In fact, it's the most popular brand in the Detroit area. So why are we changing the name to LINDSAY? Simply because over two years ago, the Mt.Whitney people joined with the world's largest ripe olive grower and packer, the Lindsay Ripe Olive people. And whenever you bought Mt. Whitney, you were actually buying the most popular brand in the whole country— Lindsay. So we finally decided to change the label. But not the quality. That will always stay the best. So please remember, the next time you're looking for Mt.Whitney, it's now spelled L -I-N-D - S -A-Y. .
