Meet Our Store Director
DOUG PETERSON
Tell us a little about yourself.
I’m a Southern California native whose passion and love for working in the Co-op led him to move to the Twin Cities, America’s Co-op capital! Despite my extremely temperate upbringing, I have come to love the experience of bike commuting year-round and hope that experience will eventually earn me the title of “Honorary Minnesotan!”
I have over 15 years of experience working in many jobs throughout the co-op — from deli clerk to night manager — and I am thrilled to bring that deep, hands-on experience to the Wedge.
What do you value the most?
First, the joy of great service! I absolutely love finding solutions for customers– or just connecting for a few moments during a busy day. Secondly: the privilege of spending my career in the service of the co-op, its owners, its staff, and its vendors. I love that I spend my days supporting and building an awesome, super-local business like the Wedge Co-op.
What do you enjoy when you are not at Wedge Lyndale?
When I’m not at the Co-op, I’m out exploring Minneapolis and Minnesota by bicycle, canoe camping up north, or leading my daughter’s Cub Scout Pack.
