Some of the areas most popular companies gathered at the Winn-Dixie off San Jose Blvd. on Tuesday to present their products in front of a panel of judges with hopes of being featured in the Jacksonville-area Winn-Dixie stores.
Local suppliers US Culinary & Beverage LLC, Sweet Pete’s Candy, Fresh Jax and Hyppo Gourmet popsicles were some of the 24 vendors invited to participate in the two-day event.
Similar to the popular TV show “Shark Tank,” each vendor was given 15 minutes to present their pitch and products before the panel. Judges quizzed the presenters about product cost, packaging and their marketing approach.
