Guest Quote

I never felt that facilities has the attention it deserves, having the impact it could have on a location. It's always more reactive.…it then impacts the stores, it impacts morale, that it’s not [seen as] important enough for the facilities team to have a seat at the table on decision making." - Nick Ammaturo
