The Gabi & Jules journey began five years ago when they started selling at their local farmers market . Their bakery on Clarke Street , Port Moody was opened one year later . One team member , Nico de las Alas has been with them for over three years , “ and to me he is such a perfect example of how inclusive enriches the workplace ,” Lisa said . “ Not only is he a phenomenal dishwasher , but he brings such positive energy to work !”
One of Nico ’ s favourite things is ‘ 80 ’ s J-Pop so everyday he is allowed to change the music that ’ s played in the bakery during the last 30 minutes of his shift . “ We had initially done it as a way to motivate him to finish up his dishes but now he is so proficient he doesn ’ t need the motivation . It ’ s more just a ritual of the day ,” Lisa shared .
Nico enjoys being a part of the team . He said , “ My favourite part of working at Gabi and Jules is the friendly atmosphere that embraces me while fulfilling my tasks for the day . I have co-workers and an employer that are very supportive and understanding . We are like a family here . For me , doing something that I love and being appreciated is a rewarding job . It gives me that self fulfillment that I am part of a team in giving the best service that our customers deserve .”
