A Surprise Promotion!

It was an honor to meet Store Manager Adrias and his team last month at Store 3205 in Lithia Springs, GA. As the whole team walked me through the store sharing all the things they’re doing and how they’re showing up for their community, one thing was clear: they truly OWN their business. Adrias has built a culture where everyone is engaged and invested in the work they’re doing, and proud to impact their community. When I told Nick Berkeley I wanted to talk about my visit with all our store managers at our Year Beginning Meeting (YBM), the timing was perfect – Nick was already planning to promote Adrias to Market Manager the next day!

Adrias joined me on The Huddle after that special moment in Houston. He talked about starting his journey with Walmart as a cart pusher 22 years ago, and his advice for turning a job into a successful career. We also talked about building a team and culture that showcases what taking ownership looks like.

There is so much opportunity at Walmart, and Adrias is a perfect example of all that’s possible here! I’m excited to see all he’ll accomplish in his new role as he continues inspiring others to make a difference each day. Congratulations!
