What is the best part of working at Sobeys?
The great friends I've made over the years.
What is your proudest moment as a Sobeys employee?
Often being asked to train employees at other stores, and participating in store openings, which I enjoy.
What is your favourite memory from the past 25 years?
When I transferred to Stratford, the staff threw a going away party and gave me a going away gift.
