Former Rite Aid COO named to top post at QuickChek

WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J. — QuickChek announced John Schaninger, VP of sales and marketing, left the company and has been replaced by former Rite Aid COO Rob Easley.

Schaninger served QuickChek, operator of 10 pharmacy locations, for 38 years. He left to pursue other interests.

"John has played a vital role in the growth of QuickChek," said QuickChek CEO Dean Durling. "He felt the time was right to pursue other opportunities. We thank him for his many years of service and all the contributions he has made."

Easley served as Rite Aid’s COO in 2007 and 2008. He also served H-E-B for 16 years from 1991-2006 as a senior marketing and operations executive. He joined QuickChek in February as its senior vice president of merchandising and marketing, a newly created position.

“We are very pleased to have Rob Easley join our senior management team,” said Durling. “While we are celebrating our first 50 years, Rob’s strong background in marketing, strategic planning and operations will help us grow to the next level as we look to our future.”
