Poole will report directly to Michael DiMino, LESCO’s president and chief executive officer. “Michael Poole has been responsible for opening new stores for well-known retailers like Talbot’s, Dairy Mart and Edison Brothers Stores, and he brings more than 25 years of successful retail design, planning and construction management experience to LESCO,” DiMino said. “He is clearly the perfect individual to manage this process for us.”
