Adam Kellert

Proudly Serving: Sobeys Edmonton Office, AB

Position: Retail Full Service Specialist

Core Value: Get it Done with Passion and Integrity

Adam values the relationships and friendships he has made over the course of his career. “The meat and seafood teams have been very family oriented,” says Adam. One of those friendships was with Christopher Petrie, an IGA produce specialist who passed away suddenly this past spring. “Chris was at the table when I applied for this job and we became friends way back.” When Chris died, Adam helped to organize a celebration of his life, arranging to hold it in the Town Hall at Sobeys offices and contacting Chris’s high school friends to gather old photos to display. Although he is proud to have been chosen as a Value Champion, the honour is very bittersweet. “Chris was loyal, supportive and unselfish,” says Adam. “Passion and integrity described him and he had a work ethic that was unmatched. On the personal side, you couldn’t ask for a better friend. He’d listen as much as he would talk. It was a tough loss.”
