Redner’s Warehouse Market is an important business anchor in Shenandoah with a strong commitment to the local community. This family and employee-owned business has grown and expanded throughout the years, but the foundation that Redner’s was built on remains the same, “to create rewarding experiences by being a great place to shop and work.” Even though the company now has multiple locations, they treat each one like a small business.
This culture trickles down from the Redner’s family and into the communities they serve. Eric White, Director of Marketing & Communications for Redner’s has worked for the organization since 1999. He explained that Redner’s is employee-owned, giving everyone who works there a stake in the company’s success. “This allows everyone in every position to take pride in our work and value the team effort. We need to make sure we are looking our best every day. Ownership gives everyone a sense of pride,” he said. Eric added that Redner’s philosophy is to do things the right way, which makes his more than 20 plus year career very enjoyable.
Just like Eric, many of his colleagues have worked for Redner’s for many years. “When you work for a company that truly values its employees and considers each one like family, you stick around for good reason,” he explained. Redner’s commitment to its employees carries over into the communities it serves, including Shenandoah. They are very generous and continually support nonprofit organizations, churches, schools, firehouses, and other groups in a variety of ways.
“Downtown Shenandoah, Inc. (DSI) can always depend on Redner’s to sponsor fundraising events and support our mission to revitalize our community,” said Susan Williams, DSI’s Executive Director. “They are a pleasure to work with and it is inspiring to know they have our community members’ best interests at heart. Thank you, Redner’s for all you do.” Susan also shared that Redner’s generously donated to The Center for Education, Business and the Arts (CEBA)’s capital campaign reinforcing their commitment to Shenandoah’s future. They understand that projects like CEBA will create positive change for our area. “When our small communities are vibrant and successful, everyone benefits," said Eric. “Shenandoah is a tight-knit community and we want to see the downtown and surrounding communities in Schuylkill County thrive. We will continue to support this county to keep the economy moving in the right direction. It will only spell success for everyone,” he added.
