99 Cents Only names Gonthier CEO

99 Cents Only Stores named Stephane Gonthier as president and chief executive officer, succeeding Rick Anicetti.

Anicetti, interim CEO, will return to his role solely as a member of the company's board. He joined the company's board in the first half of 2012 and was named interim CEO in January, when members of the company's founding Gold and Schiffer families left. Anicetti is the former president and CEO of Food Lion, Salisbury, N.C., a division of Delhaize Group, Brussels.

Gonthier has been chief operating officer of Dollarama, an 800-unit Canadian dollar-store chain based in Montreal, since 2007 after serving as senior vice president, Eastern North America, overseeing 2,600 Circle K stores for Alimentation Couche-Tard, which operated the c-store chain in the U.S. from 1998 until 2007.
