merchandising for Downers Grove, Illinoisbased Fresh Thyme Farmers Market as well as
this year's IDDBA chairman of the board.
His post as Fresh Thyme VP follows a 12year tenure as vice president of purchasing

Foods Market and more than 25 years in the
conventional grocery realm.

Findlay says. "It has been fun to see how the

But today's supermarket isn't viewed as
place to begin and nurture a career. That, and
how retailers can remedy it, was one of a bevy
of topics Findlay discussed in an exclusive
interview with Supermarket Perimeter in advance of June's IDDBA '19.
