It's All About Mom
Any idea what day of the year has the largest flower sales, is the busiest day for telephone calls and is the most popular day of the year to dine out? According to companies that track these kinds of things, it is Mothers’ Day!
In the United States, Mothers’ Day was originally conceived by social activist Julia Ward Howe during the American Civil War, with a call to unite women against war. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson declared the first national Mothers’ Day, which has been celebrated on the second Sunday of May in the United States ever since. Full Story.
Mothers' Day Purse Sale I recently loaned one of my favorite hand bags to my daughter to use for a wedding she was attending. It was a small, shimmery black clutch that I purchased in the gift department here at Kowalski’s. She called me the next day to tell me how much fun she had telling her friends that it had come from a grocery store when they complimented her on the bag! Full Story.

The Salmon Are Running
It’s that time of year again when fresh salmon from the Copper River in Alaska begins to arrive in our markets. It is one of our most highly-anticipated products, and the news of its arrival spreads quickly. We have established a great working relationship over the past few years with Mike Poole and Michelle LaFriniere who fish in Prince William Sound and the Copper River. Mike and Michelle direct market their catch, which allows them to catch and process the salmon immediately on board their boat and send it to Kowalski’s the next day. What this means for our customers is Copper River Salmon that is five to seven days fresher than anywhere else, guaranteed. Full Story.
