Longo's Mimmo Franzone Wins February 2017 Snack Contest


Fri. March 3rd, 2017 - by Melissa De Leon Chavez

SACRAMENTO, CA - We just can’t help it–when we see an opportunity to challenge our produce cohorts we have to do so.

In our latest AndNowUKnow-powered contest, we asked you to spot our apple logo on the February issue of The Snack Magazine. Members raced to prove their spying skills and it was a tight race. Ultimately, though, it was Longo’s Director of Produce and Floral, Mimmo Franzone, that was first to make it into our inbox with a photo revealing the Easter egg.

‎"Always great to be part of what the ANUK team is doing for the industry. Their quizzes and challenges make for a perfect break into our busy days," Mimmo shared with me when hearing of the win. "Thanks for the prize, the funds will be donated to charity in hopes to help out the less fortunate."
