On behalf of our shareholders, UPGC negotiates volume purchases of food, paper, packaging, beverages, services and supplies. Additionally, UPGC manages the distribution relationship, negotiates distribution services and monitors distributor performance.

Our goals are clear and concise:

1. Focus on the collective needs of our shareholders.
2. Ensure our customers obtain the lowest sustainable store-delivered costs. Monitor and measure our market.
3. Constantly seek new cost-savings thereby reducing the price of goods and increasing shareholder profitability without accepting the status quo.
4. Provide access to an uninterrupted supply of high-quality goods.
5. Provide our shareholders with seamless supply chain of the total system business, including promotional and new product initiatives.
