WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J. – QuickChek Corporation, a market leader in food services with an exceptional fresh coffee and fresh food program that has been voted the best in America, was named one of the Best Places to Work in New York State for the third consecutive year.

The Whitehouse Station, NJ-based convenience store chain, which has 12 locations in New York’s Hudson Valley and opened its first of several planned stores on Long Island in October 2014, was recognized by The New York State Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) and Best Companies Group, an independent company managing Best Places to Work programs around the country.

The privately held, family-owned-and-operated company operates 140 retail locations throughout New Jersey and New York and has been named one of the Best Places to Work in New Jersey for five consecutive years by NJBIZ magazine.

“We firmly believe in being a great place to work, a great place to shop, and a great place to invest,” said QuickChek CEO Dean Durling. “With over 3,500 team members in 140 stores, we look to create a positive experience and fun environment where core values are nurtured, hard work is rewarded and leadership is cultivated.”

The statewide Best Places to Work survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in New York, whose practices benefit the state's businesses, economy and workforce. What makes this program unique is how the rankings are derived; each company is not judged by an outsider, but by their own employee base. QuickChek will be formally recognized at an awards dinner recognizing the 2015 Best Companies to Work for in New York State in April.
