It’s Monday, so buckle up! We’re introducing you to another The GIANT Company team member. Andrew Mahoney is the facility manager at our Perishable Distribution Center (PDC) in Carlisle, Pa., that serves all of our stores across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. Andy knows his stuff – he’s been with the PDC for more than 20 years! In 2000, he started as a selector, strategically moving products from shelves so that the grocery stores had what they needed to best serve customers. Since then, he’s served in multiple operations positions at the PDC, including shift leader, supervisor, operations manager, and now, facility manager. Team members throughout the company see him as knowledgeable and genuine. He’s happy to share his wealth of knowledge about the facility and the company with others and wholeheartedly cares about setting up team members for success. Andy’s favorite part of his day-to-day? Interacting with PDC team members. He reinforces the company’s team promises every day, through his commitment to encouraging team members to be themselves, grow through opportunities, and make a difference. The team at the PDC is culturally diverse, and this is celebrated in many ways, including with a world map at the facility featuring pins sharing where everyone’s from. The map reads, “Many Cultures. One Team.” Andy is fascinated by different cultures and loves learning about team members’ families, preferred cuisines, and what motivates each individual. He recognizes that with this knowledge, he can make the facility an even better place to work. “My favorite memories at the company are around our team member events,” said Andy. “At the PDC, we plan events to help team members engage outside of our regular work environment, and it’s awesome to see people, who may not seem have a whole lot in common, make lasting connections.” Andy’s favorite accomplishments with The GIANT Company involve the team getting through challenges together. “Watching the team engage and work through big events, like weather events and global pandemics, is a sight to see,” Andy shared. “This is the best team in the business, and it really shines through during these challenges. There is never a doubt that our team will overcome all obstacles.” Ultimately, Andy knows his and his teammates’ work is key to The GIANT Company’s purpose of connecting families for a better future. “Each and every day, we try to do everything in our power to make the stores’ interactions with the PDC the best they can be,” said Andy. “We do this by trying to select, load, and deliver our perishable items as accurately, timely, and to the standard that is expected of us. This is important because if we don’t get our stores what they need, they can’t best serve their customers, and those customers are the reason we do what we do.”
