⭐ EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: LAUREN ⭐
Meet Lauren — all 4'7" of her. 😂 Don’t let the height fool you. She may be small, but she’s fierce, and she keeps things moving behind the scenes at the Corner!
Born in Minnesota, Lauren has called Circle home for the last 11 years. Around here you might hear her answer to Larry, Lil Note, Auntie Bob, or—if things have taken a serious turn—Lauren Ann. 😂
Most days you’ll find her in the kitchen prepping, cooking, tackling the never-ending dishes, or jumping behind the bar when needed. Basically, if something needs done, Lauren is probably already doing it.
Outside the Corner, she’s a paranormal and horror movie fanatic 👻🔪, loves hunting and fishing, is always game to try a new food, and is a MASSIVE Minnesota Vikings fan. 💜💛🏈 And yes, she takes full advantage of that fandom by teasing Fred every chance she gets. 😂
She has two cats, Callie & Gray, and a brother, sister-in-law, and nephew she loves spending time with.
And by “spending time with her brother,” we of course mean arguing with him. ❤️😂
She’s little. She’s mighty. She bleeds purple and gold. And she probably knows where the spatula you’ve been looking for is.
Meet Lauren — our 4'7" Corner Bar kitchen legend. 🍔🍻🔥💜💛
