Andy Klos is taking on more responsibility. Previously Andy was store manager of the O'Fallon store, and now he is adding to his responsibilities as general manager of not only the O'Fallon store but the Troy and Godfrey stores as well.

He has been with Market Basket for 11 years, starting in the Edwardsville meat department. After graduating from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, in 2002 with a degree in business management and marketing, Andy left Market Basket to join a management training program with another grocery chain, but he missed Market Basket's culture and customers. So Jason Stevens hired Andy and taught him the landscape/ garden business. When the O'Fallon garden and landscape store opened, Andy jumped at the opportunity to run it.

With a great team at each location, Andy says it comes down to providing customers with excellent service and a knowledgeable staff to help. Andy makes sure he has the right product at the right time for his customers. He says, "We differ from big box stores because we offer personal service, knowledgeable staff and excellent product choices for our customers."

He does whatever it takes to get the job done. "I'm a problem solver," he says. "Give me a good challenge, and I'll figure out how to keep my staff motivated and customers happy."
