Food Distribution
 Our food distribution business is dedicated to supporting independent grocers as they navigate the competitive landscape. We do more than just sell groceries; whether through our category management programs, Store Core™ services, or Our Family® and Value Choice® regional brand offerings, we work tirelessly to help our customers. Simply put, we are committed to their success.
We are also focused on improving our own efficiency and productivity. To that end, in 2009 we implemented an “upstream/downstream” distribution model in our Great Lakes region. Under upstream/downstream, slow-moving products are concentrated in one location that services the other distribution centers in the region. This approach helps us to be more efficient, which drives productivity higher and costs down. We also made great strides in our “One Way of Working” initiative, developing and implementing standardized processes that incorporate best practices and efficiencies for use at all of our food distribution centers.
As part of our strategy to develop differentiated formats for eventual use by our customers, we opened a Family Fresh Market in New Richmond, Wisconsin, and another Avanza store in the Denver market. We continue to refine the formats to make them even better and more responsive to customer demands.
