Lehighton Walmart associates mark 30 years

They’ve been there from the very beginning.

Three decades after the Lehighton Walmart opened, five original associates remain employed by the company.

Donna Eckhart, asset protections operations, Denise Walck, apparel associate, Lisa Moyer, entertainment team lead, Nancy Haupt, apparel associate, and Carole Meckes, stocking associate, recently celebrated their 30-year anniversary.

This dedicated group of associates helped set up the original store building site counters, including setting the floor plans and stocking merchandise before the grand opening.

Recently, store manager Girvin Janicki celebrated this milestone with the associates with a dinner at Cousins II Cocktail Lounge in Mahoning Township.

Stories about their last 30 years were shared with many laughs and recounts of events, and the day-to-day serving of the community. Each associate said they were proud to work for the Lehighton Walmart, while one commented that they looked forward to celebrating their 40-year anniversary with the store.
