Jason Hart named as the next CEO of Aldi US
Next we look at a couple of key retail appointments.
First up is Jason Hart, who will be promoted to chief executive at Aldi US in April 2015.
Hart has spent his entire career at Aldi, which has been growing strongly in the US market and recently announced a deal to acquire 66 Bottom Dollar stores from Delhaize.
“Rising demand for Aldi is fueling significant expansion as growing numbers of smart shoppers are discovering that they can save time and money at Aldi without sacrificing quality," said the company.
