Meet Ricky Krier
|
We recently welcomed Ricky back to Bringhurst after a 7-year absence! Born in Minneapolis, his family moved to Sicklerville when he was 6 years old. It wasn’t long before he became familiar with the butcher shop. “I was introduced to Bringhurst because my mom and dad used to come here shopping every Saturday when I was young. Later, my brother joined a bowling team with Jeff Bringhurst and some of the other guys who work here”. That connection later led to a job.
Ricky joined the Bringhurst team when he was 15, starting on the clean-up crew and becoming a butcher-apprentice when he turned 18. He remembers how friendly and welcoming the butchers were. “Every morning they would congregate in the back room, cooking breakfast, making coffee, and having fellowship before they went out to start the work day. It left a good impression on me”. He left in 1988 to pursue other interests, returned in 1992, left again in 2012, and came back for his 3rd stint this year. He had most recently been working for another south jersey butcher shop. |

Ricky sees similarities in today’s Bringhurst and the one he worked for in the eighties. ”Then and now we have friendly employees who care about the customer, and a family atmosphere that you don’t find everywhere. In fact, I’ve worked at places that are the complete opposite.”
When Ricky is not working he enjoys spending time with his twin 10-year-old sons. They’re very involved in sports, which keeps him plenty busy. They all enjoy the outdoors and frequently go hiking in the nearby woods, feeding the deer and observing the wild turkeys. They’re also serious Phillies fans. (Ricky boldly predicts 90 wins this season, so we should at least secure a wildcard spot.)
To those of you who may be new to Bringhurst, here’s what Ricky wants you to know: “ We’re all here to serve you, and to make your visit a memorable one. If you want something you don’t’ see, just ask. We’ll be more than happy to help you out however we can.”
He’s right; we are happy to help our customers however we can. We’re also happy to have Ricky back on the team.
