MINNEAPOLIS, MN - After many years of serving in Safeway’s top produce positions, it has come to our attention that former VP Corporate Supply Chain for Safeway, Scott Bradley, has joined Target as its new VP of Perishables.
Scott has spent many years in the produce and retail industries, most recently as Safeway’s VP Corporate Supply Chain where his focus was to aid the success of the company’s merger with Albertson’s. Other positions Scott held at Safeway include Group Director for the Produce Procurement team in Phoenix, Group Director of Corporate Produce, and VP & GM of Produce.
Known for his extensive knowledge of the distribution center and merchandising sides of the business, his insights will undoubtedly help Target on its mission to prioritize fresh foods.
"I'm sure it will come as a surprise to many people, just given Scott's lengthy tenure at Safeway,” says Rex Lawrence, President of Joe Produce. “He's a great guy and a consummate produce professional. Many of us remember Scott when he was in Safeway Portland with Jerry Decker and Carl Pfieffer. It’s been a joy to watch him ascend up through Safeway, and continue to remain humble, even as his confidence and responsibilities grew. Scott has a calming presence, and always listens closely what the other party is saying or presenting. And at least when you receive a no from Scott, one feels like he is being fair and thoughtful. Congratulations to Target for a great hire!"
