| Brett Smith, Bakery Team Leader - Whole Foods Market |
Brett Smith is Whole Foods Market's Bakery team leader at the West Paces Ferry store in Atlanta, which is part of the South Region spanning Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and North and South Carolina. He manages a wonderful team of professionals who prepare all-natural products in-house and also feature and support local vendors all year around. Every product, whether in-house or from local vendors adheres to Whole Foods' strict quality standards and use only all-natural ingredients.
Whole Foods Market has seven stores in the Atlanta area, and each bakery refines its product mix and merchandising to appeal to its local customers. That's what gives each bakery its unique flair.
To keep current with its dynamic demographics and economies, each region's bakery team leaders (bakery managers) regularly test product categories and production procedures.
Just as important, most of the new ideas come from Whole Foods' team members because they are deeply interested in bakery and its products.
These team members take food seriously, and their collective creativity brings a lot of value to their customers. They are outgoing ‘foodies,’ people who show a passion for food and eagerly express it. This goes a long way to getting team members who look forward to tasting products, helping customers and explaining the bakery's products.
It is delightful to work with Brett and his team!
