"AGAR is a family business," said Karen Bressler, ceo, who will introduce her father during the Hall of Fame Awards presentation. "My father's vision guided Agar towards stability and growth. I am honored to continue the tradition of supplying area restaurants with high quality products and keeping AGAR on the cutting edge. My goal is to keep Agar at the forefront of the foodservice industry thru excellent service, offering top nationally-branded meat and grocery products, deep customer relationships and enthusiastic employees. It's thanks to Alan that we stand today as an industry leader."
