Shelly Flynn, an Independence resident and pharmacy practice coordinator for Kroger’s Cincinnati/Dayton Division, has been honored as one of the Top Women in Grocery by Progressive Grocer, a national trade magazine.
“Our honorees exemplify true leadership and raise the bar when it comes to inspiring our associates and serving our customers,” said Ann Reed, president of the Cincinnati/Dayton division, in a press release. “They live by our motto to Feed the Human Spirit each day through their work to care for the health of our customers, advance equity with diverse products on our shelves, eliminate hunger in the community and provide a Full, Fresh and Friendly shopping experience.”Â
Flynn, who was honored with a Rising Star Award, began working with Kroger in 1991. Since then, she has “championed the strategies of 20 pharmacies within the division and also supported The Little Clinic locations within her scope of stores,” according to Progressive Grocer’s profile.
In addition, “she and her team sold more than 4 million prescriptions and administered 65,000-plus vaccines, making them tops in their division for vaccine-to-goal percent; she also rolled out a simplification pilot to streamline pharmacy procedures.”
