Associated Grocers, Vice President of Wholesale Larry Chmielewski is retiring.
Capping off an outstanding 49 years of serving the Independent Grocer in Western Canada, 35 of those years with Associated Grocers, Vice President of Wholesale Larry Chmielewski is retiring September 30, 2022
Larry will be dearly missed by all – customers, suppliers, colleagues, and none more than myself.
Larry’s casual, friendly, can-do approach has been a key factor in the growth of Associated Grocers over the years as he and his team have continued to demonstrate why Associated Grocers, now in its 95th year of operation, is known across Canada as the Home of the Independent.
Not only has he been an unwavering advocate and supporter of the Independent Grocer throughout his career, Larry has also mentored and developed a team that I know will proudly carry on his commitment to customer first service, every day.
On a personal level, I cannot adequately express my appreciation for the support and friendship that Larry has given me since we began working together more than 20 years ago. While I am saddened that we will no longer be working together, I take great comfort in the fact that we will remain friends and have many opportunities to share fellowship in the years to come.
Please join me in congratulating Larry on his upcoming retirement.
Dan Bregg
President
ASSOCIATED GROCERS
