The family also offers gift bas-
kets which can run into the hun-
dreds of dollars. Sometimes the
gifts are a bit different.
For instance, Mrs. Benson re-
calls a young man who wanted to
propose to his girlfriend by pre-
senting the engagement ring in
a wrapped basket filled with
sweets and snacks. Because of
the value of the diamond, Mrs.
"The advantage to
bulk is not the
buying in quantity."
— Marty Benson
Benson insisted that the man be
present while staffmembers put
everything together.
Also unusual was the woman
who came in with a negligee and
asked that it be placed in a bas-
ket being sent to her husband for
their anniversary.
"There's a romance to food,"
Mr. Benson asserted. "It repre-
sents love. Everybody remembers
the foods that their mothers or
grandmothers made. Holiday
events bring back dishes that peo-
ple are used to."

bulk-food item has a code num-
ber that's rung into the register
to track its movement. If an item
is not moving, it is discontinued.
That was the case with many
products made with artificial
sweeteners, which customers said
did not have a good taste.
While their freshly-roasted
kosher coffee is an important line
for the Bensons, two new product
lines also hold a lot of excitement
— a meatless pastrami and a
group of kosher Godiva candies.
"We have made arrangements
with one of our smoked fish sup-
pliers to smoke salmon and spice
it to be like pastrami,” reported
Mr. Benson, who has taste-test-
ed the imitation deli favorite and
affirms an authentic flavor.
Just as the imitation pastrami
is planned for people who have
health concerns that make them
cut back on the amount of meat
they consume, there are fat-free
baked goods and sugar-free and
fat-free ice creams for individu-
als on other special diets.
"Nutrition is my background,"
Mr. Benson said. "People are
much more health conscious to-
day, so we find ourselves more fo-
cused on items that are fat-free,
highfiber and with some type of
nutritional mission. People see
food as a way to stay in good
health."
