Turnip Truck founder and owner John Dyke has promoted Robin Fugett to Store Director of the companyโs newly renovated Gulch location. Fugett has been with Turnip Truck since 2015, most recently serving as a Manager on Duty.
Fugett previously worked in specialty retail management in Texas for nearly three decades. She moved to Nashville and joined Turnip Truck after an eight-year tenure as General Manager of Williams-Sonoma in Fort Worth. Soon after coming to Turnip Truck, she helped launch the locally owned natural foods grocerโs new flagship East Nashville store and quickly worked her way into management.
โRobin is an exceptional leader, and we are delighted to have her at the helm of our Gulch location,โ Dyke said. โInside or outside our organization, there was no more qualified candidate than Robin.โ
Fugett has spent her time at Turnip Truck learning about the storeโs culture of community engagement, including fostering relationships with farmers and food producers. In her new role, she will manage all aspects of the Gulch store โ from staffing to customer relations.
โWhen I moved to Nashville, I made the decision to transition from corporate retail management to working for a locally owned company,โ Fugett said. โI consider myself very fortunate to have connected with Turnip Truck, which has given me the opportunity to quickly move into a leadership role at a company I greatly admire.โ
Congratulations Robin!
