We couldn’t be prouder of Rebecca Gregory, our incredibly talented Category Manager, who took the stage yesterday at NACS to share her insights on the dos and don'ts of category management. 🌟 Her knowledge and leadership continue to inspire not only our team at Weigel's but also others across the industry.

At Weigel’s, we believe that our role in the community goes far beyond the products we offer. It’s about being there for our neighbors, especially in times of crisis. Recently, the communities in Eastern Tennessee and North Carolina were hit hard by a devastating hurricane, leaving many in need of immediate assistance. In response, Weigel’s partnered with Eagle Distributing and Heath, the Feed Division Manager of Smoky Mountain Farmers Co-op, and his incredible team, stepped up to support those affected by donating 8,200 gallons of fuel—both diesel and unleaded. This fuel is critical to powering emergency services, relief efforts, and helping residents begin the recovery process. We’ve been a part of these communities for years, and in moments like these, we are reminded of the importance of standing together. Whether it’s through providing essential goods or offering direct support in the face of a disaster, Weigel’s is here for the people who count on us. No matter where our stores are located or where disaster strikes, we remain committed to giving back to the communities that have welcomed us into their lives. At Weigel’s, caring for the communities we serve is at the heart of everything we do. From local charity support to disaster relief, we understand that our true success is measured by the difference we make in the lives of those around us. We are proud to stand alongside the residents of Eastern Tennessee and North Carolina as they rebuild and recover, and we will continue to provide assistance whenever and wherever it’s needed. Together, we can overcome any challenge.

We're thrilled to announce the promotion of three incredible team members who have stepped up into new leadership roles: 👏 Callie Hickey has been promoted to Assistant Store Leader (ASL)—her dedication and leadership are truly inspiring, and we're excited to see all the amazing things she'll continue to achieve in this role! 👏 Samantha Dukes has taken the helm as the Team Leader at Store 96. Her hard work and commitment to excellence have earned her this well-deserved promotion! 👏 Tasha Goins is now the Team Leader at Store 57. Her passion for the Weigel's community and drive for success make her a perfect fit for this role. We couldn’t be more proud of these amazing leaders. Congratulations to Callie, Samantha, and Tasha! 🎉 Keep up the great work!

🏌️♂️⛳ What an incredible day at Weigel's Annual Golf Tournament! On September 13, we came together with over 280 golfers, including our amazing vendor partners, and raised more than $150,000 for the Weigel's Foundation! 🙌 These funds will go directly to benefit numerous charities across East Tennessee, making a real impact in the community we love. Huge thanks to everyone who participated, sponsored, and supported this event. Your dedication continues to drive our mission forward, and we couldn’t be prouder of the difference we’re making together!
