For this month's employee spotlight we're featuring another one of our Technicians—meet Josh! And, no, you're not seeing double—he's Sam's twin brother! (We wont get into who's the older twin ??) Just like Sam from last month's spotlight, you'll mainly find Josh around Wabasha and the surrounding areas. A little about Josh: ?? What is your favorite thing about working at HBC? "Our Team here is by far the best part about HBC." ?? Looking ahead to Thanksgiving, what is a dish you NEED on the table? "Turkey for sure!" ?? Fun fact about yourself? "My ability to solve a Rubik’s cube faster than my twin brother. Also I’ve shown Young Gravy some magic tricks and he really enjoyed them!" Our employees hard work and dedication truly make a difference in delivering the best experience for our customers each and every day. Their commitment to quality service and their willingness to go above and beyond really capture the spirit of HBC. Thank you for all you do! #employeespotlight #hbcinyourcommunity #weserveweconnectwecare

Last week, we experienced a bittersweet moment as we officially said goodbye to the building that was home to our Wizard's Technical Support team for many years. ??♂??? We remember the countless calls, laughter, and problem-solving that took place within those walls. These memories are a true testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone who walked through those doors! While the old building may be gone, our Wizards Technical Support are still serving you with the same care and commitment throughout our service area—headquartered at our Winona storefront, 58 Johnson St. ?????? #MovingForward #WizardsTechnicalSupport #weserveweconnectwecare

??? Happy World Communication Week, everyone! ??? As we reflect on the ways we connect, it’s incredible to see how our means of communication have transformed throughout the years—especially since the onset of COVID-19. It’s been quite a journey, hasn’t it? From virtual meetings to a big surge in social media, we’ve all learned to adapt and find new ways to stay in touch! ???? Here in Minnesota, we’ve always valued kindness and community, and it’s heartwarming to see how we’ve leaned on technology to keep those connections strong. Whether it’s a friendly video chat or a thoughtful message, it’s clear that we’re all in this together. Let’s celebrate the creativity and resilience that comes with our ever evolving means of communication (paired with a strong Internet connection, of course!) ?????? #WorldCommunicationWeek #Connect #Evolve
