After their meeting with LMC employees, national Lumber Company treated LMC to a Jewish deli style lunch. The spread included pastrami sandwiches, spinach potato knishes, macaroni salad, black & white cookies and much more. The line that formed was a testament to the delicious food!
Patriarch Arnold Fruman stated, “Joining LMC has proven to be one of the wisest business decisions that we have made in our 103-year history. We are very proud to be members. Thanks to great business partners like LMC, National Lumber has continued to grow our business with their assistance”.
Commenting on the lunch selection, Neal Fruman said “We thought it would be fun to bring in food from a Jewish deli. In a lot of ways delis are similar to dealers in our industry: they are family-oriented, have lots of character, they are staples in their community, and those that work there are very passionate about what they do”.
“We are grateful to be members. We feel like providing the food at LMC lunch is the least we could do. We have a great partner, and we are very fortunate to be affiliated with LMC.” said Kevin Fruman on summarizing their visit.
