Graeme Ogilvie
Proudly Serving: Sobeys #937, Brampton, ON
Position: Store Manager
Core Value: Get it Done with Passion and Integrity
Leading by example is on Graeme Ogilvie’s to-do list every day; if you’re looking for him at his Brampton, ON, store, you’ll find him on the floor helping a department that needs him. “There’s nothing I wouldn’t do in my store, and my department managers do the same, it’s a trickle-down effect, he said. “When people are successful at their jobs they’re happier, and that’s a win for everyone.” As a part-time grocery clerk 21 years ago, Graeme couldn’t have imagined how much he’d learn about the grocery business with Sobeys, rising through the ranks at stores and travelling Ontario for head office before becoming a store manager. He says as a people person, “customer interactions, and managing and motivating the staff” are what he loves the most about the job, while also succeeding at meeting his store’s targets. Sobeys has also been beneficial for Chris personally; he met his wife through the company, and they now have two children together.
