ZIMMERMANN FAMILY, Zimmermann True Value, Buffalo Grove, Ill.
Zimmermann True Value embodies the spirit that’s deeply rooted in community retailing. The store
recently celebrated its 30th anniversary in Buffalo Grove, Ill., and the Zimmermann family (pictured
above) was honored with the 2007 Golden Bison Award from the local village board in recognition
of the members’ contributions to the community. The award is given to businesses that go “above
and beyond” normal day-to-day operations.
The Zimmermann family believes that providing superior customer service includes being involved
in local initiatives. This legacy of service, begun by store owner George Zimmermann, Sr. and his spouse
Carole, was instilled in his children, Kurt Zimmermann and Cheryl Shephard, who now run the store.
As a regular contributor to the community, the Zimmermanns participate in numerous activities,
including the Buffaloes on Parade and Buffalo Grove Days. In addition, proceeds from the store’s
30th anniversary event were donated to the Elliott Cellini Fund, benefi ting a local high school student
recovering from a serious car accident.
“ TRUE VALUE’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE COTTER BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB
HAS A DEEP AND LASTING IMPACT ON OUR KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES. WE
COULDN’T PROVIDE OUR SERVICES – FROM TUTORING TO FAMILY INTER-
VENTION – WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT.”
– Jim Pottinger, Executive Director, Cotter Boys and Girls Club
