This holiday season, Weigel’s team participated in a meaningful tribute at the Chattanooga National Cemetery, where over 64,000 veterans’ graves were adorned with memorial wreaths. By contributing to Wreaths Across Chattanooga and helping to place the wreaths, our team ensured that each fallen hero’s sacrifice was acknowledged during a time of year focused on family, community, and gratitude. “Our veterans have given us so much, and it’s a privilege to take this moment to reflect on their sacrifices,” said Kurt Weigel. “By placing these wreaths, we hope to honor their memory and inspire others to remember the values of service and courage that unite us as a community.” This effort reflects Weigel’s broader mission of strengthening communities and fostering genuine connections. By honoring those who served, we reinforce our commitment to values such as respect, unity, and compassionate service—principles that guide our work both inside and outside our stores. During a season that reminds us of the importance of togetherness and gratitude, we are humbled to stand alongside our neighbors in remembering the legacy of our veterans. If you feel inspired to get involved, consider volunteering with local veteran support organizations, reaching out to families of service members, or participating in similar wreath-laying projects in your area. Your involvement can help ensure that gratitude and remembrance remain integral parts of our shared traditions.

The holiday season presents a unique opportunity to deepen customer relationships—and not just through promotions, but through authentic, meaningful touchpoints. At Weigel’s, our approach goes beyond simple transactions. By offering something valuable every day over the course of 12 days—ranging from complimentary treats to memorable moments like a Santa’s Mailbox for children—we’ve found new ways to build trust and strengthen the bond with those we serve. Our focus on nurturing a genuine connection has translated into a loyal customer base that chooses to return, not merely for convenience, but because they feel seen and appreciated. This loyalty is not the result of a single tactic; it’s cultivated through consistent attention to what customers value most. For exploring strategies in customer retention and brand affinity, consider how small, purposeful actions can transform your audience’s perception of your brand from a simple service provider into a meaningful part of their everyday lives.
