Stew Leonard’s CEO: Fingers Crossed, All This Tariff Thing Will Work Out

EXCERPT:

LEONARD: “That’s a beautiful. That’s one of our best things. Now, you know what? That’s a dollar a pound less right now. And because of NAFTA, we’re not tariffed on salmon. And the other thing that’s a biggie from Mexico is these avocados. We’re not tariffed on that either. So, these prices are remaining pretty constant right there. The problem we’re worried about is this right here, which everybody loves. It’s tequila. You know, it’s a hot, it’s a growing trend. More and more people are drinking it. And that a lot of our suppliers have brought in stateside free tariff. So, we don’t expect any problems from the wines from Europe as far as tequila, as far as tariffs goes until next month. You know, like all retailers, we have our fingers crossed that this tariff thing will be worked out.”
