Position: Cashier

Core Value: Proudly Serving Our Communities

After 43 years at Safeway and Sobeys, Stephen Sheridan will soon retire to focus on doing volunteer work in his community. “I have loved my career at Sobeys, they have taught me to give back,” he said. As the lead of his store’s charitable activities for 25 years, Stephen’s team has raised money for equipment at a Calgary hospital and supports the Green Shirt Day initiative to raise awareness of organ donations. As a recipient of a donated organ he was proud that Sobeys took on the cause. His proudest achievement was the recent Special Olympics drive, which saw his store raise $8,800, making them the top store in Alberta and No. 2 in the country, thanks to some friendly rivalry amongst the stores. Along with charitable work, Stephen loves to give back on a personal level. “My cash register is a place where people come for a smile, to be recognized, and they can confide in me. Treat customers like family or you won’t get that repeat business.”
