After more than 47 years of dedicated service, Charlotte Division Vice President Chuck Roskovich has announced his decision to retire March 31.
President Kevin Murphy said, “Chuck has been an energetic and pioneering leader, having made significant contributions in 4 of our 5 divisions. He has been responsible for growing and serving our diverse market area and leading the way for new market entry in the Atlanta and Charlotte divisions. In his 47 years, he has been committed to serving his customers by sharing our Publix brand and culture with the communities we serve. We are grateful for Chuck’s leadership and wish him a happy retirement.”
Chuck and his wife, Cindy, are looking forward to spending more time with family, traveling and being on the track with his race cars.
With Chuck’s retirement, we are pleased to announce the promotion of Joey Riddle to Charlotte Division vice president.
“Joey is a dynamic leader who motivates and inspires his associates to achieve their personal best,” said Kevin. “He took the opportunity to grow with Publix as we expanded into the Charlotte market and has been integral to establishing Publix as the premier grocer across the division. I am proud of what he has been able to accomplish so far and excited to see the contributions he will continue to make as we enter the Kentucky market, as well as in our existing operating area.”
Joey and his wife, Michelle, will relocate to Charlotte, North Carolina.
