Who knows what Blue Monday is? Blue Monday is considered “the most difficult day of the year”. It is a time where many people feel down as the holidays are over, credit card bills have come in from holiday spending, New Year’s resolutions might be slipping, and winter weather is in FULL swing….

Well, CTR is here to say HAPPY MONDAY! The only thing blue over here is the beautiful bright blue sky! Yes, it is a bit chilly today (compared to the rest of this balmy winter) but we are in great spirits at 986 Wall Street so if you need a pick-me-up, call our team! We are here to help supply you with all of your winter automotive and shop needs.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, to reduce the number of employees on-site, CTR employees have been given the option to work from home. It is hard to believe that it has been 9 months of working from home for some of our staff, but everyone is safe, and the joys of technology allow us to be equally efficient off-site and from the comforts of our home offices.  We would like to send a shout out to the following folks who are doing their part during these hard few months……

To Krysta, Angela, Colleen, MJ, Bryan, Jessica, Kim and Pat – we miss seeing you in the office and working by your side but thank you for all your work as your contributions to the team and to our customers haven’t skipped a beat. We look forward to having you back at our CTR World Headquarters (haha) when the time is right.

In recent years, it has become a CTR holiday tradition for all employees to receive either a chicken, turkey, or ham for their family gatherings. This year the tradition continues and with a bit of a twist as we are not permitted to have large gatherings during code red restrictions. This year, each employee received one small chicken and a small ham to accommodate two meals per household.

Shout out to our suppliers Toledo Foods and Granny’s Poultry!! We appreciate your support; we can always count on you for an amazing meal during the holiday season.

CTR encourages everyone to shop local this holiday season and to stay safe. Best wishes from your CTR crew and cheers to a fresh start in 2021.
