DALTON, Ga. – Denise Hudson picked as many four-leaf clovers as she could find when Plant manager Matt Hauke asked her to come into her job at Mohawk Industries early Monday for a meeting with her bosses.
“I honestly thought I might be fired,” Hudson said Monday outside of the Dalton plant on South Hamilton Road.
Denise Hudson checks out her new Kia Soul Monday at Mohawk Industries in Dalton, Ga. Five Star gave away the car to end a retail promotion at micro market locations.
But when she got to work, she quickly found she not only still had a job, she had a new and better way to get to work. Hudson was the lucky winner of a 2017 Kia Soul after being chosen from among thousands of users of one of the Five Star Food Service micro market locations at the Mohawk plant.
Hudson, who has worked the night shift at Mohawk for the past three years, purchased one of the 30 items that qualified her to win the biggest prize given yet by the Chattanooga-based food vending operator.
“I’m very excited because we needed another vehicle so my husband can drive to work without me having to rush home to take him to work,” Hudson said.
