One way that Perry Wellness Center founder and CEO Stuart Perry judges customer satisfaction at the campus market is by the number of familiar faces. At Rudy’s Happy Patch Market, return customers are the norm.

“I am excited about the number of people that discover us and return,” Stuart says. “’Word of mouth’ about our service and our fresh produce and plants is creating another great year at Happy Patch Market.”

On a recent day, return shoppers Annelle and Guataloupe stopped by the market. Once small shoppers for special items, they now fill a wagon with a variety of selections from the market.

Annelle explains, “It is fun to shop here and know that we are supporting a good cause in our area.”
