“I am thrilled to accept this opportunity to serve customers and associates in the Atlanta division,” Wojtkowiak said in the press release. “My 34 years with Kroger have been incredibly rewarding, and I look forward to the next step in my career.”
Wojtkowiak earned an associate degree in business management from the University of Toledo. He is active in his community and serves on the board of directors for The Buckeye Ranch, a non-profit organization in central and southwestern Ohio offering specialized mental health programs for youth and their families. He and his wife, Amy, have three children and plan to move to Atlanta from Columbus.
