Proudly Serving: Safeway #8919 Canmore, AB

Position: Seafood Manager

Core Value: Always Place the Customer First

Now that Terry has taken the Seafood Passion Training, the glass on her seafood counter never stays smudge-free for long. “At the end of every shift, I’m wiping off a series of … fingerprints and nose prints,” laughs Terry. “I call it Canmore’s answer to the Vancouver Aquarium.” The Seafood Passion Training has changed the shopping experience for customers. “Things used to be ungarnished, in straight lines,” says Terry. “Now it’s so much more organic and fluid that it’s really generated a lot of excitement and that’s reflected in the sales of the department.” It’s also reflected in the department’s elevated profile, including a brush with Hollywood fame. “I got a call asking if I carry any whole fish. I said ‘Absolutely.’ They said ‘We’ll take them all.'” It turns out the fish were destined for the filming of the blockbuster The Revenant. “I like to say ‘The Academy Award for the best trout goes to … Canmore Safeway.'”
