“Over the past year and a half, I have had the chance to work more closely with the Farr West team. I am completely impressed with the hard work and innovative culture of this team. The past few years have been challenging for all of us but especially for the Farr West team. Dealing with supply challenges, inconsistency of deliveries, an empty warehouse, a full warehouse with product stacked down the aisles, not having enough team members to select product for our stores and so on.

Even with all of these challenges they still manage to get the job done. Fulfilling the critical job of getting groceries to our retailers. To the Farr West team, we appreciate you and all that you do four our retailers and for one AFS. Thank you!”

“I’m extremely grateful and thankful for your hard work and service at Lin’s. I want you to know it hasn’t gone unnoticed! I cannot express my heartfelt gratitude enough to each of you who show up every day and give it your all. Thank you for bringing so much value and contributing to the success of Lin’s.

Thanks for not going ‘nuts’ when everything that was happening around us seemed liked a never ending ‘circus’! Your dedication, attitude and especially your relentless service adds so much to the success of Lin’s! Thank you! I appreciate every one of you for what you do each day.

Whenever I think of the term ‘Most Valuable Player’ Lin’s Team Members constantly come to mind! You show up to work in great form everyday, with a positive attitude that makes it such a pleasure for me to work with each of you. It’s such an honor for me to have Team Members of such high caliber working for Lin’s. Thank you so much for all you do to make us successful.

“Hello Team,

This is a great week as we get to celebrate each of you! Without question the grocery industry has been hectic, especially over the pasts few years, and I would like to take a moment and express my gratitude to each of you for all your hard work and support you have given in taking care of our guests and communities. One of my favorite quotes comes from Henry Ford,

“Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success!“. Each of you plays a key role in the success of this organization, not to mention the success of one another. I’m honored to work with such an amazing group of individuals, so thank you once again for being such an amazing team!”
