Pricing Remains an Important Top-Line Driver at PFG, but Food-Service Likely to Pressure Growth
Business Strategy and Outlook
COVID-19 caused an unprecedented shock to the food-service industry, although Performance Food Group's, PFG's, high mix of delivery-heavy pizzerias helped damp the impact, with PFG returning to prepandemic sales levels by April 2021. The firm gained market share in recent years, as its clout as the third-largest U.S. food-service distributor likely allowed it to more easily secure products among widespread shortages than its smaller peers. But with product availability improving, we suspect gains will be more challenging.
