Associated Food Stores supports independent grocers across Intermountain West since 1940

Weber County's Associated Food Stores is set to enhance its support for independent grocers across the Intermountain West, a commitment that has been in place since 1940. During a recent government meeting, officials highlighted the company's focus on employee retention and job satisfaction, which are crucial for maintaining high service standards for its partner grocery stores, including Macy's, Harmon's Grocery, Kent's Market, and Lee's Marketplace.

The Far West facility, a state-of-the-art warehouse, plays a pivotal role in this mission. It utilizes the latest technologies in the grocery industry and operates around the clock to supply groceries to 450 retail locations. This operational model not only boosts efficiency but also ensures that local communities have access to quality products.

The discussions at the meeting underscored the importance of supporting independent grocers, which are vital to the local economy. By prioritizing employee well-being and leveraging advanced technology, Associated Food Stores aims to strengthen its network of independent retailers, ultimately benefiting consumers in Weber County and beyond. As the company continues to innovate and adapt, the community can expect improved grocery access and service in the coming years.
