Connecting Neighbors: Saboor Sahely
Saboor shares his story of coming to the United States from his homeland of Afghanistan as a young college student. With determination and drive he arrived here with basically just the shirt on his back. The summer he arrived, he worked three jobs before school started and began moving forward in life, but it was not easy. He and his young family knew what it was like to ‘live on a shoestring.” Saboor has never forgotten what that was like. Through those growing pains, he learned compassion and appreciation for those who stood behind him—first and foremost, his wife Kristine and the ongoing support of the community. In turn he continues to give back in how he treats his customers, his employees, and by serving the community in many ways. Over the years, he has hired several second-generation employees to keep things running smoothly. Most importantly, his customers keep coming back, many of them now third-generation customers.
