Bill Long, the man behind WinCo’s transformation into one of America’s largest employee-owned companies, has passed away at 87. Starting as a store manager in Boise, he helped turn a single shop into a $3 billion grocery giant, all while sharing ownership with employees. Thanks to his vision, longtime clerks and produce workers became millionaires, and WinCo’s unique model is still making waves in the industry. It’s a reminder of how leadership can reshape not just a company, but the lives of everyday people. What do you think about employee ownership—should more companies follow WinCo’s lead? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #WinCo
