Company statement

The following are verbatim responses from Alfalfa’s Market when reached by Bizwest for this story. The responses were sent after Bizwest asked for an interview with Alfalfa’s president Mark Homlish and sent a set of questions.

“We cannot comment specifically on confidential information regarding our payment terms and agreements with our vendor community. Alfalfa’s is committed to doing everything we can to work with our supplier partners, as we know this past year has been difficult for many of them, much like it has been difficult for our business. We are committed to our Louisville location, and appreciate the community’s continued support of our store and the Alfalfa’s legacy.”

“As a privately held company, Alfalfa’s does not publicly share financial information about its operations. Therefore, we cannot provide you with the details you have requested regarding our vendor obligations. We can confirm that the information you have is incorrect and incomplete, and it would be irresponsible for you to publish this information. Based on your follow up questions, we believe the information has been provided by a former employee who has obviously violated a confidentiality agreement with Alfalfa’s. Any financial information shared with you does not reflect the current financial situation of the company, nor would it have provided a complete picture of our financial health at any given point in time. We are doing everything we can to work with our vendors and ensure they are paid.”
