Weis Markets chairman, president and CEO Jonathan Weis said: “We are proud and grateful for the contributions of our resilient team of associates, who adapted to the challenges of supply chain disruptions, a tight labour market and inflationary pressures.

“Our associates effectively served our customers and delivered strong financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021 that significantly exceeded pre-pandemic levels and our original expectations.

“As a retailer that benefitted from our customers’ increased food-at-home consumption because of the Covid-19 pandemic, we note that the last two fiscal years of net sales and income from operations were the first or second highest in our company’s 110-year history.

“The working capital from this positive momentum positions us well for the future to execute our long-term strategy to prudently reinvest for profitable growth.”
