Pilgrim’s Pride Corp, the Pittsburg TX-based poultry company, was recently honored by Jack in the Box with two separate awards for outstanding customer service.
The restaurant company presented Pilgrim’s Pride with its 2005 Vendor Partnership Award, which recognizes vendors that have consistently demonstrated commitment to product quality and safety, customer service, and reliability. Pilgrim’s Pride was honored for exceeding expectations in categories including attention to detail, service, on-time delivery, and meeting product specifications. Only eight of Jack in the Box’s approximately 200 vendors received the Vendor Partnership Award, and Pilgrim’s Pride was the only poultry company to earn this honor.
The National Franchisee Purchasing Cooperative Inc, an organization representing 36 Jack in the Box franchise operators, presented Pilgrim’s Pride with its 2005 Supplier of the Year award. Pilgrim’s Pride was the only vendor of about 100 to receive the annual award from the cooperative.
