Green Bay, Wisconsin-based Festival Foods is increasing its employee discount to 15 percent. It is available to all workers, along with members of their immediate households.
“We want to help our teammates stretch their dollars when it comes to buying the groceries they need to feed themselves and their families,” said Mark Skogen, president and CEO. “A higher discount frees up some crucial dollars so they can use them on other areas of their budgets.”
The retailer, which previously offered a 10 percent discount, said the savings are good on full price and sale items. Employee purchases also add up to gas savings as for every $10 spent at Festival Foods, employees and their families can earn a penny off fuel purchases at Kwik Trip locations through participation in the Festival Foods Gas Rewards Program.
“We are thrilled to increase our discount and give our team members – who are the foundation of our success – another reason to love working for a winning Wisconsin retailer,” Skogen said.
“Right now, many companies are looking to cut costs and that often means reducing or eliminating the associate discount – we wanted to go in a different direction.”
Festival Foods, which began in 1946 in a 3,000-square-foot store in Onalaska, Wisconsin, will be opening its next store in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, later this year.
Founded in 1946 as Skogen’s IGA, Festival Foods is a family- and employee-owned grocer. The company, which began operating as Festival Foods in 1990, employs more than 8,000 full- and part-time workers and operates 40 full-service supermarkets across the state of Wisconsin.
