Let’s give a big shoutout to Bill Filling, our rockstar on the wholesale team since 2014! He’s the guy responsible for handling all the grocery items and even steps in as the backup in the cigarette room. Bill’s the definition of a hard worker who’s always up for anything, anytime. Plus, he’s got that infectious smile and a quick one-liner that keeps us all grinning.
We seriously lucked out having Bill on our team, and we just want to say, “Way to go, Bill!” Keep being awesome! 🎉👏

This month, our workplace superstar is Betty Ann Staab! She’s the one with the perpetual smile, no matter what craziness comes her way. Not only does she keep the office spotless, but she’s also the guardian of the ever-hot coffee, ensuring our comfort. Betty’s contributions far surpass the traditional receptionist role, extending her support to every department, even though her official role is within HR. She embodies the true spirit of a team player, always ready to lend a hand, often anticipating needs before they’re voiced. She’s like a magician behind the scenes, going above and beyond.

The dictionary defines a receptionist as someone who answers phones and greets visitors, but Betty redefines it. She’s the HR rockstar we all rely on daily.

Betty doesn’t just make our jobs easier; she makes our days brighter with her caring and willingness to help, no matter what. We can’t thank her enough, and she truly embodies what it means to be an invaluable part of our team.

Betty, you’re a rockstar, and this recognition is well-deserved! 🌟👏
Congratulations!

In June, we embarked on an exciting adventure by organizing a night out for our employees at the Phillies game.

Whether it was a nail-biting moment or a jubilant home run, we experienced it all as one big, boisterous family.

Our employees work tirelessly throughout the year, and this night out was the perfect opportunity for everyone to take a break and relax. Heritage’s Night Out at the Phillies was more than just a baseball game; it was an expression of unity, camaraderie, and appreciation for our incredible employees.
