Employee Spotlight

Melissa “Missy” Johnson
Employee Spotlight August 2026

At Neiman’s Family Market, we are proud to recognize our employees for their customer
service, teamwork, and excellence. This month, we are shining the spotlight on Melissa
‘Missy’ Johnson, Bakery Manager at our Tawas location. Missy has been part of the
Neiman’s Family Market family since 2010 and has served as our Bakery Manager since

Store Director Marty Rogers nominated Missy noting her incredible talent, and her
organization, dependability, and dedication to both her coworkers and customers. Marty
describes Missy as a true team player who goes above and beyond to support her
department and provide exceptional service.

As a child, Missy dreamed of becoming a teacher, and she continues that passion every day
at Neiman’s. One of her greatest strengths is training team members. Growing up, Missy
split her time between Lincoln, Michigan, and Monticello, Florida, traveling back and forth
with her family. Her first concert was Metallica in Denver, Colorado, and if she could travel
anywhere in the world, she would choose a stay in one of Bora Bora’s famous overwater
villas. If she ever won the lottery, her dream would be to purchase property in the country
and try her hand at homesteading.

Missy is passionate about bakery creations, but sushi is one thing she happily skips, and a
jar of pickles are the oldest thing in her fridge, so she might not like those either. If she
could eat one meal every day, it would be tacos, and her favorite cereal is Lucky Charms. On
her days off, you can find her enjoying her favorite movie, Burlesque, reading books by her
favorite author, Tessa Bailey, working on jigsaw puzzles, or spending time with her family.
Family is an important part of Missy’s life. Along with her husband and four children, her
household includes two dogs, two cats, and five ferrets. Even more exciting, Missy and her
family are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their fifth child, expected any day now. Please join
us in congratulating Missy and wishing her family all the best as they welcome this
wonderful new addition!

We are grateful for everything Missy brings to Neiman’s Family Market. She exemplifies
what it means to be part of the Neiman’s family. Missy, along with all of our employees,
represents the very best of the grocery industry, and we sincerely appreciate all they do
every day. Congratulations, Missy, and thank you for being such an important part of
the Neiman’s Family Market team!
