Celebrating Juneteenth!
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, and Liberation Day – is a holiday celebrating the freedom of those enslaved in the United States. The date commemorates the June 19, 1865 announcement that brought slavery to its true and actual end, two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was enacted.
To underscore its historical importance across our nation, Juneteenth was established as a national holiday in 2021. Families and communities will celebrate with parades, private gatherings, art exhibits, traditional dance, church services, and the like. We too, pay homage and reflect on the significance of this date that represents the beginning of a journey for Black Americans. In remembering this moment in history, we gain hope and courage to stand against what we’ve seen in recent days, as the pervasive threats against Black communities, their freedom and equality.
We not only honor this day, we put the spirit of freedom and equality into action all year long when we connect with our communities and partner with them for the advancement of economic growth, among many other efforts. One tangible example is our long standing partnership with Black owned and Black founded businesses. In helping to amplify their reach and visibility in the marketplace, we are just one part of their mission to grow safe and thriving companies, communities and families.
As we reflect on the meaning of this day, we encourage our teammates and guests to do the same. Join us as we continue practicing and ever improving our culture of diversity and inclusion and equitable community partnership.

Nick's Ice Cream: What The Fjord Is Swedish-Style Ice Cream?
Diet and delicious? It’s an impossibility, a paradox, just plain nonsense! No, it’s actually just Swedish. Yeah, that tiny country where everyone’s six feet tall, blonde, and beautiful. Oh, forgot to mention they’re geniuses too. Because they’ve invented the world’s first light ice cream that actually tastes just like ice cream.
Okay, let’s break down just how genius these Swedes are. Most light ice creams just remove all the fat from the cream and replace it with water. That’s why you get super icy diet ice creams and as the water eventually evaporates, the pint shrinks into a hard frozen brick. Not yummy. Nick’s Swedish-style just uses a different type of plant-based fat that’s way lighter than traditional milkfat. So it retains all the creaminess of traditional ice cream and you would never know it’s better-for-you.
How much better for you? Most traditional ice creams are 1000+ calories per pint. You can get a pint of Nick’s with only 220 calories in the whole pint. Yeah, that’s less than 60 calories per serving. Can you eat a whole pint of ice cream in one sitting? Yes! Should you? Um.
So, if they’re that much lighter they must only have like, Strawberry and Vanilla, right? Wrong. They have like 30+ flavors with huge honkin’ chunks. Swedish Munchies has cookie dough and brownies! Bottom line, you can indulge in creamy rich ice creams that are super light and better for you, without wanting to curl up in a ball afterward.

Mimosas are always a winner. How about some Melon Sangria? If you’re looking for non-alcoholic options, this Polynesian Cooler or Citrus-Basil Spritzer are great. For food, scones like these Cheddar-Rosemary Scones or Maple-Brown Butter & Thyme Cream Scones hit the spot.

Celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. We honor this time and space set aside to intentionally recognize and elevate those in the AAPI community. AAPI contributions to our businesses, educational institutions, agriculture, art, food, music and many other arenas, are innumerable. Many know that the origins of the Asian American and Pacific Islander people can be traced back through many millennia. In all that time, AAPI peoples have been inserting innovations, discoveries and teachings into global communities. They have influenced cultures and beliefs in powerful ways.
This year, we choose the theme of Advancing Leaders Through Collaboration to highlight present and past AAPI leaders and businesses. Through collaboration we gain from the unique perspectives and lived experiences in our workplaces and beyond. We draw attention to the need to deliberately foster AAPI community members. Make efforts to augment their existing talents with opportunities to grow, learn, teach and lead. In seeking out the contributions of AAPI individuals and organizations, we broaden and enrich the experiences of us all.
We believe that partnering with AAPI owned and led businesses is just one more way to advance this community. The many brands and products that we deliver to our guests bring diversity, authenticity, and quite literally, flavor to their lives. Through economic collaboration our diversity, equity and inclusion values are seen and felt in very practical ways. We will continue to seek business partnerships and goods from women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQIA community.
In recent years, the AAPI community has battled an increase in sentiments of xenophobia, and even acts of violence. We stand against prejudices, hatred and violence, not just during this month of recognition, but always. When any one segment of our local or global community is persecuted, we are collectively affected.
