John and Tamara love owning their own store and being partners with Grocery Outlet. They enjoy the freedom and opportunity that comes with owning their own store. The couple is thankful that they are able to contribute to their community. They sponsor the Summit Church, right next to the store. They also support non-profit organizations such as Mothers of Pre-School Children, the Enumclaw Food Bank, and Women of the Word. John and Tamara support the community that has given so much to them, but they don’t stop there! They also support to their customer’s in any way they can. A while ago a regular customer came in to the store for her weekly groceries. At the time John and Tamara were auctioning off a basketball hoop. The woman, who was a new single mother supporting herself and her children, was running low on money and wanted to give her children something special. After discovering this, John took the basketball hoop off the auction board and gave it to the woman for her children. She was surprised and they were happy to help.
