Today for #TinaTuesday, I had the pleasure of visiting a long time member and big supporter of the Chamber, Ron Jewison and his UPS Store in Downtown Pleasant Hill.  If you’ve ever met Ron, you know that he is always smiling, and now I know why.  He told me that this is the first job he’s ever had where he gets so many hugs from so many people (myself being one of them).  Ron has been at his current location for almost 10 years, coming from El Cerrito where his store was ranked the #1 UPS store.  When Ron took over the UPS store in Pleasant Hill, it was ranked at #28 out of the 38 UPS stores in this County.  He has since made it the #1 UPS store in the county, just by word of mouth from his loyal customers.  I’m not surprised at all.

If you haven’t yet met Ron or visited his store, you are missing out.  He has been and continues to be an amazing part of this community.   Thank you Ron, for taking the time to talk to me today and allowing me to learn just a little bit more about all of the things that you do and what has brought you to where you are today.
