## Story

The chain was recognized as a Top Workplace by Energage.

Country Fair was recently named a 2026 Top Workplaces Culture Excellence winner by Energage. The Top Workplaces program has a 19-year history of surveying and celebrating people-first organizations nationally and across 60 regional markets.

Top Workplaces Culture Excellence awards recognize organizations that excel in specific areas of workplaces culture, with Country Fair being recognized for purpose and values.

The award celebrates organizations who have both embedded their mission and values into their culture and are efficient in their work to bring it into reality.

Top Workplaces awards are based on feedback from a research-backed employee engagement survey. Details about how Country Fair builds a great workplace culture are available on Top Workplaces.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”

“We are very pleased that our employees would nominate us for an award like this one. We put a focus on our mission, which is simply Country Fair Cares for its employees, customers and community,” said Paul Rankin, vice president of retail marketing for Country Fair.
