What’s the best unexpected perk of working at the Cheese Shop?

Definitely getting to try all the food. There are so many high quality, unique products that I would never think to try on my own. But working here has broadened my curiosity and I’ve stocked my fridge with some tasty stuff. The discount is also nice:)

Word on the street is that you’re a lead singer in a local band? Give us the juice!

We’re a six piece rock band (that label is pretty loose, though. We’re kind of all over the place in terms of genre). I’m the singer but we’ve got drums, bass, guitars and a synth player as well. We released our first album April 2021 called “Unravel” on all streaming platforms. We’re releasing another album, “Ethereal” July 29th, 2022 so watch for that! We just had our album preview show at the Amsterdam on St. Paul and it was a big success! We’ll be playing all over the cities this summer so follow us on Instagram (@killedbykiwis) for all the info!

How do you feel about pineapple on pizza?

Delicious

What’s something that might surprise us about you?

I majored in theatre, so maybe I’ll really surprise everyone and give a pop-up performance during the lunch rush.

How did you end up working at the Cheese Shop?

I worked in the liquor store during the summer of 2020 taking phone orders for curbside pickup. I moved back to the cities this summer after graduating and saw France 44 was hiring again and thought I would apply. I thought it would be cool to learn about cheese as well so it seemed like a lovely opportunity. I was right.

If you were stranded on a desert island, with a never ending supply of ONE cheese, which would you choose?

CHEVRE, especially the house one we sell in the shop with the cranberries and figs.
