TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) – A Tucson Fry grocery store manager recently raised $ 1 million in a company-wide initiative by Kroger to encourage employees to get vaccinated.

The company announced Monday that it had given the money to Rey Rocha, who runs the Fry’s on Grant Road.

Fry’s President Monica Garnes surprised him at work Monday morning with the check.

“The safety of our employees and the community has been our primary concern throughout the pandemic,” Garnes was quoted as saying. “We’re excited to present one of our store managers with a US $ 1 million award for their decision to get vaccinated and help Arizona fight COVID-19.”

Through the Community Immunity Giveaway, the company offered its employees and customers the opportunity to receive at least one dose of the vaccine from a Kroger family business or from an occupational health worker or elsewhere than an employee.

As a reward, these customers could win one of five checks worth $ 1 million or free groceries for a year.
