Western Grocer Serving the industry since 1916
Brody Powell is moving on from Associated Grocers to become an independent grocer. “Its with many mixed emotion that today marks my last official day at the Associated Grocers office and Friday being my last day with the Pattison Food Group as Vice President of Wholesale.
I’m not leaving the AG family completely however…. After spending my entire working career (over 2 decades of service with one company) I have decided to hop sides and become an Independent AG Retailer. Partnering with my good friend Jim Hamilton, we have purchased a store in Midway BC now known as “Hammy’s Kettle Valley” and also another new location in Calgary AB slated to open in late June, we are very excited for the future and this new path with plans also to expand from these two new locations in the near future.”
Meanwhile, Dereck Hein has been promoted to vice president, wholesale & B2B partnerships. He was previously vice president of retail operations for Buy-Low Foods.
