Some episode highlights:
- Earliest Memory at Young’s (before employment):
- Judy: “I remember coming with my mother to get milk… getting it in the glass bottles with the cream on top!”
- Brian: “We’d walk down here to Young’s and get a quart of ice cream for a dollar” after mowing lawns as a teen.
- Angela: “I remember my grandmother coming up here and getting english muffin bread. If it was a good week, I’d get a scoop of chocolate peanut butter!”
- Why is Young’s a good place for someone to start their career at Young’s?
- Judy: “For me, it’s family. I’ve always encouraged my children to work here, and my grandchild has worked here. I think it’s been good for all of them.”
- Brian: “It’s a fantastic culture to work in. It’s great for us to bring on kids who don’t have bad habits, so we can give them life skills that they may or may not be able to have at home.”
- Angela: “Two of my (four) kids still work here. It’s a great place to start. It was my first job, and I still work here! It is the atmosphere… the people you meet here, the relationships that you get here. They stick with you for a lifetime.”
- Favorite part about working here:
- Judy: “I think it’s just the friendships that I’ve made here. I also enjoy working with all the young people!”
