SUNBURY, PA - Weis Markets is centering its growth around the expertise of its executive team. Not long after appointing its newest Vice President of Construction and Store Development, the grocer has pulled back the curtain on another strategic executive change. Former Director of Marketing Maria Rizzo has been promoted to the role of Vice President of Advertising and Marketing.

As she takes on this expanded role, Rizzo will manage the company’s advertising, marketing, and public/community relations activities, with responsibilities such as customer relationship management, marketing, and advertising (print, digital, and electronic).

Rizzo first joined the company in 2006, holding roles such as Category Manager, Senior Manager of Private Brands and Specialty Foods before being promoted to Director of Marketing in 2015.

As noted in a press release, Rizzo will be taking over for Ron Bonacci, who is retiring at the end of the year.
