Sears customer in Winnipeg buys pizza for staff slated to lose their jobs

WINNIPEG – A longtime customer of a Sears store in Winnipeg has bought pizzas for the employees who will soon lose their jobs.

Sears Garden City in Winnipeg is one of dozens of locations the company is closing across the country.

Store manager Lucia Nunes says her phone rang last week, and that when a customer calls, it’s often to complain.

But Angela Nespiak phoned to say she was sad the store is closing and that she wanted to do something to thank Nunes and her staff for their years of service.

A couple of days later, Nunes says 14 large pizzas and nine bottles of pop arrived at the store.

Nunes says it’s something her staff will never forget.
