Having made plenty of bad choices in her youth, Jacklyn knows the value of personal choices and our ability to control our destiny. Admittedly, having lived a tough life in her youth, Jacklyn has used her personal recovery to shape her personal life. She brings the value of discipline, kindness and direct communication for her c-store operations. She values hard work, being dependable, and having the ability to give back to her community.
‘If you don’t have anything nice to say, then keep quiet. But… we must find ways to deliver necessary feedback in a caring manner.’
Jacklyn, Garrison Food Mart #7
C-Store Community Focus
Her store is a big part of a small community. Memphis, Texas is the 2500-person center of the agricultural area. As with all Garrison stores, Food Mart #7 is an active community member that is focused on serving the families of their staff and their communities. The clients include young school kids and senior citizens. The experienced members of town, visit on a regular basis. They use the store as a meeting place to catch up, and keep up with the town, as well as to enjoy the convenience of things they need. Naturally, the store and its customers support the local school sports and other events.
Jacklyn loves to have the chance to serve. She believes kindness is the main characteristic that makes her store special. Kindness, however, does not replace discipline, dependability, and the responsibility to make reliable choices in terms of work attendance and customer service.
