PFMA associate member FMS Solutions, a retail accounting and financial services company, recently announced that Gary Lauer has joined the company as its Key Account Executive of the Northeast region.

Lauer brings with him decades of grocery experience both at the retail and wholesale level. He started in the grocery business as a boy at his family’s store in central Pennsylvania. After college, he worked at the York, Pa.-based wholesaler PA&S Small Co. and its successive owners SM Flickinger, Scrivner Co., and Fleming Foods.

In 2000, Lauer became the Director of Retail Development for Associated Wholesalers Inc. (AWI) and later C&S Wholesale Grocers, where he served until 2015. He then joined the Pennsylvania Food Merchants Association as its Director of Membership Development until he joined FMS in the summer of 2017.

“We’re proud to have Gary on board,” says Mark Ehleben, vice president of FMS. “He brings a great deal of knowledge and expertise in the independent supermarket industry and will be a tremendous asset to both FMS and our customers.”

Lauer graduated from St. Joseph’s University with a bachelor’s degree in Food Marketing and earned his MBA from York College of Pennsylvania.

He can be reached at garyl@fmssolutions.com, 717-501-2046 (cell), or 877-435-9400 x 1241.

FMS Solutions currently services independent retail grocery and independent supermarket operations in approximately 3,500 locations throughout North America, The Caribbean and South America. Its headquarters are in Pasadena, Maryland, with offices in Pittsburgh, PA, Nashville, TN, Portland, OR, Dallas, TX, Eatonton, NJ, and Detroit, MI.
