James served as our interim general manager and paved the way for a successful general manager hire, and onboarding/transition process. James’s communication and work style is open, direct, respectful and frequently uplifting. James saw the potential we had, encouraged our development, and was a thorough interim general manager. His reset of our produce department also was a soaring success, helping turn around negative trending sales growth in that department, and giving a much-needed face-lift, as well as operational efficiencies and best practices in the fresh department. I would gladly work with James again and would count on his willingness to give 110% to any project we might embark on.
