I've studied and worked in retail operations for years but nothing beats witnessing the heart and soul of the third largest retailer in the United States.

The Invisible Hand Behind Rising Grocery Prices When a bag of coconut-cashew granola at Whole Foods jumped from $5.99 to $6.69, the culprit wasn’t just manufacturers or grocers. Instead, a hidden force in the supply chain is squeezing the industry with mysterious fees. Known as grocery distributors, this opaque network has become a critical link between manufacturers and your grocery bill. Grocery distributors like UNFI ($UNFI), KeHE, and C&S are the intermediaries who buy, store, and ship products to supermarkets, managing programs for thousands of small food makers. Industry consolidation has reduced alternatives, forcing manufacturers to pay increasingly aggressive fees that can net a mere $2.50 from a $10K granola shipment. The pricing paradox: Operating on razor-thin margins, distributors rely heavily on charging suppliers with shipping, promotion, and processing fees — in what industry veterans liken to “the Wild West” of pricing. With the system becoming so complex, manufacturers often have to hire full-time employees or outsource to costly “deduction buster” firms to dispute charges and recover funds. But as costs stack up, pressed manufacturers note, “In the end, consumers pay for everything.”
