SpartanNash Honors Top 10 Suppliers at Annual Food Solutions Expo

Food solutions company SpartanNash showcased its commitment to fostering strong supplier partnerships during its annual Food Solutions Expo last week. The Company honored its top 10 suppliers with an inaugural Impact Awards program, in recognition of their exceptional performance and commitment to delivering value to SpartanNash’s independent grocery retailers and store guests.

The Impact Awards recognized suppliers that have played a pivotal role in the Company’s merchandising transformation, which was discussed at the Company’s Investor Day last November. SpartanNash is leveraging data and insights to drive enhanced category planning, promotional effectiveness and customer-focused innovation, with supplier collaboration at the helm.

“We are incredibly grateful to our world-class suppliers that have partnered with us in propelling our merchandising transformation forward,” said SpartanNash SVP and CMO Bennett Morgan. “These suppliers have demonstrated time and again their commitment to creating an outstanding shopper experience and helping independent grocery retailers grow their business. We are proud to celebrate them and look forward to continuing to grow together.”

An award ceremony was held ahead of the SpartanNash Food Solutions Expo at the Amway Hotel in Grand Rapids, Mich. Suppliers were recognized for their outstanding work in digital marketing, category innovation, customer-centric programs, sales growth and overall support of the business.
