Allegiance Names Meat/Seafood Category Manager

Allegiance Retail Services LLC has promoted Candy Rodriguez (left) to the position of category manager 1 – meat/seafood.

According to the company, Rodriguez’s 13 years of experience in the meat/seafood department of Foodtown Inc., a retail cooperative comprising 59 stores in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, enable her to bring an extensive level of skill and knowledge to her new role.

“We congratulate Candy on her well-deserved promotion and wish her continued success in her new position,” said  Michael Stolarz, president and COO of Allegiance, a company formed by Foodtown last year to provide marketing, advertising, technological and operational support, as well as a full line of Foodtown private label products, to Foodtown store operators as well as other independent grocers.

Both Allegiance and Foodtown are based in Iselin, N.J.
