Business Outlook
Pros
Middle management is trying very hard to make the merger work despite the fact that SpartanNash is still being run like a west Michigan company. Positive attitude from troops on the ground despite overwhelming challenges around warehousing, archaic merchandising methodology. Strong support of independent grocers.
Cons
Awful retail operator. No long term vision. Culture is a real problem as is involving staff in remote locations. Refuses to innovate on owned retail side of the house. VERY poor executive leadership team. CEO has little to no understanding of complex retail concepts. Merchandising, Operations and Marketing are all stuck in the mud.
