Chris Kenny is not only a great buisnessman, he is a generous, community-minded philanthropist, willing to respond to the needs of those less fortunate. His good work, through Shoprite as well as the Kenny Foundation, should be supported.
Christopher L. Kenny is an organized and well spoken business person with and excellent understanding of detail. He provides direction and leadership in his dealings with others and is always thinking a step ahead to better his company and himself.
Christopher is a strong manager who has the ability to get the job done and to engage his staff. He has a strong committment to the stores as well as the communities they serve. I have been at a number of public events where people talk about the efforts of Christopher and ShopRite to provide opportunities for people in the community.
Chris and I interacted on several levels in connection with various business situations over the past five-years.Chris is a practical manager; he always looks for holistic solutions suited to a specific business challenge. A proactive approach succinctly captures Chris' corporate management style. He firmly believes that a stitch in time saves nine; over the years, ShopRite has benefited greatly from this approach. His firm grasp of finance and law makes him an extremely valuable asset to any organization, particularly in the present challenging economic environment. I can confidently state that ShopRite has benefited immensely from his thoughtful managerial skills. Chris constantly looks for ways to improve business and seek innovative solutions. I would describe him as a unique blend of the old, tried and tested ways with the new technologically-savvy management style.
I have enjoyed working with Chris as he has worked his way up from his early days, just out of law school, working in a support role with The Kenny Family ShopRites of Delaware, to today, where he serves the same company as CFO and General Counsel. I like the way that Chris has embraced the challenge of moving from a supporting legal role to a senior management, decision-making role. Chris is energetic, decisive, and eager to learn and grow, and he has made the most of his opportunity to learn the business from the ground up from the rest of the senior management team at The Kenny Family ShopRites.
President at Larsson & Scheuritzel P.C.
Christopher L. is a very knowledgeable and detail-oriented executive. I have observed his tendencies to effectively monitor the bottom-line while continually keeping the bigger picture in mind. He has refined analytic skills that have enabled him to implement very sound and cost conscientious initiatives at his company. Christopher is always abreast of changes in the law and actively participates in activities to regularly expand this knowledge. He has a great mind for business that enables him to emerge as a leader among his work peers, among his strategic partnerships, and among the members of the community he serves. Christopher is an active member of our community and willingly shares his ideas, skills, or knowledge with various organizations and individuals who would benefit the most from his passion and experience.
Director of Human Resources, PM Hotel Group
Chris was very instrumental in the development of the Partner's In Training Cashier Program. The program is a collaboration between ShopRite and Goodwill which is specifically geared towards the skills needed for a cashier position at ShopRite. Chris helped develop the program from initial concept to creation.

Chris demonstrated leadership through his work in designing our HR retail database.

Chris served as a valuable member of the Goodwill of Delaware & Delaware County Board of Directors on the Human Services Committee for almost two years. I had the pleasure of working with him during that time. Since then, I have been associated with Chris through the partnership between Goodwill and The Kenny Family ShopRites of Delaware. Chris has a strong commitment to giving back to the community not only through his relationship with Goodwill but also many other non-profits in Delaware.
Executive Administrative Manager at Goodwill of Delaware & Delaware County
Chris and I have much in common working in the family business. Chris is a "quick study" and has made quite an impact in the community and as a leader in the Kenny Family enterprise. Chris is smart, likeable, tough but fair. CBI Group really enjoys our relationship with Shoprite because of Chris.
President, CBI Group
It was my pleasure to work with Chris Kenny while he served on the Board of Directors for Goodwill of Delaware and Delaware County. A shrewd, dedicated advocate and partner representative for the Kenny Family Shoprites, Chris' integrity and knowledge were integral to the continued success of Goodwill and the growth of the organization and consumers served.
President at ADaGeo Communications, LLC
I had the pleasure of working with Chris as a board member for JA of Delaware. Chris was sincere and proactive in his desire to learn the workings of the organization and provide resources, connections and advocacy as needed. He and his company were truly interested in furthering the mission of economic literacy and workforce readiness for local students. He was visible, accessible and additive to our work. HIs knowledge of business and HR are solid with demonstrated success in his industry. Chris also does not hesitate to share his professional network and expertise with his colleagues. He is both professional and kind - a winning combination.
