This is Vern Lindemann. Vern is an employee at the Eden Prairie Liquor Store in the Prairieview Shopping Center. Vern is a great guy. If you’ve never shopped in this liquor store, you should give it a try (if you’re of age, of course), for no better reason than you’d have the chance to meet Vern.
Vern is also an inventor and manufacturer. The photo below is an example of a liquor store innovation that Vern invented and manufactured. Vern invented the wooden shelf insert that displays the bottle of wine in a position that is easier for the customer to read and is actually more stable for the bottle to sit in, which reduces the number of bottles that are accidentally broken by customers in the store.
Vern manufactured enough of these inserts for our Prairieview Liquor Store. He is a master woodworker, so manufacturing the inserts was important to him. He did it at home in his personal wood shop. He installed them as well.
I think the Vern’s inserts display our wine better and safer. Good work Vern! We appreciate your innovation, your effort, and your warm smile at the cash register.
