Nicole Pesco named CEO of the Save Mart Companies

MODESTO, Calif. — Nicole Piccinini Pesco, co-president and chief strategy and branding officer of the Save Mart Companies, has been promoted to CEO.

Last year Save Mart launched its first new concept store format in over 20 years with the introduction of Lucky California. At the time, Pesco said:  “We’ve been working for several years refining our strategy because customers today are very different than 10 years ago, even two years ago. This has been a long time coming."

The company employs nearly 16,000 team members and operates 206 traditional and price impact stores under the banners of Save Mart, Lucky, Lucky California, FoodMaxx, S-Mart, and MaxxValue.
