With 18-years of experience in the retail liquor industry, Josh Hudson is more than familiar with St. Anthony’s highly-respected and city-owned operation. Back in February of 2020, just as the global pandemic began to take hold, Josh was looking for a new venture after spending the past couple years as a stay-at-home dad. “When choosing the next step in my career, it was very important to me that I join a workplace that is close to home and that I could take pride in,” explains Josh.
Josh has an inherent desire to play a positive role within this community. “I knew from visiting both locations that the SAV liquor stores are welcoming, well-stocked, and fun to shop. It was a perfect fit for me,” said Josh. With this new role, he can remain invested in the community and simultaneously help further the City’s welcoming culture of service.
And, over the last year and a half, Josh has met many wonderful residents and friends along the way. “I enjoy learning the names of my regular customers through our Royalty Club Card program- I hope to become their friends along the way! As a representative of our City, I have the support of our City operations- from the Police and Fire departments, to Public Works, and City Hall, I know they are there for me; that it itself is humbling. “I have great pride in the job that I do. It’s a valuable service for all residents, with profits going directly to the betterment of St. Anthony Village,” said Josh.
