Mark McGowan has made the decision to leave the company. McGowan, who will remain with Stop & Shop to ensure a seamless transition, will be succeeded by Gordon Reid, currently president of Giant Food.
“Mark McGowan has had a tremendous impact for the Ahold Delhaize USA brands, as well as the communities they serve, and we thank him for his 30-years of tireless service. Under his leadership, Stop & Shop has built a strong foundation for transformation and expanded success that continues through our ‘Reimagine Stop & Shop’ initiative. As Mark transitions, I have full confidence that Gordon Reid is the right leader to continue this transformation by repositioning the business for future success and rebuilding customer loyalty.” – Kevin Holt, CEO of Ahold Delhaize USA.
Reid joined Giant Food in 2013 and has more than 35 years of international retail experience, having served in a variety of management roles at Tesco, Boots, A.S. Watson Group and The Dairy Farm Group before joining Giant Food.
