To celebrate #TeamSprouts, we’re highlighting the team at store #945 – Marlton, NJ, for sending a warm welcome back to some of the businesses in their shopping plaza with a care package full of Sprouts goodies.
In the last few months, the world has shifted in ways that no one would have ever predicted. Ongoing developments during the pandemic have been very challenging for our communities. In response to mandatory shutdowns, many businesses were forced to close their doors: “Most of the plaza was closed for quite a few months. The week before the stores were set to open, we came together and decided to welcome our neighbors back in a special way,” Chris Murphy, Scan Coordinator, said.
Chris and Grocery Manager Andrea Mansure worked together to create the “welcome back” care packages: “We tried to use a little bit from each department to welcome these businesses back. Vegan cookies, Tillamook individually wrapped cheeses, bananas, yogurts, Annie’s cookies and crackers, and Sprouts water were packed for our neighbors with special care,” Chris said.
They each took turns delivering the packages so other team members could share the good feeling of appreciation from the businesses. “When we presented the packages to some of the stores, we received an abundance of gratitude. In these challenging times, this is what it’s all about – taking care of each other not only within our stores, but in our communities,” Chris said.
Thank you, Chris, Andrea and team members of store #945 for all that you are doing to support each other, our customers and communities.
