Dick Harlow began his career with the Aubuchon Company, “after he was hired in the basement of our Windsor, Vermont, store by Bernard Aubuchon Sr. in April of 1961. Though he started in the Windsor store, he soon went to our Montpelier store in 1963,” said the firm.
Gary Law was onboarded with the Aubuchon Company in May of 1978. He spent most of his career in Barre, Johnson, and Montpelier, but would also fill in for managers who took time off.
He was also essential in setting up new stores in and around Vermont. After Harlow retired, Law took over as the Montpelier store manager, running the location with his wife, Maria, said the company.
Numerous individuals played crucial roles in the successful reopening of the store, said the company, including the regional support team and regional operations team, led by regional director, Justin Bicknell.
The support center demonstrated remarkable commitment, supporting operations, merchandising, and human resources, said the firm.
“Ace also deserves acknowledgment for their invaluable assistance, particularly in making Montpelier our first co-branded store,” said Aubuchon.
