Meet John Gernenz, our diligent Inventory Manager at the Natural Food Store since 2018. John plays a pivotal role in ensuring that our store is well-stocked with the products our customers know and love. With a career spanning the realms of retail and hospitality, John has honed his skills to deliver exceptional customer service and keep our shelves abundantly supplied.

But John's dedication doesn't stop at managing inventory; he is also a full-time Firefighter/EMT in Searcy. His passion for helping people in their times of need underscores his commitment to making a positive impact in his community. Whether it's ensuring the availability of your favorite products or responding to emergencies, John's dedication is unwavering.

Originally hailing from just north of Chicago, John has made Searcy his home. Here, he resides with his beloved wife, and their family of three. Their shared vision is to savor the beauty of life, retire in good health, and bask in the sun on a tropical beach, all while listening to the soothing melodies of Jimmy Buffett songs together.

John's multi-faceted background, spanning both retail and public service, makes him a valuable asset to our team. His dedication to service, not only in his role at the store but also as a Firefighter/EMT, reflects the core values of the Natural Food Store. We are grateful for his unwavering commitment to enriching the lives of our customers and community.
