Retail & Emerging Channels

Change is Good. Diversification is Even Better!

When we founded PRO*ACT back in 1990, our family of distributors focused primarily on the delivery of traditional produce to restaurants. Amazing how things can change in 25 years.

Today PRO*ACT is a “fresh food supply chain management network,” delivering innovative fresh food products to traditional and non-traditional channels to meet the changing fresh demands of today’s consumers.

Meeting New Consumer Demands

The habit of three square meals is a thing of the past. Today, consumers are snacking throughout the day. Plus, these new consumers want unique fresh food options, such as organics and natural foods, specialty, and ethnic food items, all offered at convenient locations and on-the go or ready-to-eat packaging.

Non-traditional channels increasing with new customer demands for fresh include: convenience stores, drug stores, and Dollar stores, as well as colleges, universities, hotels and hospitals.
