"What started back in 2006 as a part-time Team Member role while at university turned into a career journey across different stores and roles, working with some incredible people. Most recently, I was the Store Team Leader for our Clapham Junction store and, prior to that, the Associate Store Team Leader at our U.K. flagship in High Street Kensington.
As a company, Whole Foods Market is always at the forefront of what is happening in the food world, and our teams have set a high bar for who we are and what we do. You are allowed to be yourself, and everyone is genuinely happy to help you reach your full potential. That has given me a sense of ownership and purpose to continue pushing myself and taking on new challenges.
Yesterday, I was reminded just how rewarding taking on those challenges can be when my team and I welcomed friends, guests and new neighbors to the newly opened Monument store in the City of London. New store openings bring a sense of togetherness and drive toward a common goal for the entire store team, and I am really excited about this one. It features a food venue with fresh food offerings unique to Whole Foods and brings a curated range of products to 'The Square Mile': the financial centre of London with an incredible history of trade and commerce.
Our new store adds a unique option for the people in the local area, providing the Whole Foods Market standard of quality and service.
I hope to see you all in our new space!"
