From small scale,
to big time
Gourmet Boutique celebrated its 20th
anniversary last September, recalling

was a small, locally-owned shop

"We determined there was a market for
upscale, freshly prepared foods to satisfy the consumer's needs," says Jere
L. Dudley, who has been with Gourmet
Boutique since its inception and now
serves as its vice president of sales. "We
offer that and we think we do it very
well and it has turned into a good business."
As it has grown, Gourmet Boutique has
retained the processes and techniques it
developed in its humble beginnings to
now provide major retailers across the
country.
