"From the initial consults and planning of the design of the new space and equipment selection with Ryan and Tim, who are both sooo patient (I had just a few changes along the way, even to the day the plumber arrived and starting digging and we had to stop everyone in their tracks and make adjustments to the plan so quickly, they were both so wonderful about helping make it all work) and so knowledgeable too with each piece of equipment down to the lingo of the health department, which we passed just this week — yay!!!! To Chris and Andrea helping out oh so much with product selections and ordering, such a pleasant/awesome experience, especially at a time when there is so many decisions to be made, they both made it so easy, whatever they said, I knew I was in good hands and will be as we go forward. To delivery of the products, so cool having Kathy pull up so early in the am to arrive with my first shipment, thank you warehouse, everything was packed and labeled so perfect. To Dan, our fearless leader, who has helped me out every step of the way, from talks of the initial project and business planning (even when I wanted to give up when my plans were "rejected" once or twice by the boro) to the final menu concept and training — whoa, I have never felt so proud to be part of such an incredible team. So much so when students/customers ask me how all this happened (and they do all the time as they have seen this whole process unfold, literally as we had to tear down a block wall into our yoga room to connect the spaces), I just say to check out PFC/Simple Again — they make it so easy, ahhh, so simple, right?! This is what I hope to be just the beginning as I really dive into serving a community in such need/search of healthy offerings. If you ever come my way, and I hope you each do, you will see, we are really the only ones offering anything healthy in town, and the community is really responding. Just in the last few days, I have had such a great response from my students on all the new products we have sampled out and we are even getting thumbs up from those I have never met on the street as they saw signs of our grand opening. From this place, I am really feeling optimistic and excited, mostly because of the tremendous support from all of you and the amazing opportunity I have had to learn and grow with PFC over the last six years, which is so appreciated, more than words can say. So thank you to all of you, I really look forward to working with you all in new and different ways, especially marketing, I have such fun ideas coming your way! Please know you each play such an important part in helping out so many, beyond what you may see and hear, the ripples are being felt and I hope to continue to pass the message along in anyway I can!"

"We just wanted to say it has been a pleasure working with you and your team from start to finish on developing our Smoothie Bar! To be honest we called around and spoke to various vendors and simply got the run around. We then wanted to commit to a brand name like Dr. Smoothie, but even had a difficult time understanding how their product line worked for a family and friends gym like Navesink Fitness. We eventually connected with the right person at Dr. Smoothie who referred us to Performance Foods. If my memory serves me correctly you guys got an email from Dr. Smoothie and called us back that very same day! Chris called us back and went over our different options from constructing the Smoothie Bar from start to finish – even offering to basically be the General Contractor. However by this time we already had drawing available and begun talks with a local carpenter, electrician, and plumber. Even still your team was still readily available for consultations for Health Code Regulations, Signs, and Ingredients that were necessary for the top 10 sellers. We were new to the business of selling smoothies. You, nor your team ever once got frustrated with us even though we changed our minds a hundred times throughout the project. Your positive and reinforcing attitude helped us to continue to move forward with our goal. For that we thank you and look forward to doing more business with you in the future!"

"I am so VERY thankful that I decided to choose PFC for the re-vamping of our smoothie bar. I did my research and knew this was some of the best product out there — but what I didn’t expect was to be amazed by the customer service. Our Rep, Dottie has truly gone above and beyond to ensure I had exactly what I needed when I needed it. She has not only helped with my initial order, but has continued to answer any questions and assist in any way she could. It was very helpful to have EVERYTHING I needed to start our new system arrive in one day. The immediate downloads and simple (yet absolutely delicious) recipes were exactly what was needed to easily train the team and generate excitement around the club. Our members seem to approve of this decision as well — many times now we’ve heard “this tastes too good to be good for me.” The flavor profile of the shakes is wonderful and the smoothie of the month adds a bit of variety. I couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose PFC. Thank You for all of your help — I can’t wait to see what the future of our new smoothie bar holds! P.S. Do yourself a favor — try the Java Jolt (you can thank me later). Don’t like chocolate or coffee? Prefer something a little more tropical? Then go with the Hawaiian Harvest (you’re welcome)."
