Stigers will report to Wakefern’s board of directors. Current president Joe Sheridan, who last year revealed his intention to retire, will remain with the company through the end of the calendar year to ensure a smooth transition. Sheridan spent 47 years at the cooperative, the past 11 as president.

“Mike brings with him five decades of industry leadership, proven success and respect among his peers and the supplier community,” noted Wakefern Chairman Joe Colalillo. “Wakefern will benefit from that broad knowledge base and leadership experience.”

Added Colalillo: “On behalf of the board of directors, I want to thank Joe Sheridan for his decades-long dedication to Wakefern and for his role in the search and selection process – it has been invaluable.”

Stigers brings to his new role five decades of industry experience and a... distinguished track record in both the retail and wholesale sides of the business.

In 2016, he was promoted to the position of EVP, Supervalu wholesale and supply chain services, and held that role until the company was acquired by UNFI two years later.

Stigers got his start in grocery as a part-time courtesy clerk at Safeway in his native California. During the course of his career, he gained extensive experience in the areas of operations, merchandising, retail technology, food safety, supply chain and fresh. Stigers is also active in industry trade associations as a past president of Lakewood, Calif.-basedWestern Association of Food Chains . He’s also the immediate past chair of the Washington, D.C.-basedNational Grocers Association (NGA) , having served in that capacity in 2020-21.

“I am excited to join Wakefern at this important time in its history,” said Stigers. “The strength of the cooperative and its solid position as a regional grocery is well known in the industry. I am looking forward to joining the team and working alongside the cooperative membership to help shape its future. ”
