Not Your Grandma's Dessert Menu: How Millennials Are Creating A Need To Reinvent The Classics

Millennials – it's a generation that is quickly becoming the focus of every business's strategic plans and visions in industries spanning from technology to food and beverage. Representing over 77 million people in the United States, Millennials are changing the way businesses operate, market and sell.
