Meet Jen Thompson

Jen Thompson recently became Tawas store grocery manager, prior to this position Jen worked corporately in data integrity, she continues to do some of that work as we get ready to transition to a new program and train staff to take over her duties there. Jen enjoys interacting with customers on the sales floor the most in her job and appreciates that at Neiman’s Family Market when you having something going on in your life that they really do care and will help however they can. Flexibility if you communicate your schedule needs, for example with kids like sports is also a benefit Jen appreciates at Neman’s.  Jen’s advice to new hires, if you need help or don’t understand something ask for help or clarification.

Growing up in Algonac, Michigan Jen wanted to be a teacher and her favorite toy was a Cabbage Patch Doll. Don’t offer Jen fish for dinner, it is her least favorite food, better to serve pizza, in fact if she had one meal for the rest of her life Jen would have pizza.  If you look in her fridge the oldest item is BBQ sauce, she must not put that on her pizza, and Jen’s favorite cereal is Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Napoleon Dynamite is Jen’s favorite movie. The first concert Jen went to was Green Day and her favorite sport is volleyball. If she had a superpower it would be to fly, probably to get her to her dream vacation location of Hawaii. If Jen won the lottery, the first thing she would buy is a new car.

Jen has 2 daughters, Brianna and Brooklyn. Brianna is a freshman at Michigan State University and Brooklyn is 7^th grade. The most important thing to Jen in life is her girls, a close second… her McDonald’s Coke.

Jen began her career with Neiman’s Family Market back in August of 2008. Her store director Ray appreciates that Jen is very knowledgeable about the workings of the store and she is always willing to help out in any way she can to make the store function! Thank you Jen and all our staff for making Neiman’s Family Market a great place to shop!
