but the fact that they were here is a huge, ENORMOUS compliment.  The national convention, known as the Multicultural Retail 360 Summit, or MR360, is an annual conference for retailers across the nation who have a multicultural customer base.  It's held in a different city every year, and each year they tour 4-5 multicultural retail businesses that are unique, or stand out in some way in the host city. THEY PICKED US!!!

It was a huge honor to have them, and we had fun answering their questions, and tickling their tastebuds with a few of our house specialties.

For those of you who were here at the time, we really hope it wasn't too overwhelming!
