COMMERCE, CA - As we continue to see growth across the supermarket industry’s discount formats, 99 Cents Only has welcomed a new produce player to the team. Previously with BayerCrop Science as the company’s Produce Chain Marketing Manager for the America’s, Caitlin Tierney has joined the retailer as the new Senior Produce Buyer.
“As 99 Cents Only Store’s new Sr. Produce Buyer, I will be responsible for supporting our stores with high quality fresh produce, milk and eggs at an amazing value,” Caitlin tells me. “Additionally, I will be responsible for the development of quality specifications, and enforcement of these specifications, as well as guaranteeing the stores have the best handling practices to ensure the freshest products for our customers.”
Caitlin will provide leadership and strategic direction to the 99 Cents Only’s produce team to help achieve the team’s financial plan. This comes at a time when the retailer is working to improve the customer experience, reduce shrink and scrap, enhance inventory management practices, and working to get the right products to the right stores at the right time.
