Over the course of his retail career, Eric received several awards for his community involvement.

She participated in and sponsored numerous community events throughout the Inland Empire and was recognized with a District Leadership award for building and developing a team on multiple sites, and providing excellent customer service.
As owners of the new Grocery Outlet in Grand Terrace, Eric and Priscilla look forward to serving the community where their journey as a couple first began, amongst its residents, family, and friends. They have participated in community events such as Grand Terrace Community Day, Light Up Grand Terrace Christmas Event, and Santa Claus Toy Drive Cruise, and donate weekly to local food banks and community organizations such as Sick N’ Tired Recovery Home.
Just recently, the couple were featured speakers at the Grand Terrace Chamber of Commerce Mixer where they shared their vision to serve the community. As chamber members, and participating in community events, they have started out with a firm commitment to providing outstanding customer service and to making an impact in the community with Grocery Outlet’s mission of “touching lives for the better.”
“We are excited to partner with the city to do more for the community,” said Priscilla. “We are excited about the launch of our Chamber of commerce and are gearing up for the year ahead.”
