PFMA Chairman Rich McMenamin receives thanks from PFMA Vice Chairman Paul Rankin and Jeff Reagan, vice president, Wakefern Food Corporation. PFMA members and guests honored the work and support of PFMA Chairman Rich McMenamin, McMenamin Family ShopRites, as he completed his two-year term as chairman of the board during the PFMA Annual Conference last month at the Omni Bedford Springs in Bedford, Pennsylvania.
Jeff Reagan, senior vice president of marketing, Wakefern Food Corporation, introduced McMenamin, who operates two ShopRite supermarkets in Philadelphia. Reagan and Paul Rankin, PFMA vice chairman, presented a gift and shopping bag trophy to him.
“I truly want to thank the officers, executive committee and board of directors who have been involved in the countless conference calls and meetings over these issues and who have given up their time in an effort to make doing business in Pennsylvania a little less difficult,” McMenamin said.
“Unfortunately, legislators look to our industry to fill budget deficients by implementing fees or taxes to bridge the gap. Although we haven’t been able to win them all, we have won some or at least we have been able to make our voice heard so that the penalty is less than it would have been,” he said.
McMenamin also thanked PFMA President and CEO David McCorkle and the staff for motivating and pushing members to meet with state representatives and senators to discuss the issues.
“It’s important to have our voice heard,” he said.
