US supermarket chain Weis Markets has promoted David Hepfinger to the position of president and chief executive officer.


Hepfinger, who formerly served as the company’s chief operating officer, replaces Norman Rich who has retired.


As president and CEO Hepfinger will join the company’s executive committee and oversee all aspects of the company’s operations. He will report to Weis Markets’ chairman Robert Weis and vice chairman Jonathan Weis.
