John Fondakowski

Mike Doolin, MBA
I have known Ed for over 3 years and he is an experienced and very knowledgeable food merchant. He is always searching for ways to improve the quality of service and the product presentation in our stores. He was an invaluable resource on industry best practices. He is a licensed Basset trainer who helped train and assure the completion of the certification process for all cashiers at my store. He has a strong sense of urgency when needed as shown during the roll-out of new operating procedures for the meat dept. (project O). He treats all associates with respect and provides them with a leader/mentor they can look to for assistance. During store tours, he is always coaching/teaching and provides detailed opportunities for improvement as well as the follow-up necessary for success. His communication with the management team was always directed to the success of not only the grocery business, but the success of the total store.
