Celebrate Abt's Spring Star Employees of 2025
Yesterday was the official first day of spring, and as we welcome a new (and warmer) season, we're taking time to reflect on the first quarter of 2025. Our team attended CES and KBIS to cover the latest kitchen & electronics innovations. Alice's Coffee officially opened inside our Glenview store. Abt launched the Bolt AI Assistant to help answer customer questions. We honored Ryder with our 2024 Carrier of The Year award. Upon the release of the LG OLED T, the world's first transparent television, Abt became the only retailer in the country to have the TV on display for customers to see themselves. We also just closed our annual bracket challenge sign-ups for the men's college basketball tournament, offering two free TV prizes to those who successfully predict the season. All of this is possible with help from our amazing employees. Over 1700 people make Abt run as smoothly as it does including sales specialists, office employees, warehouse workers, Recycling Center staff and more. That's why we're one of the top retail destinations for tech gadgets, appliances and top-notch customer service. With this in mind, we'd like to highlight a few special Abt employees who continue to go above and beyond their duties, making our store a wonderful place to shop and work. Here are Abt's Spring Star Employees for 2025:
- Jeannie Boom, Customer Service Representative
- Jason Forrest, Woodshop Carpenter
- Nicole Fierro, Builders Operations Admin Support
- Jose Orozco, Warehouse Drivers Return Supervisor
These Spring Star Employees are committed to making each day at Abt a great one, inspiring productivity among team members and creating a cheerful work environment for themselves and everyone they interact with. They take on each task with enthusiasm and aim for greatness above all else. On top of these traits, all four of our Spring Star Employees have been at Abt for 16 to 30 years now. Fun fact: that's about 18-34% of the time that Abt has been open, as we're celebrating our 89th year in business. We're a family-owned store and it's for this reason that we truly treasure the loyalty of our Spring Star Employees. These honorees are just a few of many who have decades under their belt at Abt, so if you're a loyal customer, you're likely to see faces you know each time you visit us.
To our Spring Star Employees of 2025, Jose Orozco, Nicole Fierro, Jason Forrest and Jeannie Boom, congratulations on this fantastic accomplishment! Your passion and motivation help drive Abt's success and we're sure your efforts will only further inspire those around you. With people like these Spring Star Employees supporting our team, Abt can expect plenty more notable achievements throughout 2025.
