Caitlin Tierney is the director of produce at 99 Cents Only.
This is a newly-created position, effective Aug. 28, Tierney said.
“In this new position, I am looking forward to focusing on extreme value with year-round, consistent programs, and creating several tools within our organization that will focus on quality,” she said.
Tierney, who previously worked with Bayer CropScience's produce division and was a produce and floral purchasing manager for Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market, joined the Commerce, Calif.-based retailer in January 2016 as a senior produce, bakery and egg buyer.
It's been a great experience so far, Tierney said.
“To be a .99er is like being part of a close-knit family,” she said. “Everyone works as a team for one common goal: to be the best extreme-value retailer. My favorite part of working for the .99 Cents Only Stores is to be able to be a part of a company that feeds people that would otherwise not be able to afford the variety of fresh fruit and vegetables that we offer.”
