(Atlantic) The Atlantic Chamber Ambassadors were hosted by Hy-Vee on Thursday, November 17th, 2022. The Ambassadors welcomed Jon Johnson, Store Manager, back to the store while also being introduced to other new staff.
Jon Johnson was the Hy-Vee store manager for four years until 2018, and during his time away, Jon worked in other grocery stores in Webster City, Lincoln, and Omaha. After a few years away, Jon approached Hy-Vee about getting back into Atlantic. Jon’s favorite part about working in a small-town Hy-Vee, is being involved in community partnerships and events.
The Ambassadors were also introduced to Crystal Parker as the Food Service Manager, Kimberly McDonald and the Assistant Manager of Perishables/ Marketing Coordinator, and Michael Coffman as the Produce Manager.
Jon helped initiate some of the renovations to the store before he left and helped wrap up the final touches as he has returned. Hy-Vee has re-vamped the “hot case”, developed recipes for the cook-to-order menu, and added new “grab-n-go” items. The final step of the renovation was replacing the 21-year-old produce case with a new system featuring the new misting units, lighting, and racks to keep the produce at its best.
