Convenience Matters

Two years ago, NACS and United Fresh partnered to develop tools to increase the sale of fresh produce in convenience stores – and the partnership has been successful in its objectives. With more than 154,000 locations across the country, convenience stores are increasingly seen as a convenient destination for consumers to buy fruit and vegetables. And part of that reason is because NACS and the United Fresh Produce Association have worked together to significantly increase the sales of fresh produce in convenience stores. The groups have jointly developed toolkits and created task forces to continue to further their work.
