She worked at the front counter, but when the COVID-19 pandemic struck, there was nobody to greet.
Wood retired instead, said Chris Stronach, a former Taco Bell manager who is organizing a big surprise for Wood.
On Saturday at 3 p.m., there will be a parade in the neighboring Big Lots parking lot.
"She didn't get to say goodbye to everybody that made such an impact on her over the last 20 years," Stronach said. "So, playing it safe, we are planning a retirement parade."
Stronach invited people to drive by. You can bring a sign, honk, wave or leave behind a card.
