Ellwood Thompson’s Local Market is pleased to announce the creation of a new position, local forager, which will serve as a local product scout. Cyndi Watkins, Ellwood’s store manager will take over this new role and lead the store’s local outreach efforts.

After running her own business for several years, she came to Ellwoods and served as the store’s assistant manager and quickly rose to store manager. She is passionate about supporting local businesses and now she gets to devote a majority of her time to it.
Chris Castillo is a new addition to Ellwood Thompson’s and comes to the store after working as the director of operations at Tom Leonard’s.
