Hancock Fabrics Inc, a retailer of fabrics and sewing goods, has realigned its Store Operations' team to strengthen field management and store support.
Dean Abraham has been appointed Senior VP - Store Operations, reporting to Jane Aggers, CEO.
Abraham has been with the company for 36 years, most recently as SVP - Merchandising and, prior to that, SVP - Store Operations. Reporting to Abraham will be the three regional Vice Presidents of store operations and a newly-created position, VP - Business Development, focused on identifying best practices that lead to both better customer service and the reduction of expenses through the elimination of low-value tasks.
