SALISBURY, N.C., Feb. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Food Lion Family and Bloom recently recognized Scott Brinson as the recipient of the 2010 Store Manager Excellence Award. Brinson, who is the store manager of Food Lion located at 2200 Gumbranch Road in Jacksonville, N.C., was selected from a group of seven other market/banner winners.
"There were other people who could have won it, but I guess I was the lucky one this year," Brinson said. "It is a humbling experience for me because this is such a prestigious award."
The Store Manager Excellence Awards are a key part of Food Lion Family's and Bloom's efforts to acknowledge the critical leadership role store managers play in keeping the company successful. Food Lion Family President Cathy Green Burns presented Brinson with the award earlier this week during the company's Leadership Summit.
Brinson has worked with Food Lion for 19 years, with nine of those as store manager. He resides in Richland, N.C., with his wife, Crystal and their two children Addison and Atticus.
"Scott sets a very high standard for his store," said Brinson's District Manager Chris Whaley. "Scott does a great job in motivating his associates to achieve greatness in all that they do. He uses a common sense approach to his business to achieve positive outcome."
The Store Manager Excellence Award selection includes nine areas of focus, including associate development, leadership, strategic decision-making, cross-organizational collaboration and teamwork, executional excellence, extraordinary results, great customer experiences, community involvement and diversity and inclusion.
