Meet an “Amazing” Who Found Joy in Working and Greeting Customers

Loren Wade, at 103, was Walmart’s oldest USA employee. He put in 30 hours a week, 5 days a week as--among other duties--a greeter ever since he turned 70, having found retirement, in his words, “boring.” Just a few years before, he was honored at 100 years young by “Experience Works,” a job-training non-profit for older workers as “America’s Outstanding Oldest Worker.”

A WWII vet, Loren served in the Air Force for 43 months in India and China, after which he came home to found a successful flooring company. Loren’s a true Walmart appreciator, just as Walmart appreciates him; in his honor Walmart donated $125,000 to the “Friends of the National World War II Memorial” fund.
