When it comes to keeping AFS facilities running smoothly and looking their best, Russ Hatt and Todd Humphrey are the go-to crew. Russ and Todd provide essential services across the corporate office, distribution center, and corporate stores, bringing both technical expertise and a positive attitude to every project. They diagnose, fix, replace, and complete original constructions – whatever the job requires of them.
One of the maintenance team’s most recent accomplishments was Todd’s transformation of the outdated kitchen and break room area on the ground floor of the Salt Lake City corporate office. The comprehensive renovation included cleaning and servicing the ice machine, replacing worn cabinets and drawers, and installing fresh new countertops. The result is a welcoming and freshened space where team members can relax and recharge during their workday. “It was rewarding to complete this project,” said Todd. “I’ve had multiple people come up to me and thank me for it. It’s easy to take for granted how renovations can renew your mood.”
Projects like the kitchen renovation exemplify how AFS strives to maintain quality facilities for its team members. Rather than outsourcing expensive renovations, the company leverages the talents of skilled professionals that are on the team to find innovative and cost-effective solutions.
In addition to their work at the corporate office, Russ and Todd play a critical role in supporting the ongoing needs of ARO’s retail stores. From repairing refrigeration units and fixing plumbing issues to updating store fixtures and responding to unexpected maintenance emergencies, the team helps ensure each location remains safe, functional, and inviting for both guests and team members. Their ability to troubleshoot problems quickly and effectively minimizes disruptions to store operations and helps maintain the high standards AFS is known for. Whether it’s routine maintenance or more complex facility upgrades, Russ and Todd’s work keeps stores running smoothly behind the scenes—often before anyone notices there was an issue at all.
This approach ensures that every improvement is done with care and attention to detail by someone who is intimately familiar with the space. The daily work of the maintenance crew does not go unappreciated by members from across the company who see the fruits of their efforts firsthand.
Thanks to dedicated team members like Russ and Todd, AFS continues to provide beautiful, functional spaces where employees can thrive and feel valued.
