Avocado

Imported avocados make up roughly 90% of U.S. supply — most are from Mexico. Many of these fruits pass through the Port of Laredo, which has seen recent growth in cold chain infrastructure.

Demand for avocados rose about 7% last year. But some consumers found there were drawbacks to buying them via curbside delivery.

The fast-casual chain has turned around business since the health scares of years past.

It has to do more with inventory than avocado toast.

It's about the big expenses, not the small ones.

Some might say avocado toast has jumped the shark. I say we're just getting started.
