FMI Launches Supermarket Employee Day

Specialty Food Association

FMI has declared February 22 as Supermarket Employee Day, a dedicated time for the food industry to recognize employees at every level for the work that they do feeding families and enriching lives. To help the industry celebrate, FMI has released a free toolkit, which contains messaging, logos, and turnkey resources.

FMI president and CEO Leslie Sarasin said in a statement, “Day in and day out, millions of supermarket employees come to work both at the store level, the corporate headquarters and at every role in between to provide communities with essential services that help them survive and thrive.”

“Supermarket employees have personified compassion and courage when communities have most needed to be encouraged and, for that reason if no other, they are heroes,” she continued.
