An unexpected prize

To encourage challenge participation, the management team at #1541, St. Petersburg, Florida, created their own Step It Up contest for their associates.

Grocery Clerk Victor Wilson blew away the competition with more than 1 million steps — or about 500 miles — recorded during the 6-week challenge. Victor walks to and from work every day, and his management team wanted to do something extra special for him. So, they surprised him with a new bicycle.

Congratulations, Victor!
