Grocery Retailer, Distributor + Restaurant Connection

World Food Connection has an extensive network of contacts in the retail food industry that allows us to introduce innovative food products to grocery retailers, distributors and restaurants throughout the U.S.  Working with these key stakeholders, coupled with our pulse on industry trends, WFC keeps clients informed about specific requirements and submittal schedules and deadlines. 

Can’t get FDA approval for your product, or it’s delayed in progress? This isn’t a problem but an opportunity to get products into other profitable channels.  Many national and boutique retailers are constantly looking for unique specialty products to fulfill clients’ growing demand for variety and differentiators.  Under special circumstances, we leverage our knowledge of retailers’ specific requirements, successfully getting client products into national grocery retailers. 

Why we should work together:

• • • Our successful track record streamlining and placing products in top-tier restaurants and exclusive grocery shelves 
    • Our extensive network and contacts in the Distribution, Retail Grocery, Import/Export and Restaurant industries
    • Our deep insights into sourcing timelines and buyer schedules allows us to reach out to buyers when they’re looking for specific commodities 
    • Products hosted and managed on RANGEme, an industry standard to host and sell unique food products to distributors, restaurants and retail grocers
    • WFC’s long-standing verified Premium tier on RANGEme allows us to do direct outreach to buyers, with 7x increased visibility over standard accounts   

By outsourcing their critical brand outreach and sales roles to World Food Connection’s restaurant and retail grocery procurement experts, clients save time, resources and money, offloading operational and business development efforts to a trusted partner. Further, our key role as an aggregator to some of the major specialty food retailers in the U.S., and representative to innovative healthy and organic food brands make us uniquely poised to partner with producers and get their items noticed and picked up by the best retail grocers and restaurants, on RANGEme and beyond.
