Food Concepts Inc. (FCI), a designer and builder of branded merchandisers and store decor elements for the convenience-store industry, has named Zach Duesler as its new president, following the announcement of Tom Bush’s retirement. Bush will retire March 1, after 11 years of leadership at FCI.
Prior to his new position, Duesler was FCI’s director of design and architectural services. With his wealth of experience in design trends, product development and brand growth, the Middleton, Wisconsin-based company said he is now poised to “further FCI’s mission of building brand experiences.”
“I am truly honored to build upon the legacy that Brad established as founder and CEO, and to follow in the footsteps of Tom’s exceptional leadership over the past decade,” said Duesler. “I’m excited to lead FCI into the future, strengthening our products and services, while continuing to elevate the industry and deliver best-in-class value to our customers.”
Bush, who led FCI’s growth and innovation over the years, will support the transition through March 1.
“I’m proud of all we’ve accomplished, and I’m confident Zach will lead FCI to even greater success,” Bush said.
