Businesses are prepping for the possible impact of tariffs - even as a 90 day extension allows for more time for planning. Our founder, Ashley Thompson recently spoke with Forbes on how she is reducing price impact for MUSH consumers as production costs rise, in order to keep healthy food options accessible. "She has a real manufacturing edge,” says Quincy Fennebresque, an investor, who notes that most of MUSH's key competitors are more expensive or lower quality. “Ashley will be able to handle [tariffs] better than any competitor. Ashley focuses on cost more than anyone. She’s never taken the easy way out.” Read more in the following link: https://lnkd.in/gZrv9yX3 #CPG #Forbes #WomanOwned
