Company Marks Employment Milestone

I know where I'll be stopping next time I'm in the area. Hope you will too!

BOSTON - VERC Enterprises, an independent chain of gasoline stations and convenience stores throughout the region, has achieved a milestone that the company is exceedingly proud of. VERC Enterprises has reached its goal of having a workforce made up of 15% disabled/challenged individuals within their stores.

Leo Vercollone, CEO of VERC Enterprises, said that his company has long believed in the value of reaching out to individuals who have physical or mental disabilities or challenges, and that the stores that his company owns and manage have many employment opportunities for those workers. “We have been going in this direction for a while. For a few years, we were at 10% and thought we could do better, so we set a company goal of 15% and we have achieved it this year.”
