Merchandise Coordinator
[email protected]Hello, my name is Dennis Purnell. Merchandise Coordinator for the Checkers. My responsibilities are all things retail. Buying, staffing, merchandising, and managing our ecommerce business. My journey with the Checkers started in August of 2023. I came from the NBA working for the Charlotte Hornets for 8 years. Through those 8 years I developed skill and knowledge I plan to incorporate with the mission of the Checkers. The main goal is to enhance the guest experience with retail. I look forward to a great first season and future with this team.
