Meet Your Bittersweet Weekend Manager

Dana Johnson has been with Bittersweet for three years as a cashier and was most recently promoted to weekend manager. "I enjoy meeting new customers and chatting with our regulars who come in two or three times a day."

A Virginia native, Dana grew up in Charlottesville before moving to Alexandria 12 years ago. She has plenty of retail and food service experience. As a mother of two teenage boys who keep her running, she dreams of a warm vacation someday in sunny Hawaii. Dana knows just how our Bittersweet guests like it and says, "It’s a good feeling to know that just a smile or some friendly conversation can make a customer’s day."
