Home Sweet Home expands leadership at Lincoln Mission Mart

[January 21, 2014]  In preparation for the expanded opportunities to be provided by the new Lincoln Mission Mart location, Home Sweet Home Ministries has established the new position of lead sales associate at Lincoln Mission Mart and promoted Hope Cook to that position.

Cook is currently part of the sales staff at Mission Mart and has over 14 years of management experience from her work at other retail outlets. She has been a resident of Lincoln for nearly 30 years.

"Creating this new position will increase the flexibility we need as we move forward with our plans for the new Lincoln Mission Mart. It also provides an even greater strength in our leadership, which will translate into an even more positive experience for our customers," explained Chris Trimble, director of retail operations at Home Sweet Home Ministries.

Home Sweet Home Ministries recently announced the purchase of a new building at 119 N. Sangamon St in Lincoln that will serve as the new home of its Mission Mart store. In addition, Home Sweet Home is reaching out to Lincoln and Logan County to determine what the ministry might bring to the community in the way of services and resources.
