A St. Paul grocer landed on the cover of Wells Fargo & Company’s recently released 2012 annual report.   

The annual report leads with an anecdote about Shua Xiong, owner of Golden Harvest Foods, and his conversation with a banker. Eventually, Wells Fargo helped to finance the store’s remodeling project.  

Conversations like this “are also a beginning because they often lead to something more. A deeper relationship. A great idea. A way to solve a problem. That happened over the course of their relationship,” when banker Abby Ward recommended treasury management and equipment finance services to Xiong, the report states.

“Relationships like these are a Wells Fargo staple because they help our customers succeed financially," the report adds.
