PCC Community Markets

Spear

PCC Community Markets named David Spear vice president of merchandising, promotions and sourcing. He now leads the merchandising team that sources PCC's product offerings with a dedication to fresh, organic, seasonal food that is sustainably sourced from over 800 local producers, farmers, ranchers, and fishers. He also holds a crucial role in shaping PCC's promotional go-to-market strategy, store experience, and the co-op's private label and pricing strategy. Spear has worked in food retail for more than 20 years, navigating a diverse range of roles that span merchandising, procurement, and operations. He comes to PCC following nearly 16 years at Whole Foods Market, most recently in the role of executive leader of operations. Prior to Whole Foods Market, Spear spent five years at the Chicago-based gourmet grocer, Fox & Obel Market. The addition of Spear to the co-op follows three other top leaders that joined PCC in 2022 to form a leadership team that is two-thirds represented by women at the helm. Founded in Seattle in 1953, PCC Community Markets is a certified organic retailer, and operates 15 neighborhood grocery stores in the Puget Sound area.
