Glory Days Grill Honors 6 Vendors of the Year for Exemplary Service

For the past twenty-one years, Glory Days Grill has recognized excellence in business partnerships by selecting ‘Vendors of the Year’ every Spring. Partners are selected based on service excellence and support in the previous year. In 2020, these awards meant more than ever due to the challenges faced by the country, food service industry, and Glory Days Grill amidst the strain of the COVID-19 global pandemic. The stress on our communities, our business and our employees was unprecedented, and so many of our vendors stepped up to face those challenges with us. Although we are grateful for every one of our partners for their support this past year, the following vendors exceeded all expectations.

Glory Days Grill has selected six vendors for their outstanding support and commitment to quality, including three first-time winners. The winning Vendors of the Year for 2020 are as follows: Capital Seaboard; Digitec Solutions, Inc.; Nards Entertainment; Stevens Food Group; US Foods; and Zero Hour Health Medical. Recipients will be honored at a later date.
