Employee Spotlight

Meet Sam Baillo
Dairy & Frozen Manager in Clarkston

We are proud to recognize Sam Baillo, for the fantastic job he does for us every day! Sam joined the family team in October of 2024 and says he really enjoys how family oriented we are as a company. He was nominated by our store leadership because they recognize we are fortunate and excited to have him on our team.

Sam brings an incredible 55 years of grocery retail experience to our team. According to those who work with Sam, that experience and knowledge show up every day in the way he runs his department. Sam does an outstanding job of maintaining great in-stock conditions, excellent overall cleanliness, accurate and attractive signing, local items that mean the most to our customers and a well-organized department.  When asked about his proudest moments at Neiman’s Family Market, he said it is when he increases sales and lowers his shrink. He also feels a real sense of accomplishment at increasing his sales.  Just as importantly, Sam understands the importance of taking care of our customers. He consistently provides excellent customer service and takes pride in making sure his department is ready for our customers each and every day. 

Sam grew up in the Detroit metro area not liking spaghetti but did try rattle snake. He says he would most like to be the “Road Runner” if he was a cartoon character, either to move fast or possibly he enjoys running the roads. Sam’s favorite movie is Top Gun and the first concert he ever attended was Bob Segar, we can all agree that “Old Time Rock and Roll” is the best! NASCAR may be his favorite sport but he says the one thing he can’t live without is his wife. This is one of the many reasons we appreciate the person Sam is! Sam also let the secret out- he has a hidden talent of being “Mr. Fix It”, don’t everyone run to him for help at once!

Thank you, Sam, for your dedication, experience and everything you do for our customers and team members. It is Sam, his fellow dairy frozen employees, fellow Clarkston employees and all Neiman’s Family Market employees who make our stores a special place to shop!
