Former Save-On-Foods president Darrell Jones is officially in the running for the B.C. Conservative leadership.
Jones, who grew up in Cranbrook, is probably most well known in B.C. for his years of being the face of Save-On-Foods and its commercials. He’s worked in nearly two dozen Save-On-Foods across the province.
“I remember so vividly that time and that experience,” he said. “It’s just incredible, bagging groceries for my customers, stocking shelves and learning the business from incredible people in the company.
“It sparked a passion for me, passion for taking care of their wants, their needs, and helping everyday people any way I could.”
Jones, a long-time Surrey resident, made the announcement at a banquet hall in Surrey Tuesday (Jan. 27), introduced by his son Zack.
“I’m proud to be standing here today, not just because my dad is stepping up, but because I’ve had a front row seat to how he lives his life, how he shows up every day, and how he leads most people know my dad as a business leader, a community advocate,” Zack said
More to come.
