ShopRite operator Zallie Family Markets promoted Anthony Massoni to president and announced a couple of other executive changes on Monday.

Massoni joined Zallie Family Markets in 2003 as manager of ShopRite stores in Medford and Berlin, New Jersey. Most recently, he served as the company’s vice president of operations and merchandising, playing a key role in the reopening of the ShopRite of Glassboro, New Jersey, and the grand opening of the grocer’s newest store, the ShopRite of Center Square, the company said.

Also receiving a promotion was George Veit, who took over Massoni’s former post as VP of operations and merchandising. Veit joined Zallie Family Markets in 2007 as an assistant store manager and was promoted to district manager in 2021.
