Human Capital

As of May 29, 2025, we had 82 employees, of which 26 worked part-time. Of our 84 employees, we employed 13 in corporate and administrative capacities, eight in marketing and sales and e-commerce activities, 42 in retail activities and 19 in production, warehouse and product development activities. None of our employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

We believe our employees are key to achieving our business objectives. Our key human capital measures include employee safety, turnover, absenteeism and productivity. We frequently benchmark our compensation practices and benefit programs against those of companies in comparable industries and in the geographic areas where our facilities are located. We believe our compensation and employee benefits are competitive and allow us to attract and retain skilled and unskilled labor throughout our organization. Our notable health, welfare and retirement benefits include:

| ● | company-subsidized 
 health insurance;  |

| ● | 401(k) 
 Plan;  |

| ● | tuition                                      
 assistance program via FSA savings plan; and |

| ● | paid      
 time off. |

Employee safety is one of our top priorities. We develop and administer company-wide policies designed to ensure the safety of each team member and compliance with OSHA standards. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic,
