JULY 2024
Get out your cooler, your picnic basket, your towels, and your beach umbrella, because summer is finally here. Why spend time indoors when you can be out, enjoying the sounds of waves crashing on sand, kids splashing in the pool, or the hum of nature as dusk gives way to night? With all the reasons to get outside, don’t waste time preparing food. Come into the store and get everything you need for your cooler: cut up fruit, deli salads, cold drinks, and so much more. And while you’re here, remember to get your favorite brands of bug spray and sunscreen, so you can enjoy every minute while staying protected.
Here’s a fun fact to ponder while you’re getting in some rays: Rising Tide has been a part of your community for 48 years! This month we will have officially been open for nearly a half-century. During that time we’ve had the pleasure of seeing generations of families pass through our doors. We have been here to watch as the City of Glen Cove has evolved, and we have evolved right along with it. It’s been an amazing ride, and we’re grateful for every minute.
With (48 years of) gratitude,
Jerry
Oh Sweat!
Prone to perspiration? It’s no sweat, provided you replenish those electrolytes. That’s especially important as temperatures rise to levels that make even stepping outside a clammy endeavor. We carry a wide range of flavorful electrolyte powders to add to your water so you’re rehydrating with purpose.
Seasonal Produce
Seasonal Fruits
Summer is synonymous with watermelon, and we’ve got it whole, cut up, and ready to eat. Also in season are juicy peaches and nectarines that will make your mouth water just by looking at them. Need a simple dessert? How about peaches and cream? Whether you whip the cream first or just pour some over sliced peaches, it’s a scrumptious way to enjoy this summertime specialty.
Seasonal Veggies
Forgive us, but we’re about to get a little corny. After all, it is the side of the summer. Grill it. Boil it. Shave it into a salad. Bake it into a cornbread. Just. Eat. It. Keep in mind too, that corn isn’t the only vegetable that’s at its peak right now. Summer is the season for the skewer, and vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes, and bell peppers are excellent on the grill. We’ve even got Jerry’s own famous Veggie Skewer recipe to make it super simple for you!
Dig In To These Dishes
Summertime Safety
Sunburns and bug bites. This dangerous duo can dampen summertime fun. Be prepared to combat UV rays and mosquitos with brands like Badger and Nantucket Spider. Badger is a mineral sunscreen that is reef safe and made from zinc oxide. Nantucket Spider is a DEET-free bug repellent that’s made from essential oils rather than harsh chemicals. They’ve even got outdoor garden incense sticks for repelling mosquitos and flies. Get the right gear before you get outside.
Just Grillin’
Coming from small family farms where things like animal care, sustainability, and free-range methods are a priority, D’artagnan has gained a top class reputation for quality meat. So when it comes to what you put on your grill, treat yourself to the best. RT has D’artagnan’s ground beef, lamb, and turkey, so you can construct the burger of your culinary dreams. Salmon is also outstanding on the grill, and we provide only the freshest cuts of fish. So come by so you can stay out of the kitchen and fire up the grill.
Time For Some Bubbly
You know we’re talking about seltzer, right? Once you try a sip of Nixie Sparkling Water, we dare you not to feel effervescent about all that flavor. Founded by the same people behind Late July snacks, Nixie’s products were made to not only be delicious, but also to help remove single-use plastic, forever chemicals, and sugar from the beverage aisle. Sip in solidarity!
Steve’s Summer Supplement
Steve is here with a recommendation to keep your health in mind while you eat all that BBQ this month. *Give your bod a little something good by adding a scoop of Natural Factors’s Beets and Berries to your beverage of choice. Natural Factors calls their antioxidant blend of berries, black currants, acai, and beets their “ruby gems.” Organic and 100% fermented, this supplement is gluten free and vegan.
*As with any supplement, check with your doctor first for the okay, especially if you’ve got any medical conditions, are on medication, or are breastfeeding or pregnant.
Smoothie Of The Month
We’re honoring Independence Day all month long with the Blue Sunrise. It’s a thirst quenching blend of organic banana, organic pineapple, organic lemon juice, organic blue spirulina, and organic coconut water.
Charity Of The Month: The Wildlife Center of Long Island (formerly Volunteers for Wildlife)
What first began as a wildlife rescue and rehab operating in a garage in 1982, became the first professional wildlife hospital and education center on Long Island. These days, this Huntington-based nonprofit provides over 200 outreach and education programs, rehabilitates and alleviates suffering of over 2,200 orphaned and injured wild patients, and handles around 10,000 calls to their wildlife hotline each year. It’s a tremendous service to our community that Rising Tide is honored to contribute to.
Join the RT Team
We’re hiring for the fall.
When it comes to grocery stores, we may be on the smaller side, but what we lack in square footage, we make up for in company culture and teamwork. There’s a reason why our team members know customers’ names, products they prefer, and even what’s going on in their lives. It’s because one of our core hiring principles is finding candidates that are a good match with our culture. Generosity, positivity, and a can-do spirit are some of our top priorities when we hire. We place these values above being able to adhere to a rigid schedule. We understand that you’ve got a life outside of the store, so if we think you’re a great addition to our team, we’ll do our best to work with your schedule. If you’re a parent looking for work hours that align with your child’s school day, or you’re a retiree looking to make some extra money, or a student looking for part-time work, come in and interview with us. We’ll do our best to make a schedule that works for both of us!
