Tony and Tina Slyter are dual-store operators of the King City and
Newberg Grocery Outlets. Tony and Tina have been operators at the store
since 2008. After Grocery Outlet Inc. recruited the couple, the two
assessed the opportunity and realized Grocery Outlet was the perfect
chance for them to make independent decisions regarding their own
business.
Tony and Tina love the fact that they are able to give back to their
community through Grocery Outlet. The store is a huge sponsor of the
local schools, churches, and food banks, which give to the less
fortunate.
Tony and Tina take responsibility for helping the less fortunate.
Recently, a homeless man walked into their store and stole soap and
razor blades. Tony caught up with the man outside of the store and took
the time to talk with him and listen to the struggles he was going
through. After that, Tony took the man inside and bought him the soap
and razors. The man cried at the couple’s kindness and their desire to
help.
It is actions like this that set Tony and Tina’s store apart from the
rest. They want every customer to know that their shopping experience is
going to be unforgettable and that once they walk into their Grocery
Outlet, they are family.
