New leadership at Fresh Thyme
Fellow natural grocer Fresh Thyme has also made changes to its leadership team, promoting Dean Little - who joined in 2017 - to the role of COO , and hiring former Meijer and Delhaize America exec Tod Pepin as chief merchandising officer. Fresh Thyme, which operates 75 stores in 11 states, has been steadily ramping up its private label offer, and teamed up with Instacart last year to offer home deliveries.
