Meet Frank, Retail Operations Area Director

This week's #TeamMemberTuesday is featuring Frank, Retail Operations Area Director at Giant Eagle! Frank came to Giant Eagle over 15 years ago and has been an invaluable member of the team since day one. His passion for teamwork and for growth and development has illustrated just how successful we can be when we work together.

What is your job title? What do you love most about your job?

I am a Retail Operations Area Director. Working with people is my passion. It gives me a sense of gratitude and accomplishment when our team achieves an objective. I am fully aware of how important each individual is to overall team success and love to see our Team Member’s thrive in a teamwork environment.

Why have you chosen to stay with Giant Eagle for over 15 years?

Giant Eagle is a company where your growth potential is limitless. In my career, I believe in development and growth. Being in a Company that provides both is essential for me as I continue to look for new opportunities and challenges.

What made you think of Giant Eagle as a possible place of employment?

I came to Giant Eagle in 2006 after working for Tops Markets for 20 years. Giant Eagle allowed me to continue my career in the retail business and continue my growth and development. Working for a competitor at the time, I was impressed with the way Giant Eagle approached competition in the market. Giant Eagle seemed to be aggressive in growing the business without sacrificing integrity. They remained (and continue to remain) steadfast in their stance on quality and fair price while adding nuances to the business to stand apart from competitors.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

Over my entire career I am most proud of the work I am doing now. I am a member of Giant Eagle's B.L.A.C.C. Business Resource Group, as well as, working with other segments of the business to bring awareness to diversity. I work with our Talent and Development Teams on initiatives geared toward creating a better understanding of racism and getting better as an organization as it relates to inclusion and diversity. We're also working on improving opportunities to grow with the organization up to and including developmental programs and mentorship access.

Out of our refreshed Core Values (Respect All, Think Team, See It Own It, Work Smart, Live Well and Do Right), which Core Value resonates with you the most? Why?

Think Team resonates with me because it’s so important to being successful. A company where Team Members can express themselves and are valued are essential components of a team atmosphere. I focused on creating that atmosphere in every aspect of my life whether its business or otherwise.
