One thing we’ve learned since opening Shug’s: it’s the people who make the place.
Last week, we said goodbye to a very special part of our team, Marcela, as she retired and moved back home to Peru. She was one of our very first team members, working in prep at Mockingbird before later joining the Lemmon location, and over the years she brought so many of her family members to work with us, many of whom are still part of our team today.
If you’ve ever enjoyed a sandwich from Shug’s, there’s a good chance part of it was prepared by Marcela’s loving hands.
So many of our favorite memories include Marcela, and our little family won’t be the same without her. Cheers to six years of laughter, sass, and so much bacon 🥓💛
If you’ve got a moment, drop some love for Marcela in the comments – she may not realize just how much this community appreciates everything she’s done for us, and we’ll make sure she sees the comments all the way in Peru 🇵🇪
