Recognizing our Retail and Wholesale Associates of the Year
October 22, 2020
Our associates provide great service, products and expertise to their customers as well as support and leadership to their teams, and we want to make sure this excellence is recognized. As a way to celebrate their accomplishments with all associates across the country, we recently held our annual red carpet event, the Associate of the Year Awards. Of course, this year our event was virtual, but no less important.

We have over 800 Retail associates at 1700+ sites across the country. This year, 55 Associates were nominated and we had eight winners across our different regions. They are:
