Summary
I have worked at Shoppers Food 40 years through all of the name changes and owners. I left for 2 years to work at Whole Foods distribution center when I thought the company was closed. Came back when was asked by my former district manager. I have had many various roles in the company. I was a grocery buyer for DSD categories and also was in charge of the beer and wine category when we took over Shop & Save. I also did POG's and ran the homestore team that completed weekly resets. I was a grocery operations specialist and also produce operations specialist. Upon my return from Whole Foods i was a store manager. I have had a lot of roles with the company and excelled at all. I am looking for a new job as the future of Shoppers is coming to an end.
