Gibson, 58, most recently had been VP of merchandising in Kroger’s Columbus division. He began his career in 1976 with Grand Central discount department stores in Salt Lake City, and joined Fred Meyer in 1984, where he worked for the next 27 years in roles including store and district management, regional director and group VP for store operations. In 2011, Gibson was named VP of operations in Kroger's Columbus division, and in 2013 he was named to his most recent post.
“Dennis's experience in both merchandising and retail operations make him a great fit to lead the QFC team,” said Mike Ellis, Kroger's president and COO. “Dennis is a strong executive with tremendous dedication to our customers and commitment to our associates. We look forward to the leadership and expertise he will bring to the division.”
