Help us celebrate Ken! 💚
This fall, our longtime Produce Manager, Ken Marske, will be retiring after decades of hard work, dedication, and care for Economart and our community.
Ken has been part of the Schmitz organization since the SuperValu days of the 1980s, eventually returning to Spooner and making our produce department his home away from home.
Over the years at Economart, Ken has brought knowledge, deep care, a friendly smile, and the kind of dedication you only get from someone who truly takes pride in what they do.
This fall, Ken will be hanging up his Produce Manager hat and heading into a well-earned retirement. We’re incredibly grateful for all the years he’s given to our store and community, and we know his familiar face and steady presence will be missed by customers and coworkers alike.
Thank you, Ken, for taking such good care of Economart and the people who walk through our doors. We hope retirement brings plenty of time for family, friends, and all the good things that make life in the Northwoods special. 🌲
If you’ve gotten to know Ken over the years, help us send him off with some love! Share a favorite memory, a thank-you, or your retirement wishes in the comments below. 👇 🥳
