Make A Difference Minute: Where Hard Work Can Take You

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have part two with Andrea Barnes, store manager of the new Food City in Athens,AL as she shares how a part-time cashier position became a career she never imagined. Ten years ago, after moving to Chattanooga, Andrea was looking for a fresh start. A stay-at-home mom for 15 years, she applied to Food City after her daughter encouraged her to do the same. What began as a part-time cashier position soon became an opportunity to grow. Andrea embraced every challenge that came her way, serving as a floral manager, receiver, assistant manager, and ultimately earning the role of store manager. She credits the leaders who believed in her, invested in her development, and opened doors as she proved herself ready for each new opportunity. Her story is a reminder that where you begin doesn’t determine where you can go. With hard work, a willingness to learn, and a company that invests in its people, remarkable opportunities can become reality.
