We are excited to introduce to you Chris Gilbert, our Project Manager. In this role, Chris is leading nearly every facet of the work needed to open our store. This includes overseeing the construction work, developing merchandising plans for produce and deli, and establishing systems (like  payroll and our point of sale system). He is also working on identifying local vendors and sourcing quality products for our store. His to-do list is significant, but we feel confident he has the skills and background for this job as he’s already proven to be an invaluable addition to our team.

Chris has been in the retail grocery business for over 34 years. He started his grocery career in a big box supermarket retailer in New England where, over 27 years, he held every position in the store, including the opening of three new stores and assisting with five remodels. He has managed stores ranging from $13 million annually in sales to $40 million a year in sales.  Since 2016, he has been in the co-op world. He started as the General Manager for Concord Food Co-op in New Hampshire and most recently was the project manager for Wild Onion Market in Chicago.

Welcome to the PFC Team, Chris!
