McLane set to act as exclusive distributor of seasonal candy to all U.S. retail locations.
McLane Co. Inc., a supply chain services company providing grocery and foodservice supply chain solutions, has renewed its service agreement with long-time client Walmart.
As part of this extended agreement, McLane will continue to deliver to Walmart stores across the U.S., in addition to becoming the sole provider of candy and tobacco products to the vast majority of Walmart’s retail locations.
With its consistent and dedicated customer service, efficient operational structure and fully-integrated IT solution offering, McLane will now become the exclusive provider of Walmart’s seasonal candy products to all locations nationwide.
“McLane’s ability to deliver temperature-sensitive products to all of our stores and manage our large volume of seasonal goods will ensure we have the best selection of high-quality products at the lowest cost for our customers,” said Vice President of Candy and Impulse Merchandising at Walmart, Joe Grady.
“McLane is proud to be a long-time partner of the world’s largest retailer. We are excited to expand our product mix with Walmart as we continue to serve all of Walmart’s U.S. locations,” said Tony Frankenberger, president of McLane Grocery.
