Kelly Hubbard and I were fortunate enough to attend the North Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association's (NCRLA's) first annual Taste of North Carolina at the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club in Durham. Largemouth is working with one of Raleigh's landmark restaurants, and since the restaurant's owner was being honored with an award at the event, we wanted to show our support and network with other attendees in the hospitality industry.
According to the NCRLA, North Carolina's hospitality industry is a $17.5 billion industry. In fact, restaurants and hotels combined are one of North Carolina's largest employers, providing jobs to more than 10 percent of the state's workforce.
While Largemouth's primary focus remains B2B, we do work with retail and consumer clients to drive visibility and preference for their goods and services. At the Taste of North Carolina, Kelly and I sampled North Carolina's finest food, beer, wine and hospitality service, and we were not disappointed!
