Maribel came to Olsens IGA in Ajo, after growing up in San Luis, Arizona.  She has eighteen years with Olsens and has experienced moving the store from 10,000 sq ft to 20,000; changing wholesalers; caring for customer needs; and finding the best qualified people and training them to work at Olsens.  Her toughest task was ensuring the store’s continued operations at the unexpected death of owner Don Olsen.  Her enduring leadership and can-do attitude are showcased everyday at Olsens IGA.

Maribel is a proud parent, homeowner, and big supporter of Ajo community charities.

Maria grew up in Ajo and is raising her family in our pristine desert town.  She was hired at Olsens in December 1998.  Maria’s extensive knowledge of her community and customers helps her make the right purchasing decisions.  She is quick to assist, research, and procure special orders.

Maria is a proud parent, homeowner, and big supporter of student athletics in Ajo.
