In 2019, D’Amour was appointed district sales and merchandising mentor for Big Y’s 15-store district in western Massachusetts. In this role, he oversaw sales, merchandising and team development across all departments, while continuing to manage operations at Table & Vine.
In 2021, he took on leadership of Big Y’s e-commerce platform, a role he held through 2023. He was subsequently appointed district director, overseeing 16 Big Y locations across Connecticut.
"Christian’s care and compassion for our store teams and our customers, along with his enthusiasm and genuine love for the business make him well suited for this elevated role," said Schneider.
