Royal Chain VP of Sales Gary Austein Retires

Gary Austein, who for 17 years was vice president of sales, independent division, for Royal Chain, announced his retirement in early January.

A successor has not been named by the New York City–based company. However, Kamran Melamed will manage the division on an interim basis.

Austein started out as a retailer in New York City but closed his business after sustaining a serious robbery.

“This is a much-deserved decision for Gary, and while we are sad to see such a pillar of our company move on, we find comfort in the legacy he has left for us to build upon,” said Royal Chain president and founder Paul Maroof in a statement.

Last January, Royal Chain lost another devoted member of its sales force when longtime salesman Rick Wolf died.
