The countdown to my final day at Buffalo Grove is two working days. I leave Buffalo Grove in the safe hands of those who are currently there and those who arrive at that store after me. I *officially* start at my new store on Thursday for their Grand Opening! The store is opening at 8am in the morning All of their ceremonies will be held either that day or on Friday.
I joined my new co-workers at the kick-off meeting/party/celebration just a few days ago (Thursday). They moved their main parking lot to being on the roof. (*Very* similar to the Dominick's on Chicago and Damen!)
From the few co-workers that I was able to chat with, it seems like I will be working with a great group of people at Lincoln and Foster!
I will re-iterate. I am happy to be moving to a city store so that I am closer to home, but I will miss my crew at Half Day and Buffalo Grove! They were an awesome bunch to work with over the 3 years that I worked there. I was there from their Grand Re-Opening in September of 07! That store got the award for the longest period that I was at ONE store (minus various grand re-openings going on elsewhere).
(Major side note: Before I arrived at Half Day, I had actually been traveling with the Sales Specialists to a majority of the Grand Re-Openings from Merrionette Park (FAR South Side) to Gurnee and Aurora to downtown Chicago. All in all, I have been at over 12 stores in just under 4 years! All but 4 were "Temporary Assignments," meaning Sales Specialists Tasting Duties. ;) )
