Bev Dare - Integrity 2021

Being honest, having consistent morals and doing the right thing when no one is watching are only a few of the wonderful ways we would describe Bev.

"She is always looking for ways to improve productivity and is sincere and honest with her team members"

"The Vermilion Food Store received a call from a customer because they had left a couple bags of groceries at the self checkouts, but they were unable to come back to the store right away because they lived near Dewberry. Bev confirmed that the bags were still there and let the customer know that she would personally deliver the groceries back to them. The customer was taken aback and was incredibly happy that Bev would go above and beyond for them"

Mark Gormley - Commitment 2021

Investing where we live, work and play. Mark demonstrates a high level of commitment in his job, owning it 365 days a year. Mark cares about his team and is willing to help wherever it is needed.

“If you ever phone the Wainwright Food Store, and ask for Mark, he’s going to be around to answer the phone. Sure, he might have to come inside after his “breath of fresh air”, but I honestly don’t think anyone in Cornerstone has spent more time in their location than Mr. Gormley. You can find Mark down any aisle or in any department lending a hand, whether he’s reaching the top shelf for a customer or in the butcher’s room reliving his glory days. After over 30 years of service (wow!) his attitude, his demeanor, and his commitment have only grown more impressive. Mark Gormley really sets the standard for Cornerstone.”

“One evening when a customer entered the grocery store with two small children, Lacy was quick to greet the customer and entertain her kids while the lady did her shopping. Once ringing in the order at the till, the customer was short about $20 for her Purchase Order. The customer was about to remove the diapers from the order when Lacy said she would cover the remaining amount. She explained that being a single mom herself, she knows how hard it can be. The customer was brought to tears and was very grateful for Lacy’s help.”

Virginia Watling - Commitment 2019

Investing where we live, work and play, Virginia demonstrates a high level of commitment in her job, owning it 365 days, maintaining a healthy brand, lifestyle, and work/life balance.

“Virginia is often seen working very early or late, long after everyone has gone home. She will not rest until she makes certain everyone is going to be paid their hard-earned money. The huge Kronos upgrade was challenging to many in Cornerstone. For Virginia, she worked hours – morning, night, and weekends diligently and in my opinion, displayed a dedication to her team far above the already high levels of dedication.
