🚛✨Today we had an insightful business tour at Cusumano & Sons Produce Wholesaler with Rex Cusumano, representing 4 generations of family business since 1904! With 35 employees, this company thrives by having the right external team—bankers, accountants, attorneys, HVAC experts, and mechanics are key to their success.

In a business where timing is everything due to shelf life, their ability to pivot has been remarkable. The business has survived two structure fires, coming back stronger than before each time. During COVID, they adapted on the fly, offering produce bundles to keep employees working while meeting a community need.

Rex’s wisdom on flexibility: "There’s not too many situations you can’t turn into a positive. There’s always a way to do it if you want to." 💡

Recently Cusumano's added meats and proteins to their offerings, and soon they'll launch an online ordering system to further meet customer demands. Rex reminded our future entrepreneurs that even your competitors can become your customers—proof that adaptability and innovation are key! 🔑
