ALBANY, NY – QuickChek Corporation has been named one of the Best Places to Work in New York State for the third consecutive year. 

The Whitehouse Station, N.J.-based fresh convenience market chain, which has 14 locations in Long Island and the Hudson Valley, was ranked No. 7 on the list of large employers at a ceremony held April 21, by the New York State Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM). QuickChek moves up after previously being ranked 13th in 2013 and 16th in 2014.

The family-owned and privately-held company operates 140 retail locations throughout New Jersey and New York. The convenience store chain enjoys the rare distinction of being honored in both states, having been named one of the Best Places to Work in New Jersey for five consecutive years by NJBIZ magazine.

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. 

At QuickChek, most of the company’s vice presidents and all of its district leaders started out working in a company store. Full-time employees are offered a wide variety of affordable health and welfare benefits, ranging from medical, dental and vision to life insurance, a 401(k) savings plan, fitness center reimbursement and even pet insurance. A typical QuickChek store creates 35 to 50 new local jobs and generates approximately$1 million in tax revenue. The company continues to grow, opening new stores each year.

“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, a former NACS chairman, in a press release. “With more than 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.”
