As part of its "Sweet Surprise Pineapple Hunt," Dole team members are hiding 125 rocks hand-painted with pineapple-themed messages of positivity and inspiration in and around Uptown Charlotte. The company has recruited a host of neighboring Uptown Charlotte businesses—coffee shops, cafes, bakeries, delis. markets and stores—to join in on the fun according to the following week: o	June 7-13: Amelie’s French Bakery Café (Uptown Charlotte café) o	June 14-20: Johnny Burrito o	June 21-27: All businesses will participate during Pineapple Week leading up to International Pineapple Day on June 27. o	June 28-July 4: Rhino Market &amp; Deli (Uptown Charlotte market) o	July 5-11: Coco and the Director o	July 12-18: Devon &amp; Blakely (Uptown Charlotte café) o	July 19-25: Paper Skyscraper (Uptown Charlotte store) o	July 26-Aug. 1: Geno D’s Pizza For details, go to https://www.dole.com/pineapple125.
