Bob McB., Produce Procurement
He has worked at Jewel-Osco for 44 years, and
has two nicknames: “The Mayor” and “King of
Pistachios”
The Mayor because he knows his vendors and
King of Pistachios because he buys pallets of
the tasty treat.
Fun fact: his nephew is the Promoter for Chance the
Rapper!
When Bob was hired in 1973:
• Richard Nixon was President;
• the average cost of a house was $32,500;
• Tony Orlando & Dawn had the #1 song, “Tie a Yellow
Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree”;
• The “Exorcist” box office hit.
