Monterey Mushrooms' Mike O'Brien Discusses the Company's Growth and Capacity for the Foodservice Industry
MONTEREY, CA - At this year’s PMA Foodservice conference in Monterey, CA, we joined Monterey Mushrooms' VP of Sales & Marketing Mike O’Brien to learn all about the company’s future plans for growth and penetration into the foodservice industry.
“We’re talking to a lot of new prospective customers with the increased consumption of mushrooms and the fact it's high in vitamin D and low and sodium. It’s also a healthy alternative to meat,” O’Brien tells me. “That’s causing a huge increase of consumption of mushrooms.”
