PROVIDENCE, RI - United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI) remains on a mission to help its customers and suppliers succeed in the marketplace. In support of this important goal, the distributor has released an updated selling show schedule for 2024, with events that will feature the full spectrum of products and services that better align with customer buying behavior instead of purely focusing on natural and organic or conventional offerings.
“With the start of every selling show season, we look forward to connecting with our partners around the country to share insights, discuss industry trends, and explore new ways to create value and help drive their growth,” said Sandy Douglas, Chief Executive Officer. “We appreciate the hard work of our suppliers and customers and look forward to continuing to support them with supply chain efficiency and the industry’s leading selection of products, insights, and go-to-market services, all of which will be on display at our upcoming shows.”
These new shows will support both the natural and conventional suppliers as well as all grocery retail customer channels and positioning, a release stated. UNFI will now hold the following four shows in 2024:
- Spring and Summer West Selling Show in San Diego, CA, on February 7–8
- Spring and Summer Central and East Selling Show in Orlando, FL, on February 20–21
- Holiday and Winter East Selling Show Uncasville, CT, on June 4–5
