As you know, challenging retail environments demand more attention to detailed creative ideas for better retailing experiences and teamwork. To insure we are doing our very best to make the most of the opportunities which lie ahead of us, we have been very selective in looking for the very best individuals to join our team. From weddings and special events to our outreach programs with various organizations, it takes people to make it work. It also takes heart and dedication to make it successful! I would like to take this opportunity to announce and welcome the following employees to the Beneva family.
