Meet Ben Harrison
 Service Clerk in Tawas

Ben has worked as a Service Clerk at our Tawas store since June of 2025. Store Director, Marty Rogers, nominated Ben because of the outstanding work he does, always staying busy and finding productive things to do when at work. Getting carts, taking care of bottles, bagging groceries, cleaning, moping, putting products away, you never see Ben standing around looking for things to do. Not only that he has a positive, will do attitude that is very much appreciated by all his co-workers. Ben enjoys being mobile while working and that everyone at Neiman’s is so nice.

A senior at Tawas Area High School, Ben moved to Tawas at the age of 8 from Cadillac, Michigan. He lives with his parents and two younger siblings, Reese and Lucas who are twins and his two dogs, golden doodle, Withers, and golden retriever, Ralphey. That sounds like a fun and very busy household!  As a kid Ben’s favorite toy was Legos and he wanted to be a Rocket Scientist. These days Ben enjoys baking, one of his favorites is cheesecake and if you have been lucky enough to sample one of his goodies, you are very lucky indeed! The one meal he would eat for the rest of his life is pizza, favorite cereal is Captain Crunch, both very tasty.  The weirdest thing Ben has eaten is Sour Cheese, does sound a bit odd and his least favorite is seafood, all except for salmon of course.

A movie night for Ben would most likely include his favorite, The Mandalorian and Grogu and you might hear him quote Wreck it Ralph “There’s no one I’d rather be…than me”, that sounds like a quote to live by. Ben also enjoys reading and last read “All the Light We Cannot See” and his favorite sport is hockey. Ben’s hidden talent is being a good listener, appreciated by friends, family and co-workers for sure. Time is Ben’s greatest fear, which is something we can relate to on many different levels. Ben has traveled to different places but the best he has traveled is Yellowstone National Park because he likes learning about geography. If he won the lottery the first thing Ben would buy is joint stocks or real estate. If Ben could have one superpower it would be telekinesis, being able to move, change or manipulate objects.  We think that could come in handy as a service clerk!

We appreciate Ben and are so grateful for all he brings to Neiman’s Family Market, representing what it means to be Neiman’s employee. When you are in Tawas take a minute to say HI to Ben and all the amazing employees there and all our Neiman’s Family Market employees.

Congratulations & Thank You to Ben and all the great people that work at Neiman’s Family Market!!
