Hey Weavers Way members,
I’m Josh, the new Chestnut Hill Produce Manager. You may have seen me working for the Co-op for the past three years at both the Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill stores, primarily in the Produce departments but also helping out on the floor and cashiering. I have worked in retail around 15 years, developing an understanding of product variety, quality, demand and supply from many small and localized suppliers.
Living a vegetarian lifestyle, I am really excited to have a vast array of seasonal fruits and vegetables available throughout the year. We will bring a lot of new amazing crops from some of our top-notch local businesses and farms, including our own farm. As a Germantown resident and block captain, I hope to showcase my passion for helping invest in our local economy and community — but that doesn’t mean we are going to cut out many of the international staples that bring you into our store. Expect to see a lot of involvement from the entire Produce team in the form of recommending items they use as well as recipes they personally back.
I invite you to come in and voice your questions and suggestions for the Produce Department. I look forward to seeing you in the Co-op!
Veg out.
Josh Magnitzky
