Rebecca Wedde

Rebecca Wedde is an Assistant Store Manager at Food Lion Grocery Store in Roebuck, South Carolina, where she oversees storewide display execution and Computer Assisted Ordering, leads department maintenance efforts, and steps in to support struggling areas such as dairy and frozen departments. Her career began with part-time work while she was employed at local schools, eventually leading to a Center Store role with BiLo. When BiLo was acquired by Food Lion, she climbed steadily through the ranks — from Grocery Manager to Evening Manager, and now into her current position — a progression that reflects years of hands-on dedication to the grocery retail industry. Each day, she follows a disciplined routine of setting goals, walking the sales floor, and resolving issues until the store is running smoothly, an approach she says keeps her accountable and at ease. Beyond her operational responsibilities, Wedde is deeply committed to giving back to her community. She is an active supporter of the Food Lion Feeds initiative, helping spread awareness of its impact in fighting childhood hunger, and she participates in the Isle of Palms Connector Run, a fundraiser dedicated to helping children who have suffered abuse. Her generosity extends to personal gestures as well, including once covering a customer's grocery bill during a moment of financial hardship. She has also volunteered with local food banks since 2014, reflecting a long-standing dedication to addressing poverty in her region. Wedde attributes much of her drive to her mother, who modeled resilience and a strong work ethic while raising her family largely on her own. That influence shows up in the guidance she now offers to young women entering the workforce: stay persistent, don't let setbacks discourage you, and let genuine care for your work carry you through the difficult days. Recognized in 2026 as one of South Carolina's Influential Women, Wedde continues to balance her professional achievements with a genuine commitment to mentorship, community service, and family — cherishing time spent fishing, reading, and being a grandparent as much as the milestones she's reached in her career.
