Engagement Day at Smart & Final

Dave Hirz, CEO of Smart & Final, rolls up his sleeves to restock the shelves, and creates and packages brownies too, as part of the company’s Engagement Day — the day all employees, ranging from regional managers to C-level executives, provide hands-on support to meet the needs of Fourth of July shoppers. Hirz also spent part of the day Friday checking out customers, gathering shopping carts in the parking lot and returning to his roots as a bag boy at one of the non-membership warehouse stores in Burbank, Calif.
