Family Express of Valparaiso, Indiana, is celebrating the first of its modularized, masonry buildings opening its doors in Ligonier, Indiana.
Family Express teammates handed out fresh carnations to customers. The public was treated to their choice of items from the Proprietary Cravin’s-To-Order kitchen and a complimentary Car Wash.
“We are in the business of building relationships with communities, co-workers, and the public. When we open our doors in a community that is not familiar with our Legacy of Customer Service, we give them a sample of our overall engagement as to underline our assertion that we are not a gas station,” said Gus Olympidis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Family Express Corp.
This is the first of four FE stores that are scheduled to open before the end of the year and a part of the Company’s 50th Anniversary Celebration.
Family Express was founded in Valparaiso in 1975, and it operates stores throughout Indiana.
The Company has been awarded multiple awards in the convenience store industry, such as Convenience Store Chain of the Year, Technology Leader of the Year, and tops in Customer Service in North America.
Family Express is characterized by a unique labor force that it calls the “Living Brand.” The Company screens fifty prospects in search of each, right person.
