SAVANNAH, Ga. -- Convenience-store and gourmet deli retailer Parker’s has hired Jonathan Wilson as a loss prevention manager. In his new position, Wilson is responsible for protecting assets at all Parker’s locations though the execution of strategic safety, inventory recovery and theft reduction programs.
Before joining Parker’s, Wilson worked as a loss prevention manager at Kmart and Belk for five years. This accomplished reporting analyst and internal investigations expert earned an award for Kmart’s Top New Loss Prevention Manager in 2013.
“Jonathan has a distinguished career in loss prevention and a strong work ethic,” said Michelle Weckstein, director of human resources at Parker’s. “We’re delighted to welcome him to the Parker’s team.”
Parker’s, based in Savannah, Ga., currently operates 37 convenience stores across the region and employs nearly 500 individuals throughout Georgia and South Carolina. The company plans to open six new locations over the next eight months, it said.
The company gives back to every community where its stores are located through the Fueling the Community Program, which donates a portion of the profit of every gallon of gas sold on the first Wednesday of the month to area schools. It also founded the Parker’s Emergency & Trauma Center at Memorial Hospital in Savannah, donates gas cards to benefit cancer patients, spearheads an Anti-Litter Campaign in Savannah and serves as the presenting sponsor for Picnic in the Park, a free outdoor concert held in Savannah every October.
