Andmore, which operates gift and home trade markets in Atlanta, Las Vegas and High Point, NC, named real estate and hospitality veteran Jonathan (Jon) Pertchik CEO and promoted veteran company senior executive Dorothy Belshaw to president.
Pertchik (pictured above right) succeeds Bob Maricich, who founded Andmore (formerly International Market Centers) in 2011. Maricich assumes the role of executive chairman of the board to help guide the leadership transition, according to Andmore.
“I am pleased to welcome Jon to the Andmore team and am confident we have found the right leader for the future of our great company,” said Maricich (pictured above left). “Jon (Pertchik) is a seasoned executive closely aligned with our company’s core values and our unwavering focus on putting the customer first. It has been a tremendous privilege to build and lead this business over the last 13 years and I look forward to working alongside Jon, Dorothy (Belshaw) and the rest of the team in my new role as executive chairman.
“It is a great honor to succeed Bob (Maricich) and to partner with the talented Andmore team to continue building on the important mission to offer more for customers every day,” Pertchik said. “Bob and the team have done an incredible job growing a differentiated business, dedicated to partnering with wholesale buyers and sellers to help them grow and prosper.”
Rob Harper, head of real estate asset management, Americas, for Andmore owner Blackstone, added, “We are grateful to Bob for his visionary leadership throughout his tenure at Andmore and appreciate his continued dedication to the business. (Pertchik’s) multi-faceted leadership experience, passion for the customer and commitment to teamwork make him the perfect fit for this role and we are thrilled to welcome him to the team.”
Pertchik joins Andmore with more than 20 years of leadership experience in the real estate, hospitality and finance industries. Most recently, he was CEO of TravelCenters of America (TCA). Prior to his role at TCS, Pertchik served as CEO of hotel company InTown Suites, as well as ST Residential, and he has held leadership roles at WCI Communities and The Staubach Company.
Pertchik will make his permanent office for Andmore in Atlanta, while also setting up offices in Las Vegas and High Point.
