Like many of Grebe’s dedicated team members, Liz has been with the company for 25 years! She started while still in high school, working part-time in our office, and stayed on while she worked her way through college. As her skill sets advanced, so did her role at the company, and she was eventually promoted to buyer as well as assistant to Jim Jr. and later to Brandon.  Liz currently fills dual roles as Branding & Marketing/Purchasing Manager. 

“I’d describe myself as knowing a little bit about a lot of things here. I can’t answer every question, but I can usually point you in the right direction to get the answer, and I’m happy to help out wherever I can – whether it’s administrative or helping to get the donuts out the door. In a small business, you learn to wear many hats and it’s fun to step out of your box for a bit.”

After being a part of the business for so many years, Liz has seen a lot of growth:

“I started at the tail-end of the bakery’s second generation and have enjoyed watching the progress we’ve made as team. It’s really satisfying to see the hard work that’s been put in paying off – especially the efforts toward creating a culture of teamwork & inclusivity.”

Liz’s favorite thing about Grebe’s? The camaraderie.

“I’m working in an environment where I’ve known many of the people for more than half my life. I’ve built a lot of meaningful relationships at the bakery, and I’ve seen so many incredible people pass through these doors. It really is a family atmosphere, and it’s refreshing to know that the “Grebes behind Grebe’s” want the very best for their team.  

Oh! And the crullers – can’t forget the crullers!”
