Employee Spotlight

Meet Shawn Cohee
Employee Spotlight June 2025

This month’s Employee Spotlight employee was selected because as Kevan Brown, his store director says, he has remarkable flexibility in the store. Shawn Cohee works in our grocery department but also can work in produce, cut fruit, deli and café departments. He works productively and completes tasks quickly without compromising the quality of his work. Shawn joined the Neiman’s Family Market team as part of the talented Wingert’s employees in September of 2023.  He enjoys both, the proximity of the store making it a short walking commute to work and his co-workers.

Growing up in his hometown of Saginaw, Michigan he had the nickname “Porky”. When he was a kid Shawn wanted to be a Ninja and his favorite memory is buying all the ninja toys, back then his favorite toys were Ninja Turtles. Anyone else see a theme here? 

Shawn is not a fan of enchiladas, in fact they are his least favorite food.  The weirdest thing he has ever eaten is Chocolate Covered Scorpions and we agree that is, well, weird. Although, we also agree with him when he says he will eat anything covered in chocolate, yum. Shawn’s favorite cereal is Peanut Butter Cap N’ Crunch.

The last book Shawn read was Hyrule Compendium (encyclopedia of Zelda). If you want to go to a show with Shawn be ready for a Jim Carry movie because he really likes him and his two favorites are The Mask and Ace Ventura. Sounds like a great double feature to us.

Shawn went camping in the middle of the Ozarks and that is the best place he has traveled to, he loved the mountains. He is also a “secret” fan of Pokémon, his favorite is Wartortle and he enjoys painting miniatures from Herd Scape. Shawn is not into sports but loves working out at the gym. Shawn has a cat that likes…toes. He calls her “Cat” but his sister calls her Zelda.

Shawn is well known for his dependability and readiness to work hard and we appreciate all he does for Neiman’s Family Market and our customers.

Next time you are in Mayville, say HI to Shawn and his co-workers, they do great things for us all and make the store the special place it is to shop!
