Angela Harris

Proudly Serving: Sobeys #320, St. John's, NL

Position: Front End Manager

Core Value: Proudly Serving Our Communities

Angela Harris is her store’s champion for community engagement, often spearheading donations to charitable organizations such as the food bank. But it was a conversation with her teenage daughter that brought her charitable nature home — literally. When Angela discovered that her daughter’s friend had recently moved across the province for her mom’s cancer treatment, she took the girl under her wing, cutting her lengthy bus commute to school and the hospital and feeding her healthy meals. What the teen wanted most for Christmas was a haircut, so Angela arranged a fun spa day for the girls. “We made their Christmas,” said Angela. Thankfully the mother has been given a clean bill of health and they have moved back home. Angela says her employees are like family. “I grew up at Sobeys; I was 18 when I started. I went there to figure out what I wanted to do with my life,” she said. “I got married, had my children — every important milestone in my life, I’ve been with Sobeys.”
