Nick Lenzi
Senior V.P. of Buying and Marketing
Busch's, Inc.


I am the Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing currently overseeing the daily operations of the marketing team as well as the category side of the business. In addition we operate a small self-distributing warehouse and Central Bakery that supply all 16 of our locations on a daily basis. I began my career in 1980 with VG's a 17 store family owned grocery retailer located in south east Michigan. Starting as a service clerk in 1980, I continued to work while attending college and eventually opened many of the stores VG's bought or built over the next 10 years. In addition, I held the positions of Deli Director as well as Director of Sales & Merchandising. In 2009, VG's was purchased by (SpartanNash) where I stayed for 8 years as the Director of Sales & Merchandising for corporate retail. It was during my time at Spartan that Busch's reached out with the opportunity that I have today. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with family owned businesses as well as a publically traded company, learning many things from each organization.
