National Custodian Day is a chance to honor the everyday heroes who keep our stores, schools, offices, and public spaces clean and safe. This year, we’re turning the spotlight into an adventure: a Custodian Scavenger Stamp Hunt that will run from October 1 – October 2, 2025 across our participating locations. Whether you’re a regular shopper, a curious passer‑by, or a local resident, you can join in, learn a few surprising facts about custodial work, and win a special reward or a chance at a grand prize.
How the Hunt Works
1. Find the Stations – Six “Custodian Facts” plaques or QR‑code stations are hidden in high‑traffic areas of each participating store. Each station tells a quick, eye‑catching fact about custodians (for example, “Custodians clean over 1 million square feet of retail space each year!” or “Eco‑friendly practices cut waste by 30%.”).
2. Scan & Stamp – Use your phone’s camera or a QR‑scanner app to scan the code. A digital stamp will appear on your virtual Custodian Card. Duplicate scans of the same code are ignored, so each station only counts once.
3. Collect All Six Stamps – Once you have all six stamps on your card, you’re eligible for a reward or a raffle entry.
4. Redeem or Enter the Raffle – Show your completed card to a staff member. They’ll verify the stamps, hand you a branded reusable cleaning cloth and a $10 store voucher, or give you a raffle ticket for a grand prize (a premium cleaning kit and a $100 gift card).
5. Enjoy the Experience – The hunt is free, family‑friendly, and designed to bring shoppers together while spotlighting the importance of clean, safe environments.
Why It Matters
– Spotless Spaces – Custodians keep our stores bright and welcoming, cleaning over a million square feet each year.
– Eco‑Friendly Heroes – Many use green products that cut waste and protect the planet.
– Safety First – A clean floor reduces slips, trips, and falls—keeping everyone safe.
– Behind the Scenes – Custodians work before opening and after closing to ensure you step into a spotless environment.
– Community Care – They know our neighborhoods, sharing stories and smiles with shoppers along the way.
These facts are displayed at each station, turning every scan into a quick lesson about the unsung heroes behind our daily routine.
Prizes and Raffle
Reward:
– Standard Reward – Branded reusable cleaning cloth + $10 store voucher (or $20 voucher, depending on final budget).
