Sourcing and Vendors
We source from approximately 1,000 suppliers and offer well over 4,000 brands. These suppliers range from small independent businesses to multi-national conglomerates. We purchased approximately 78% and 71% of the goods we sell from our top 20 suppliers for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately 34% of our total purchases were from KeHe, and 18% from Four Seasons Produce. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, approximately 14% of our total purchases were from UNFI, 16% of our purchases were from Four Seasons Produce, and 26% of our total purchases were from KeHe. No other supplier exceeded 10% of total purchases in either periods. We maintain good relations with all our suppliers and believe we have adequate alternative supply methods, including self-distribution.
As mentioned, KeHe replaced UNFI and becomes our primary supplier of dry grocery and frozen food products starting from January 2025. Our customer distribution agreement with KeHe commenced from March 1, 2024 and has an initial term through February 28, 2027. Either party may terminate the agreement for defaults by the other party of certain provisions of the agreement. We are obligated to purchase a minimum annual volume of products from KeHe, except in certain defined circumstances when such purchasing obligation is excused. Pricing under our agreement with KeHe is on a “cost plus” basis. We believe KeHe has sufficient warehouse capacity and distribution technology to service our existing stores’ distribution needs for natural foods and products. Unlike certain other key suppliers, our relationship with Four Seasons Produce is not governed by a long-term contractual agreement, and purchases are made on a purchase-order basis.
We have longstanding relationships with our suppliers, and we require disclosure from them regarding quality, freshness, potency and safety data information. Our bulk food private label products are packaged by us in pre-packed sealed bags to help prevent contamination while in transit and in our stores. Unlike most of our competitors, most of our private label nuts, trail mix, and flours are refrigerated in our warehouse and stores to maintain freshness.
