Store Manager Chad Arthur, #1369, Dothan, Alabama

“Working in the yard is very therapeutic. Also, I started going to the gym and began training for a 5K race. My son ran a marathon in 2022, inspiring me to start running. Staying busy at home and with my family and friends keeps me fueled for work.”

Immunizing Hospital Pharmacy Technician Brandon Norton, #3217, Jacksonville, Florida

“I like to paint and assemble miniatures. Sitting down and focusing on small intricate models helps me decompress and have some fun working on different color schemes.”

District Manager Administrative Assistant Candace Wilson, Charlotte, North Carolina

“To reenergize as a family, we love to unplug from all devices and explore something new in our community or state. There are thousands of waterfalls across western North Carolina. Most are less than a 2-mile hike from the road. They are beautiful opportunities to discover, photograph, unwind and reconnect with nature.”

Deli Manager Dalton Sutton, #749, Stuart, Florida

“When I’m not working, I love to take road trips and photographs. Photography has been a hobby of mine for over 30 years, and it pairs well with my newfound love for road trips. I must say, there is something about driving for hours and getting fresh air.”

Store Manager Joe Rodriguez, #1062, Miami

“Running is my passion and my health obsession. Every day — whether it’s after work, on a day off or even on vacation — I need to get out and run.”
