Each year, employees are rewarded for their day-to-day actions that showcase these values through our Value Champions Program. Nominated by co-workers and managers, an employee is selected who best represents each of our values.

My Sobeys Value: Always Place the Customer First
Family is extremely important and my career fits my life perfectly. I have been able to watch my family grow up and I am able to spend time with my grandchildren, but at the same time I was able to focus on my career when I needed to.
Why Sobeys?
Sobeys has given me the opportunity to lead a large team of essential service staff. I take a lot of pride in knowing that I have been able help such great people find their niche within the company.
My food confession
My favourite food is shortbread cookies, and I will take them whipped or rolled!

My Sobeys Value: Get It Done with Passion and Integrity
I love the interaction with fellow employees and longtime customers who let you know that they miss seeing you if they haven't talked to you in a while.
Why Sobeys?
I have been with the company for over 25 years and the best experience is seeing how things have changed over the years and to know that I have had a hand in helping bring about those changes. Whether its a new store opening or renovating an older store, the business is always changing to better serve our customers.
My food confession
I could go for fish and chips all year round!

My Sobeys Value: Always place the customer first
Whenever I’m faced with a challenge, I’ll do whatever is needed to ensure the person I’m helping gets what they need.
Why Sobeys?
My career at Sobeys works perfectly with my life. Although I work full time, I am home for supper, with plenty of time to spend with my daughter before she goes to bed. All and all, working at Sobeys is like spending time with my extended family, and is very much a major part of my life.
My food confession
Something that I’m sure you've never heard. Sliced pickle and peanut butter sandwich :)
