As Utahns prepare to celebrate Pioneer Day, ARO team members, along with team members at AFS’ member stores, across the state are working hard to ensure communities are ready for the festivities. 

Pioneer Day, commemorating the arrival of pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847, is a major holiday in Utah. It’s a time for parades, fireworks and gatherings, making a busy season for grocery stores.  

Team members at stores throughout Utah have been working diligently, not only to prepare for Pioneer Day but also to support other summer holidays. Their dedication ensures shelves are stocked, special items are available, and guests can find everything they need for their celebrations. 

In the days leading up to Pioneer Day, team members have been busy managing increased orders, handling deliveries, and setting up special displays featuring local products and treats. These efforts help guests find everything from barbecue essentials to homemade pies and more. 

As Utahans gather to celebrate Pioneer Day, they can take comfort in knowing that their local grocery store team members have gone above and beyond to support their festivities. The dedication and hard work of these employees ensure that the holiday is memorable for all. 

As fireworks light up the night sky and families gather to commemorate the state’s rich legacy, the efforts of ARO team members, and the many who support them on the wholesale side, is appreciated.
