Vendor Spotlight: Amy Pitcher

River Street Gourmet is owned and operated by a husband and wife team. Amy is an active duty KC-135 pilot in the USAF and Shane is a stay at home dad and does most of the business management.

Our favorite thing about having our gourmet food store is of course the tasting! We can't wait to try new mixes. It becomes a family taste test night and we get everyone involved to decide if our product is worthy to carry our brand name.

We pride ourselves in customer service and enjoy our interactions with our customers. One of our customers requested a specialized baby shower gift to go along with her "monkey" theme and we came up with our Funky Monkey Banana Bread mix. We pride ourselves in wonderful customer service and have since 2002!
