Nineteen years after starting as a teen with a summer job, Ming Chang continues to be a familiar and friendly face at Sunny Farms Country Store, 261461 U.S. Highway 101.
The Port Angeles native and Crescent High School graduate recently appeared on the front of the “Who’s Who” magazine, which he kindly holds up for a photograph.
Chang said he started as a closing clerk in the grocery department at Sunny Farms following the suggestion of his father to speak with Sunny Farms owner Roger Schmidt for a job.
He was promoted to grocery manager in 2002 and said working at the store for him is about the people — customers and co-workers.
He took a few minutes from his busy day to answer some Random Questions.
