I was raised into the Marie Callender's family from birth. My mom started working at the Lakewood Marie Callender's (Shop #1 the big one) from hostess to server to bartender to assistant manager to general manager to area supervisor to almost getting a VP spot. Anyways I started working at the same one when I was 15 1/2 and I will never forget the experiences I had. I have so many fond memories of working there and the people I met and the customers I met that in a way I was sad to see it turn into East Side Marios (which is an awesome place still). I loved working there and everyone I remember from there when I come back to California to visit, we always talk about the amazing times we had there. I went from Host to server to bartender (best job in the restaurant business) to corporate trainer to assistant manager to working in the corporate office in the POS department. So Marie Callender's has been involved in my life from birth till I was 29 when we all moved from California. Thank you Marie Callender's for everything you gave me and all the fun times and memories made working there. I will never forget them as long as I live. -Matt Flores
