WHITEHOUSE STATION, NJ – QuickChek Corporation has been named as one of the Best Places to Work for in New York State for the second consecutive year, the company announced earlier this week.

The award is sponsored by the New York State Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) and Best Companies Group. QuickChek has also been named one of the Best Places to Work in New Jersey for four consecutive years by NJBIZ magazine.

QuickChek is active in the communities it serves and has raised more than $1.5 million for the Juvenile Diabetes Relief Foundation since 2000, $125,000 for Hurricane Sandy relief and $124,875 for the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

“We strive to be the neighborhood shopping destination close to where our customers live,” said QuickChek CEO Dean Durling. “With over 3,500 team members in over 130 stores, we look to create a positive experience and fun environment where core values are nurtured, hard work is rewarded and leadership is cultivated. Being privately-held allows us to succeed at our pace.”

The statewide Best Places to Work survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in New York, whose practices benefit the State's businesses, economy, and workforce. Companies are judged by their own employees.

QuickChek will be formally recognized at an awards dinner on May 6 at the Albany Marriott.
