Spiritrade is giving a second life to short shelf-life stock

To help brand owners during the pandemic, Spiritrade has added a new category on its platform dedicated to the listing of short and out-of-date stock.
The hospitality sector has been the hardest hit of all global industries. Since March 2020, many on-trade suppliers and venues in the UK have never managed to reopen to the point where most late-night venues are now facing the prospect of closing permanently unless significant fiscal support from the government is in place by the end of March.
As a result, many businesses are faced with the prospect of having to destroy large quantities of stock due to their consume-by dates having been reached or even passed.

ROME CITY â Rome City police officers will soon be equipped with body cameras, becoming the latest Noble County department to add the technology.
After waiting a month and getting one additional quote from a vendor, not much changed from February as Marshal Paul Hoffman suggested the town go with a system from WOLFCOM.
The WOLFCOM camera system was the cheapest of the three vendors Hoffman priced, and is well-known in the law enforcement field as the company provides cameras to more than 1,500 police agencies.

CAMDEN Restaurants operating in a pandemic have had to make enormous changes in order to stay afloat. Gabriela Acero and Derek Richard, a couple featured in our recent story “
wolfpeach, a new chophouse with a Maine twist, to open in Camden,” have reviewed their original restaurant plans under these circumstances. Their restaurant, wolfpeach, has not yet opened.
