CEO of Stong's Market is stepping down

Cori Bonina is stepping down as CEO of Stong's Market--the Vancouver-based grocer her great grandfather founded more than 85 years ago.

Bonina (top right) spent 40 years with the company, which currently has two locations--Dunbar and North Vancouver.  (The North Vancouver store won the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers’ Independent Grocer of the Year Award--medium surface--for 2017.)
 

Brian Bradley will step into the president role June 1.  Bradley, who spent more than 30 years with Safeway in a variety of roles, joined Stong's as general manager in 2017. A press release announcing his appointment says he has been instrumental in Stong's transformation and growth since joining the company.
