SpartanNash Promotes Smith To Senior Director Position

SpartanNash has promoted Andy Smith to senior director of merchandising for the Produce/Floral segments. He previously held the title of director for the same product categories.

Smith began his tenure at SpartanNash nearly two decades ago, and has held a variety of different roles. He spent six years in retail store operations, followed by 13 years (and counting) within produce and floral. He is also a Food Marketing Institute Future Leaders Experience Attendee, Emerging Leaders Development Program Graduate, and most recently he completed the International Fresh Produce Association Executive Leadership Program at Cornell University.

“I’m pleased to promote Andy from within to fill this critical role on the merchandising team,” said Bennett Morgan, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer with SpartanNash. “As we look to improve our fresh credibility in our new Go-to-Market Strategy, floral and produce are going to be big bets for us. With his extensive background and knowledge in the business, Andy is the perfect fit to help us in becoming a leading customer-focused, innovative food solutions company.”
