Kevin C. Lavin

Manager, Chain Stores

Kevin came to the brokerage business in 1979 after 8 years in sales and sales management with the Colgate-Palmolive Company and Carter Products.  Originally opening his business in the Philadelphia Market, he was lured to the West Coast by a much larger and expanding market (not to mention the weather).  He has extensive experience in all grocery departments including Branded and Private Label Products with particular focus in the perimeter departments and specialty foods.
