Co-Founder of Grassroots Natural Market Shares 5 Emerging Brands to Watch
We recently had the opportunity to sit down and chat with James Robison, one of the co-founders of Grassroots Natural Market. One of our favorite aspects of local grocers is that they always seem to know all the best brands before they’re mainstream. We dove a little deeper with James and asked him to share five emerging brands that he recommends checking out!
TELL US…
Q: What’s your favorite wrap at Grassroots?
A: The Curry Chicken
Q: Best selling item in your store?
A: It’s boring stuff like eggs and bottled water, honestly!
Q: Where can we find you when not in store?
A: I also work for a brokerage, so I’m on the road a lot. There are nine of us that cover the southeast. We sell natural products; it’s cool gig since I am retailer but also sell to other retailers within the space.
Q: Favorite spot to eat in Jax?
A: Palm Valley Fish Camp
Q: Best advice to #undotheordinary?
A: Take an intentionally different route: literally turn left instead of always turning right, or just consciously choose the opposite of your knee-jerk reaction and see what happens next. You’ll often be surprised with the results and at the very least you’ll build new neural connections from being exposed to something new.
