General Manager
Greetings Ever’man Members and Patrons, Wow, has it ever been a hot summer. That hot weather should start coming to an end very soon. Fall will be in the air and we will be able to enjoy the outdoors again. Late summer and early fall is also the peak of hurricane season. Please be careful and make sure you have a family hurricane preparedness plan. Stock up on items like water, tuna, soup, juices, snacks and other items to hold you until the power is returned. In the event of a storm, Ever’man will be here to help. As long as our employees are safe, we will stay open. In the event of a closure, we will open back up as soon as it is advisable. Ever’man is equipped with a generator to keep our refrigeration running during a power outage, so we can reopen quickly after a storm passes. Check our Facebook page for updates. School has resumed and everyone is getting back to their routines. If you are looking for a healthy way to pack snacks and lunches, Ever’man can help. We have all kinds of tasty and nutritious items such as organic fruits and vegetables, lunch meats, breads, snack bars of all varieties, bulk trail mixes, boxed juices, bottled water and the list goes on and on. Our staff members can give you plenty of suggestions if you need a little help.
Fall is also a time for football and other sports and we are ready to help with all your tailgating needs. We have party platters full of fruits, veggies, cheeses, lunchmeats, sandwiches or deviled eggs. Please give us 24 hours’ notice for most platters. We are moving along on our 9 Mile Road store project. The architects and store planners have been giving us some really exciting and cool ideas. We believe you, our membership, will love the new location. This new store, with all its features, will be a destination, not just a store. If you plan to join us for our Membership Appreciation Event on Saturday October 7th, we will have some exciting drawings of the new location on display. We will be glad to answer any questions you might have. Currently, it looks like we can break ground just after New Year’s Day. If you can’t join us on October 7th, the drawings will be in the store after the event. In closing, I hope you have a wonderful fall season. Stay safe and watch for the little ones as they go to school. At Ever’man, we continue to strive toward our ultimate goal to be the “Best Grocery Store” in the Pensacola area. Hope to see you in the store soon.
