David the “jar-opener" is a veteran of the cheese shop. In addition to his superior cheese wrapping/cutting skill, his cunning problem solving aptitude, cheetah-like reflexes, and unbreakable mental constitution make him an unyielding and indispensable cog in the machine that is Dedrick’s Cheese. Some (everyone) would also say that his signage and chalkboard artwork are second to none. He also has a prodigious vocabulary. Make note of his annually-celebrated New Year's moustache and receive a complementary second cheese sample!

Born in the ‘burbs of Los Angeles, Emerick has learned the street’s way of working. He’s brought these skills up north to Main Street P*Ville, where you can find him hustlin’ the cheese down at Dedrick’s. Humboldt Fog? Check. Fresh Asiago? Got it. Petit Basque? No problemo hombre. At Dedrick’s Main Street Cheese, Emerick may be the youngest worker, but he never forgets his game. When not working or in school, he is constantly updating his "WHAM!" fan club blog. Emerick first came to the cheese through the Shenandoah High School LTI (Learning Through Internship) program and has been with us ever since.

Love. Respect. Devotion. Francie. What does that name mean? According to ancient texts, the name Francie was defined as “Free”. Yet I do not speak of an every-day bystander or your commonplace cheese-store employee. Francie, you must understand, is more than just a name or single definition; it is a lifestyle… one that has been mastered at Dedrick’s Main Street Cheese. Since her initiation into our store, Francie Hoover has demonstrated dexterity, passion, and creativity equaled by none. “I believe the olive-jar-efficiency can be maximized through a 56.23% decline of liquid consistency”, or, “Through geometrically redesigning the customer’s cheese-trays, we can achieve optimal content.” are just two examples of what you may hear emanating from the mouth of Francie; proving her ingenious nature. A great man by the name of William Shakespeare once said, “Action is eloquence” and through the actions of Dedrick’s Francie Hoover, such a nature has never been better demonstrated. My bio is too long.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pinocchio is only a seasonal employee.

He is mostly an unwelcome distraction.
