This ray of sunshine is Dawn — General Manager at our Town Pump Billings 3 location — who's spent over 2 years making our customers smile and honing her leadership skills.

When she's not brightening your day at the store, Dawn is quite the multi-faceted individual! You might find her lost in a good book , sinking shots at the pool hall, knocking down pins at the bowling alley, or enjoying some quality time at the dog park with her kids and adorable puppy! 📖🎱🎳🐾

Dawn says her favorite part of the job is all about YOU, the customer. Especially gratifying for Dawn is getting to know the regulars who live or work nearby and frequent her store.

Dawn's District Manager, Marj, had some fantastic things to say about Dawn's leadership when she nominated Dawn for the spotlight.

We're so lucky to have you on the Town Pump team, Dawn! Thank you for your dedication and positive spirit! ❤️

Say hello to Cynthia, an incredible clerk with a smile 😊 that has been lighting up the store at Town Pump Bozeman 7 (19th & Baxter) for the last 7 months!

In addition to everything that Lisa had to say about Cynthia's delightful personality and rapport with customers, she also filled us in that Cynthia is a cleanliness champion who spends any downtime scrubba dub dubbing in the store. We're told she doesn't stop until the whole place is immaculate. 💎

When she's not at the store cranking the vibes up to 11 🎛️, Cynthia STILL doesn't stop because she has a plethora of hobbies that keep her hopping!

Between keeping the store sparkling clean and making everyone feel welcome, Cynthia's a true superstar. 🌟 We're so lucky to have you on the Town Pump team, Cynthia!

Alright let's give a big Friday round of applause for our superstar Assistant Manager in Florence: Allen! 🎉

Allen's been brightening Town Pump days for a fantastic 1½ years. When he's not keeping things running smoothly on the front end (big ups from Allison) Allen's a veritable Renaissance man! From dazzling the public with his performing arts skills to conquering mountain trails, folding intricate origami, whipping up culinary delights, and rocking out to local tunes, he truly does it all! 🎶⛰️🍽️

But what truly makes Allen ✨ shine? His favorite part of the job: "Helping someone acknowledge their own potential and seeing it grow." How amazing is that?! He's not just an Assistant Manager, he's an 🗝️ unlocker of potential!

If you see Allen at our Florence location, be sure to say hello.... Maybe he'll even show you some origami tips! 😉 Allen, keep on shining, mentoring your team, and delighting our guests! We appreciate you. 🧡

It's National Pistachio Day.... and partly as an excuse to post this gif, we pulled together some fun facts about pistachios:

🟢 Pistachios are one of the oldest flowering nut trees, with evidence of human consumption dating back around 9,000 years.
🟢 They are believed to have originated in the Middle East, particularly in the region that is present-day Iran.
🟢 In some parts of the world, pistachios are considered a symbol of health, happiness, and good fortune.
🟢 Legend has it that the Queen of Sheba loved pistachios and declared them a royal food.
🟢 Pistachios are packed with nutrients, including healthy fats, protein, fiber, and antioxidants.
🟢 They also contain more potassium than half of a banana.
🟢 Pistachios are believed to be one of only two nuts mentioned in the Bible.

Pistachio ice cream is top-tier, imo. What do YOU think?

Let us take some time to tell y’all about Rick, our spotlight employee of the week.

Rick spends his work days in Thompson Falls maintaining the store, fixing things 🧰 that are broken, and helping address any issues that may arise. The physical condition of a store is critical to a successful operation. Having someone like Rick, who is dedicated not only to addressing equipment/property malfunctions but also keeping up on the preventative maintenance 📋 to catch issues before they can impact customers is truly so valuable.

Like many of our employees, Rick takes advantage of the proximity to outdoor recreation that is a major benefit of living in Montana by fishing 🎣 and jeeping ⛰️ in his off time. And because doing the outdoorsy stuff isn’t possible year-round, iRacing is there through the frigid winters.

Store Co-Manager William nominated Rick for recognition under the spotlight, and we echo the sentiments of William’s words. Rick, thank you so very very much for your can-do attitude and customer-focused diligence. 🎉Congratulations & keep it up! 👍

Introducing Tony, our Assistant Manager at Town Pump Bozeman #5, who's been flexing 💪 his customer service muscles for 5 awesome months! Just look at that forearm – it's clearly almost as strong as his dedication to making our customers' days a little brighter! 😉

When he's not busy keeping our shelves stocked and our customers smiling, you might just find Tony chasing down some fresh pow, hitting the trails with his furry pals, or showing off the beauty of Montana to friends and family like the true Montana ambassador he is! ⛰️🐕⛷️

Tony says his favorite part of the job is "the people," and according to recent reports, the people couldn't agree more! Rumor has it that Tony's infectious enthusiasm and positive attitude make him a joy to work with. 🎉

Looks like we won't need to invest in any extra personality development training because Tony clearly has enough personality to go around. Tony, we're stoked to have you on scene and taking care of the store and its people!

Not only is this the first time we've shone the spotlight on an employee from one of our Stone House Coffee Shots locations, it's also the first time we've had the pleasure of sharing that said employee's list of hobbies includes mention of demanding donkeys. 🫏

Becky runs the show at our Stone House Coffee Shots in Three Forks. She is a dynamo whose reputation precedes her. Stacey, the District Manager who oversees the Three Forks store had a lot of nice things to say about Becky, calling her the backbone of the coffee shop.

Next time you're in Three Forks, pop in to the Town Pump and visit the Stone House Coffee Shots. Chat with Becky about your favorite coffee, lotus, frappe, or Red Bull infusion drink and ask after her menagerie of furry farmland friends. (Honestly, we're very eager to learn what the donkey's name is.)

Thanks for all your hustle, Becky. We appreciate you and all you do to ensure our customers have a 5-star coffee shop experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Zooming 🏎️ over to Billings 13 for this week's employee spotlight, where we are thrilled to introduce you to Co-Manager Kelly.

Nominated by Store GM Kimberly, Kelly is a dynamo who's always up for a challenge. She even points out that troubleshooting is among her favorite parts of her job. It's a busy store, so it's a good thing Kelly likes a fast-paced environment. 🏁

When she's not lighting up the vibes in the store, Kelly might just be baking or cooking with her toddler, and (hopefully in warmer seasons) camping with the whole fam.

Kelly, thanks for your willingness to hop in and help out however! Your upbeat attitude is amazing and we are so looking forward to watching your next career moves in your Town Pump journey. 💗

Meet Dick, Cooler King of Billings! 👑

This dedicated Grocery Merchandiser at our Billings 3 location has been wowing everyone with his cooler-stocking skills for about a year now. Dick always arrives ready to work and is a true team player, making scheduling a breeze. He's got a knack for keeping the coolers stocked and organized, which is no easy feat!

When he's not putting in the hours and making the store look awesome, you can find Dick on the golf course, aiming for a strike at the bowling alley, or cruising the trails on his ATV.

Dick is a favorite among his coworkers, vendors, customers, and even delivery drivers! Dawn nominated Dick for the spotlight, and we'd like to echo her appreciation now. Thanks for all you do, Dick! We appreciate your hard work and positive attitude!
