The Board of Directors at Two Rivers Cooperative have announced the appointment of Brian Zahnle as the new General Manager. 

Brian has served as the Location Manager at Two Rivers Cooperative in Pella for the last six years. Brian will officially assume the role on Thursday, succeeding current general manager Tracy Gathman, who will retire on February 29th. Zahnle says that he is both excited and nervous to assume the new role and believes that his relationship with the current staff will help with the transition. 

“So, obviously there’s some pretty big shoes to fill. Tracy has been here the last 27 years approximately, so big shoes to fill for sure. There’s a little bit of nerves, but I think knowing the staff, and having kind of a more personal level of relationship with them is important moving forward. So I’m excited but a little nervous.”
