Doug Rauch, former president of Trader Joe’s, is slated to speak at the National Chicken Council’s 60th Annual Conference scheduled Wednesday, October 29-Thursday, October 30. This year’s conference will be held at the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Washington.
Rauch spent 31 years with Trader Joe’s Company, the last 14 years as president, growing the business from a small, nine-store chain in southern California to a nationally-acclaimed retail success story with more than 340 stores in 30 states. How did Trader Joe’s, a company that started as a 7/11 knockoff, become one of the hottest retailer in America? The answer lies in Rauch’s innovation and the company’s prized buying philosophy. He created the company’s unique private label food program; wrote and executed the business plan for expanding Trader Joe’s nationally; and developed the prized customer experience. Rauch will share his views on how to create a self-sustaining culture of innovation, build a brand in a competitive marketplace, and lead with a purpose.
