United Natural Foods (UNFI) is a leading grocery wholesaler with $31 billion in sales, up from $10 billion in 2018. Its 2019 SuperValu deal expanded its natural and organic focus into conventional grocery, but thin margins and stiff competition are pushing management to improve efficiency.
UNFI’s leading natural and organic distribution business seizes on consumer demand for better-for-you fare, a particular opportunity amid increasing GLP-1 intake.
Growth in large, lower-margin chain retailer customer accounts could hamper UNFI’s profit potential.
