Customer Each Win $2,500 Rite Aid Gift Card in Customer Service
Contest
Rite Aid is proud to announce the two winners of the 2015 Vote
for Your Favorite Pharmacy Team Member Contest. Sharon Balser, a
Rite Aid pharmacy technician from Milford, Mich., and Theresa
Forrest, a loyal Rite Aid customer from Gwynn Oak, Md., were both
selected at random from more than 11,000 unique entries. The
contest was designed to recognize Rite Aid pharmacy associates for
their commitment to providing excellent customer service.
To enter, customers submitted mail-in nominations and online
ballots during American Pharmacists Month in October. The names of
one customer and one pharmacy team member were each randomly drawn
to receive $2,500 in Rite Aid gift cards. All nominated Rite Aid
pharmacy team members will be recognized with a Favorite Pharmacy
Team Member lapel pin and a letter of commendation from CEO of Rite
Aid Stores and President of Rite Aid Corporation Ken Martindale and
Executive Vice President of Pharmacy Jocelyn Konrad.
“We are excited to celebrate the Rite Aid pharmacy teams who are
continuing to provide caring moments of service to loyal customers
across the country,” said Jocelyn Konrad, Rite Aid executive vice
president of pharmacy. “With more than 11,000 entries, it’s
phenomenal to see the appreciation our customers have for their
local pharmacy associates, and I’d like to thank each nominated
team member for championing Rite Aid’s promise to deliver
outstanding customer service – With us, it’s personal.”
Sharon Balser, Rite Aid's winning Pharmacy Team Member, has been
a pharmacy technician for nearly 30 years at the store in Milford,
Mich. and was nominated six times this year. Balser is known for
her kindness and her ability to consistently help customers while
making them feel appreciated.
“With more than 30 years at Rite Aid, Sharon is the perfect
example of what it means to provide excellent service with a
personal touch,” said Rony Foumia, Rite Aid pharmacy district
manager. “I’m thrilled that her hard work and dedication are being
recognized as she is truly an exceptional pharmacy technician."
