Spare time share time

Do you ever wonder what your co-workers and fellow company owners do after they hang up their aprons and put away their nametags? Here are some creative and interesting hobbies from associates around the company!


Riding in style has never seemed so real! Pharmacist Kurt Stemmer, #1241, Panama City Beach, Florida, has been designing and building cars since 1989 for the United States Auto Club races. In 2020, Kurt was asked to design and build a car for this year’s Little 500, the preliminary race before the Indianapolis 500 during Memorial Day weekend.


While most of us struggle putting together a bed frame with instructions, Front Service Clerk Cooper Wahl, #1122, Orlando, Florida, is building robotics in and outside of school! Recently, his robot was even featured on a TV show showcasing homemade robots. Cooper has brought in his robots a few times and shown them off to his team in the break room.


What is the saying about 1 block at a time? We may not remember, but Store Manager Jason Bourassa, #1294, Auburn, Alabama, certainly knows the secret. Jason has a passion for telling stories through his Lego creations and was even scouted by a TV show for his skills.


She is making her cake and eating it too! Decorator Jessica Tatham (pictured right), #1537, Gulf Breeze, Florida, not only enjoys decorating our fabulous cakes, but in her free time, she has appeared in several shows for her skills. Jessica made us all proud by placing 2nd in her 1st national competition a few years ago and continues to look for new ways to challenge her creativity.


Being creative and sustainable is worth double the points! Cashier Johnny Bee, #1537, Gulf Breeze, Florida, has found a way to master both with his sustainably sourced terrariums. He loves making his own miniature world to provide a creative home for small plants and succulents, and he usually finds the materials in his own backyard.


Want to know what a real-life superhero looks like? Just take a look at Decorator Rosela Joseph, #1144, Lake Worth, Florida! Rosela started bodybuilding 10 years ago and has even placed 12th in the Olympia competition in Las Vegas.
