Weis Markets Hosts DSD Vendor Appreciation Week

Weis Markets’ senior team and store managers are recognizing the strong support of its direct store delivery vendors throughout the year – particularly during the busy holiday season – with a chain-wide vendor appreciation week.

Running Dec. 7-12, Weis stores will provide free donuts, coffee and beverages to its direct store delivery (DSD) vendors who service its stores. The Sunbury, Pa.-based regional retailer's Chairman, President and CEO Jonathan Weis, along with other senior team members and individual store managers and receivers, will present vendors with a holiday card to express their personal thanks.

“Our success in 2015 has been based on improved customer experience and offering our customers strong values," said Richard Gunn, SVP of merchandising and marketing for the 163-store chain.

“Improved collaboration with our supplier partners, particularly our DSD suppliers, has also been an important part of our success. We strongly believe in recognizing and acknowledging the people who help make us successful," continued Gunn, "including our DSD suppliers who work hard year-round to help us better serve our customers and drive sales.”
