Al Seckinger retired his position as VP of Retail Operations, effective March 1, 2025.
Filling Al’s role in retail will be a familiar face, Justin Coyle. For the past five years, Justin has served as NuWay-K&H Cooperative’s Energy Operations Director, managing the Energy Operations Department’s delivery services and facilities. “Previously,” he notes, “I served 18 years as general manager of a retail company with multiple locations.”
Al Seckinger & Justin Coyle
Justin’s newly created position as Vice-President of Energy Account Management and Retail Operations extends beyond our c-stores and cardtrols. Read more about the energy side in Jake Oldenburg’s article.
During the last two weeks in February, Al and Justin visited all 12 of NuWay-K&H c-store and cardtrol locations, meeting with the store managers, reviewing what has been done at each location in recent years, and looking to the future.
“I look forward to working with this new group of people on the account manager and on the retail side of the business,” states Justin. He was impressed meeting the store staff and observing how clean and organized the facilities were. “I want to get to know more of the people, share ideas and work with them as we look at past successes and future obstacles we’ll need to navigate.”
“Turnover in retail is not uncommon, but we have a staff of very seasoned managers and employees in our c-stores,” remarks Al. “It’s unusual to have these long-term employees in the retail world. We’re lucky to have them.”
“I’ve worked at other cooperatives,” he adds, “and I’ve been honored to be a part of NuWay-K&H Cooperative.”
