Center Store Lead
Schnuck Markets, Inc.

03.2012 - 01.2022
- Over the last 10 years of my employment, I have had the opportunity to work in several departments throughout the store. This includes Bakery, Deli, Meat/Seafood, Center Store and Produce.
- As a produce manager, I perform a variety of tasks from day to day.
- Ordering product for everyday deliveries.

- Consistently making display changes and merchandising product for eye catching displays.
- Setting of planograms in both dry and fresh departments.
- Creatively finding ways to cross merchandise GM and Center Store products within the fresh departments to increase sales.
- In December of 2018 I accepted the center store Lead 1 position. While most of the work within that position is the same as produce, it requires frequent communication with vendors and merchandisers about upcoming sales as well as the possible collaboration of said vendors to build displays and drive sales.
- While working at the Savoy store, I would do the liquor PO's weekly, and frequently control and monitor inventory numbers.
- Aside from in store work, I also have about 4 years of commercial driving experience delivering product to customers.
