The company reported to media outlets that DeLuca died on Monday. He had reportedly been treated for leukemia since 2013, and his sister, Suzanne Greco, has been serving as company president since June during a difficult time for the business, where they’ve not only lost their spokesman to sex crime charges, but are also dealing with the consequences of concentrating on opening more and more stores.
The company declined to tell Bloomberg Business whether Greco will also take the CEO title; as they attempt a makeover and turnaround and hope to increase sales at each store instead of just opening more stores, it might be smart to bring someone in from outside.
