Running and managing a grocery store is not for the faint of heart. There are a lot of factors to be on the lookout for. You’ve got the seafood and butcher shop, the bakery, the deli, prepared food items, canned goods, toiletries, and so many other things to worry about. How can you keep it all put together? Certainly, it takes a lot of time and effort to run a successful grocery store. Fortunately, there are also plenty of equipment and tools to make managing it easier for business owners.
Do you know which equipment your retail store needs? Unfortunately, far too few store managers and owners do. Starting a new store, or even buying an existing one, is a very exciting position to be in. And yet, you’ve got to make sure you have the right supplies and equipment to succeed. If you don’t have the right equipment, your customers will take their foot traffic elsewhere. If you’re lucky, you might just experience a slight inconvenience if you can acquire the equipment you need quickly. At worst, it could spell disaster for your store.
Fortunately, this is where UNFI Professional Services comes in. Our equipment services team leverages UNFI’s scale and sourcing practices to provide you with a competitive edge at prices you can afford. You will work with experts who can provide the right equipment recommendations based on your need and budget to save you time. Did you know we have over 100 national account vendor discount programs?
