The President has entered the building…🔨 You

The President has entered the building…🔨

You may have seen her a bit on our feed this past year, but we’d like to officially introduce the President of Freshco, Shauna Lenius - aka “Vanna,” aka “Sh*t-face,” aka ‘Firefly.” And yeah - if you guessed that @mandyrennehan was the one who nicknamed her Sh*tface - you were right. 😂We’ll explain it later…

The pandemic has been a pretty bumpy ride at times for retail. Enter Shauna: like steak to a frying pan she came on board and sizzled her way through lockdowns, closures, and every other sh*tstorm that got thrown at us, and somehow managed to cook up some seriously juicy new contracts for us with several MAJOR retail brands over the last year. She’s the Fast to our Furious, the Spice to our Chili… Our prez is on FIRE! 🔥🔥🔥

Head on over to @shaunalenius and give her a follow - maybe turn your smoke alarms off first though? 💨

Sidenote: Classic 90’s hip hop #walkup songs just make life more fun. So yeah, its #pimpjuice. Those who know, know. 😉

We would live in a very thirsty, very dysfunctiona

We would live in a very thirsty, very dysfunctional and dirty world if we didn’t have plumbers.

If you can take a shower, get a glass of water from your tap, or flush a toilet, count yourself lucky that there are plumbers working where you live to install and maintain the systems that provide you with all those necessities. 🪠

World Plumbing Day is meant to bring awareness to the fact that plumbing and plumbers are first of all - ESSENTIAL in protecting public health and providing access to clean water and sanitation facilities. Secondly - plumbers are just plain AWESOME. And thirdly, plumbers are SEXY AF 🔥🔥🔥!!!

We need more plumbers on the job - especially when 6 IN 10 people (4.5 BILLION worldwide) lack safely managed sanitation, and 3 IN 10 people (2.1 BILLION worldwide) lack access to safe drinking water at home.

Plumbing is a challenging, interesting and lucrative career choice, and as our cities grow and many of the existing water systems age - there is HUGE opportunity in this field.

Walking through the mall or down a major shopping

Walking through the mall or down a major shopping street always gives us chills… Why? Because we help keep the world’s iconic retail stores running smoothly and looking FRESH, 24-7.

Our job as a retail facility maintenance provider is simple: make sure that the FUNCTION of these iconic retail stores is on par with the high standards the brands have created for themselves and their customers.So when their HVAC goes on the fritz, or their bathroom plumbing acts up, or their windows get cracked, or their floors need a refresh: we’re there to take care of everything before the doors open the next day. We’re kinda like ninjas… with hammers. 🔨 ❤️

Next time you’re in a store and you notice everything looks good and works properly - we probably did that. 😎 How cool is that?

Forget Marvel movies - the real superheroes are right here with us in plain sight, day in and day out. 💪🏻

Celebrating the social, cultural, economic and political impact of women is something we do here EVERY day at Freshco. There are so many incredible, kicka$$ women in our lives that deserve a shout out - one day is simply not enough to truly honour them. That being said, we asked our people if they had any stories to tell about the superheroes in their lives, the everyday “WonderWomen” that deserve a special mention this International Women’s Day.

Tell us in the comments, who is your #wonderwoman? Could be a colleague, a friend or family member, or a public figure who has left an impression on you!

Love your partner, love your friend, love your neighbour... Love whoever you want to love - but most importantly: LOVE YOURSELF. 💕

Yeahhh... we may look tough here at Freshco but we like the gushy love stuff too! 😆 Whether you observe this day or not, here’s to LOVE in all its forms! 💝

There would be no “construction industry” on t

There would be no “construction industry” on this continent without Black people. Freshco acknowledges and honors the enslaved African people who were brought to the Americas in the 1500’s, whose forced labor funded and built most of the major cities of the eastern seaboard - including New York, Washington, and in Canada the territories that would eventually become Quebec and Ontario.

Enslaved black people cleared forests, unloaded ships, built roads, laid the first bricks and planted and harvested the lucrative crops that would make our nations wealthy. They were skilled tradespeople before there were any guilds or labor unions - organizations that would unfairly and systematically block the membership of black people for many years and are part of the reason we have a diverse tradespeople shortage to this day.

The White House, The Capitol Building, Wall Street - all landmarks built by black people. The skill and craftsmanship that went into these buildings is proved by their longevity. We honor and thank those many unnamed, uncredited black tradespeople for passing on their knowledge, we support and encourage any BIPOC people out there considering the trades as a career, and we are committed to breaking down the barriers faced by this community in our industry.

Slide 3: Black women at a metallurgical factory, 1919.
Slide 4: Rev. Jesse Jackson protesting discrimination in Trades unions, 1969.

Things you should know if you invite me to speak at a black tie gala... 🤵🏻

I will bring my INCREDIBLE @freshco_inc team and they will probably be the rowdiest people in the room. 🥳

I will be using sentence enhancing words... Well for sh*t’s sake if you weren’t ready for that F bomb, that’s on you - what else did you expect from me!?! 😂

I will always tell it like it is - respectfully uncensored. 😇

Thank you to @dschuurman73 and @thecglcc for giving me the opportunity to speak to our community about things that truly matter right now. We’ve got to support one another, challenge one another to do MORE and do BETTER... and we really, REALLY need a few cocktails and a chance to dance while a drag queen lip syncs to Celine Dion once in a while! 🕺🏻 DON’T STOP US NOW!!!

I wish every day could be Jill of All Trades day…

I was SO inspired by all of the kicka$$ young people I met last week @conestogacollege. I mean look at what all of you were doing!! You were laying brick, welding metal, operating forklifts… What a bunch of rockstars you all are!! 🛠 🔥 👷🏼

If there’s anything I want you to take away from that day it’s this: You have an opportunity before you. Don’t let it pass you by, and don’t be afraid of it. Just get in there and BE YOURSELF. My generation kicked down the door of this industry to get us inside, now it’s YOUR job to walk THROUGH that open door, and blow all the windows out of the place to let allll that old STANK out of it. If I was the lightning - then you are the THUNDER!!! Let’s show the world that there is a place for EVERYONE in the skilled trades. Ready… Set… BOOM!!!⚡️💥
