In addition, C&S announced an agreement to acquire the Lumberton distribution center from SpartanNash. Subsequently, C&S announced and then closed on our acquisition of the entire SpartanNash Company. C&S also announced a partnership with Atlantic Grocery Supply to provide wholesale supply solutions to retailers in the Caribbean, Central and South America and partner on sales to Florida-based independent retail customers.
“As C&S transforms and expands in the Southeast, our team members are our competitive edge,” Eric Winn added. “This is an exciting opportunity to continue driving our legacy of braggingly happy customers in the region as our industry evolves.”
