Year End Message from Quinn Ricker, President & CEO


Dear Ricker Family,

Attending all the Christmas parties has given me an opportunity to observe and reflect about where we are as a company.  After seeing all the smiling faces and it made me realize this is the best year ever in the history of the company!  Think about what has happened in 2015: 

 
1.        We built the most stores in one year in the history of the company, 5.
2.       The stores are performing better than expected.
3.       We gave substantial raises to virtually all hourly team members. 
4.       We gave substantial raises to almost all managers.
5.       Turnover is at the lowest point in memory.
6.       We made huge strides in rolling out our food offer to stores.
7.       Inside sales growth has been the best in years.
8.       Financially we have had the best year yet.
9.       Employee culture and moral are at an all-time high.
It just does not get better than this.  Being in business is all about what we have accomplished this year, working hard, winning in the marketplace, and taking care of our family members.  I wish I could bottle up this year and keep this run going.  The plans we have in store for the next few years with food additions and new stores should make that a reality.  I look forward to winning together in 2016.  I am thankful all of you are part of our family.

 
Sincerely,
 
Quinn
