After 10 amazing years in Hy-Vee’s Wine & Spirits department, my final shift there will be Sunday, October 20th, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
I’d love for my regulars and friends to stop by for a handshake, a hug, or just to share a moment. Over the years, so many of you have made this job more than work—you’ve made it a community, and I’ll truly miss that connection.
This change comes from a desire to reignite my passion for what I do, and I’m excited to share that my next chapter begins in Hy-Vee’s Fast & Fresh (Gas Station)!
Come by on my last day to say goodbye, pick up your favorite beverages, and help celebrate a decade of great memories and good spirits.
Here’s to new beginnings and familiar faces along the way.
SIDE NOTE: I will continue as the Manager of Community Engagement and keep bringing amazing and philanthropic events to the community ...
SIDE NOTE 2: If you ever need to get hold of me for anything, my email: [email protected]
