Employee Spotlight

Meet Jason Stanfield

Jason works full time in our St. Clair grocery department and last month he celebrated his first year with us. Senior staff say he has been an amazing asset to the entire team and describe him as energetic, friendly, and willing to do anything and help anywhere needed. The friendly atmosphere and working with some of the happiest people at Neiman’s are some of the highlights of Jason’s job and his advice to new hires would be to stay busy, smile, be friendly and kind to others. You may be surprised to know that part of Jason’s job is to clean the grocery shelves, maybe not a glamorous part of the job but a vital one that is much appreciated. 

Growing up in Detroit, where he was called “J”, his favorite toy was GI Joe. Learning to ride a bicycle is a favorite memory of Jason’s childhood, who thought he might grow up to be a DNR Officer. Not sure if it is as old as he is but the oldest thing in his refrigerator is half bottle of Coca Cola. You will not find shrimp in his frig though, as it is Jason’s least favorite food. Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes is his favorite cereal and if he had only one item he could eat for every meal the rest of his life it would be… pizza! The weirdest food Jason has eaten, dolphin, not many of us can say we have tried “Flipper”!

Jason has been married to his beautiful wife Missy for 15 years and they have a pure breed pit-bull named River. He enjoys tinkering on small engines and he goes fishing and camping any chance he gets. Jason says he does not travel a lot but if he had a dream vacation it would be to Alaska and if he hit the lottery he would go skydiving.  Fear Factor at Harpo’s in Detroit was his first concert, speaking of fear, Jason’s greatest fear is drowning.

Neiman’s has a hidden star in Jason as he plays guitar and drums! Might be time to start a band there in St. Clair!

We asked Jason what three words best describe him and we could not agree more with his choices; happy, honest and hard worker!

Thanks and appreciation to Jason, all our employees in St. Clair and all Neiman’s Family Market stores, for your dedication and hard work taking care of our customers as well as helping  each other, with Jason’s advice of wearing a smile!
