As a small business, our greatest asset is our people. Even though we really are family owned and independently run…everyone from our cashiers, to sales associates, to administrative staff is family. Many of us have worked together for 5, 10, 20+ years. We get to see children born from co-workers, and then we get to see those children get married and have children of their own. We get to celebrate great times, but we also get to ache when times might not be so great.
Right now, we’re aching for one of our own.
Many of you know Kim Honan. He worked in our hardware division in Duluth for several years before moving to Alpharetta and helping that store open the doors in 2013. He loves helping customers and is genuinely one of the friendliest people you will ever meet. Kim and his wife were involved in a car crash a few weeks ago, and he has been in the hospital ever since. If you would, say some prayers for the Honan family.
In times like these, you wonder what you can do and how you can help. While it may not specifically help Kim at this point, one thing which accidents like this always brings need for is blood. This Friday, there is a blood drive happening at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre. Here are the details:
Location: Backstage at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre.
Park in the Delta VIP Lot and enter through the Carl Black Club.
After donating blood, please join us ON STAGE for food and drink. Selfies are encouraged. Show off that you donated blood AND stood where many rockers have sung your favorite songs! You will also receive a commemorative 2015 concert poster, while supplies last.
