Employee Spotlight

Meet Theresa Andes

Theresa is our Assistant Grocery Manager at the Tawas store, joining our team in June of 2024.  She enjoys that with her job she gets to work all over the store and do many jobs, as well as, work with everyone. Her proudest moments at Neiman’s is learning bits and pieces of each  department including maintenance. 

Theresa grew up in little farm town between Flint and Saginaw called New Lothrop. Perhaps  that is where she ate the weirdest thing she ever tried, pickled beef tongue. If she could eat one meal every day for the rest of her life it would be pasta, we are not sure if pickled beef tongue  was a close second or if she never wants to eat again! Although, in the mornings she would  most likely still want her favorite cereal, Lucky Charms. 

Surrounding Theresa is her family of 2 sisters, 4 step siblings, her fiancé Allen and her one year  old daughter Ava. She has many pets, 4 dogs named Buddy, Bo, Luke and Naomi plus a cat  named Chico. The favorite place she has traveled to, is Michigan’s Upper Peninsula because of  its beauty and peacefulness. Sometimes we miss the treasures we have in our own state, if you  haven’t taken a trip to the UP, take Theresa’s advice and experience it, you won’t be  disappointed. Teresa also enjoys softball and if she won the lottery would buy a house or a  new car. Guess what movie her favorite quote comes from) see below… 

“That ain’t no Etch-a-Sketch home skillet, this is one doodle that can’t be undid.” 

Ray Shelly, Tawas store director, shared that since the day Theresa joined the team “she has  been a sponge, learning and absorbing anything we can teach her, from maintenance, ordering,  scanning, and operations of each department in the store. Her goal is to sit in my chair one day!!” Keep up the great work Theresa, we know you will do great things! 

We appreciate and thank you Theresa, all our employees in Tawas and all Neiman’s  Family Market stores, for everything you do for our customers and each other!
