In his new role, Massoni will lead Zallie Family Markets, which operates ShopRite stores in Burlington, Camden and Gloucester counties in New Jersey, as well as in the Mayfair section of Philadelphia.
He will oversee all aspects of the company, including sales, merchandising and advertising programs and retail operations at the company’s 11 ShopRite stores. He will continue to help develop the teams working at these stores.
Massoni, who began his grocery career as a cashier when he was a teenager, worked for several supermarket companies before joining Zallie Family Markets in 2003.
