Associated Food Stores is proud to continue celebrating 85 years of serving and supporting independent grocers and the communities they call home. As part of this milestone, team members across the company are invited to add a commemorative 85th anniversary signature line to their emails for the remainder of the year.
This simple gesture is a small but meaningful way to show unity and pride in the work team members do together. Whether team members are at retail, the distribution center or the corporate office, the email signature is a reminder that we’re all part of something bigger, an organization built on partnership, purpose and a shared commitment to strengthening local grocers. Adding the signature line to emails extends that celebration into everyday interactions, helping mark the occasion in a consistent and visible way.
To present a unified front to member retailers, vendor partners, potential retailers and the wider community, it’s important to always adhere to AFS logo standards, use the designated company email signature(s) and employ the branded PowerPoint template. These elements visually represent AFS’s identity and help build recognition, trust and connection across the organization.
Bridge, the AFS intranet, provides easy access to these resources. Team members can find AFS-branded elements by navigating to the Bridge Homepage, scrolling down to Team Resources and Lists, and then selecting “AFS Brand Guidelines, Logos, and Letterheads.” Alternatively, team members may follow this link for direct access.
