Heart of Bob’s: October 2019

There are so many dedicated Bob’s employees throughout the country who work tirelessly every day to serve you. I have heard multiple stories throughout the years of employees going above and beyond to serve a customer or a fellow employee. These stories really melt my heart and to honor these employees I created the “Heart of Bob’s” award.

The “Heart of Bob’s” recognizes and shares the human stories of selfless acts that exemplify The Bob’s Way and stand as a model of behavior to be admired and appreciated. 

Every quarter I honor a select group of employees. These employees are presented with a crystal Heart of Bob’s award during a ceremony in their honor. 

Here are the most recent Heart of Bob’s honorees:

The team in Latham, NY created a special holiday season for a customer and their family

The Heart of Bob’s was sighted in Latham, NY. Laurie DeWolf, Roger Livingston, and the entire store staff created a special holiday season for a Bob’s customer and their family. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Laurie read the card from a grateful family whose life was made a little easier by a group of caring people. For their unselfish acts of kindness and generosity, Team Latham is awarded This Heart of Bob’s.

The Heart of Bob’s is alive and well in Wilmington, Delaware.

For their generosity and commitment to their community, Team Wilmington is awarded this Heart of Bob’s.

I consider myself the luckiest spokespuppet ever because I get to talk about the thing I love the most everyday – furniture! Tufted headboards, rustic finishes, the difference between a sofa and a couch (yes, there is a difference)… I could go on and on. Oh, I just love furniture and I’m SO excited that I have this blog to share my passion with you! It may take me a little longer to create posts – have you ever tried typing with clay hands – but I look forward to talking furniture with you!
