What Does Fanatical Mean to Us?
We’re not interested in the status quo. We’re interested in passion, drive and total commitment to our customers and our community. That’s what it means to be fanatical. Fanatical is putting our customers first and foremost, it’s cheering on the home team, it’s knowing your neighbors and knowing exactly how to be there for them. Fanatical is the spirit of “Let’s do this!” It’s authentic and accessible and it’s a deep and abiding trust built over 89 years of communication, service and a shared common goal of growing together.
