More than 7,100 Participants Took Part in Celebrating the Store Manager Award Finalists
ARLINGTON, VA – FMI- The Food Industry Association today honors five outstanding
store managers whose tireless efforts merited their selection as winners of the 2022 Store Manager Awards.

and making significant investments in their communities.
FMI also recognized the “People’s Pick” category winner, Rob Vassar of Meijer, Inc., who received more than 3,000 votes out of the 7,100 ballots cast in the online contest.

Sarasin said. “They consistently put the well-being of their employees first by carefully nurturing team talent and elevating colleagues to positions that fit their unique skillsets. Moreover, the benevolence of the 2022 Store Manager Award winners could be felt beyond the parameters of their stores through their collaboration with local stakeholders to fulfill community needs.”
