On July 17, Weis Markets names Bob Gleeson, a former Shoppers Food & Pharmacy and Supervalu executive, the new Vice President of Fresh Merchandising.

Gleeson replaces John Grimes, who retired at the end of June. He will oversee the day-to-day merchandising and procurement of the company’s meat, produce, deli & food service, seafood and floral departments. 

“Bob Gleeson is a proven leader with extensive merchandising experience and a deep understanding of key parts of our seven-state market area,” said Richard Gunn, Weis Market’s SVP of Merchandising and Marketing.
