Steve Eggelston
STORE MANAGER
Steve has been working in grocery stores for 36 years, 26 of those at Midtowne Market as Meat Manager. Today, as Midtown Market’s Store Manager, Steve loves to jump in and help out wherever needed!
With his background as a butcher, it is no surprise that Steve is a big meat guy. His favorite meat to throw on the BBQ grill is a bacon wrapped pork tenderloin filet, which he introduced at Midtowne back in 1996!
When he isn’t around the store, Steve is likely playing one of the 15 guitars in his collection.
Julie Dampier
ASST. MANAGER
Julie grew up in a grocery store. Her father, Roy Kohrs, owned the original Midtowne IGA in St. Charles. Julie has watched customers come in as kids, work at the store as teens, and return as parents and grandparents.
Julie believes Midtowne is the perfect size store. Big enough to offer great selection, but small enough to personalize your order.
Her favorite item is the spicy chicken tenders from the deli. When not at work, Julie loves cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals. She remains a lifelong Whitey Herzog fan.
Josh House
BAKERY MANAGER
A St. Louis native, Josh has been in the Food and Beverage industry since he was 15. After earning a degree in baking from Sullivan University in Louisville, Josh moved back to St Louis and worked as a Pastry Sous chef at Ameristar Casino in St Charles and later as the Executive Pastry Chef at the historic Chase Park Plaza.
Josh brings a wealth of knowledge in baking and pastries to Midtowne. His wish is to make Midtowne Market into a world-class bakery. He loves the special attention that Midtowne gives to its customers and the relationships that the staff has built with them over the years.
As an avid foody, in Josh’s spare time, he loves to spend time trying new restaurants in the area as well as traveling with his wife. He is an avid sports fan and loves attending Cardinals and Blues games regularly.
