In Honor of Sarah and Vicki

Today we want to share some very special news.

Some  may remember our staff member Sarah Woller who began working at Sweet Tooth when she was 15 years old.  Sarah gained confidence and knowledge of all our products and was universally liked by our customers.

Sarah has received the NSU Broken Arrow Student Worker Of The Year Award, April 26, 2019.  In addition, Sarah has received her B.A. in Cell and Molecular Biology from NSU.

You can imagine how happy and excited we are for Sarah, who has become very much a part of our extended family.  We have missed her sunny smile, her willingness to do whatever needed to be done, her friendly and knowledgeaable dialogue with our customers and most of all, just hearing about all her achievements.

Sarah will occasionally be helping us at Sweet Tooth, although her primary focus is as a researcher at NSU in her subject area.  When you see Sarah, congratulate her on this important achievement.

Our location at 36th and Harvard has been a terrific move for us.  We are delighted to be in a shopping center with Toni's Flowers, Ed Beshara's Menswear, Fellini's and The Inviting Place.  These are all good neighbors and outstanding locally owned businesses.  Hopefully you are supporting local merchants in our area.

One note of sorrow:  Vicki Martinus, who with her husband started Fellini's, passed away on April 12.  We have so many fond memories of Vicki, who was loved by so many of her customers and friends.  It was a delight to have lunch or breakfast at her shop, to hear her call our name when our order was up and especially to be working so hard to make her restaurant a beloved stop for hundreds of people.

In addition, Vicki was a loving mother and grandmother, proud of her family and generous to all of them.

If we had a Sky Bar in our store, we would open the paper and enjoy her favorite candy bar in Vicki's honor.

You know, we are in our 27th year of retail and it is amazing how many wonderful people we have met and enjoyed their friendship.  You never know whose life you touch and how that interaction will come back to you some day.  We salute Sarah and Vicki and thank them for their friendship!!
