Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
In May 2025, United Natural Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) and Key Food Stores Co-Operative, Inc. (“Key Food”) mutually agreed to terminate the Amended and Restated Northeast Supply Agreement, dated June 3, 2021, as further amended (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company served as the primary grocery wholesaler to Key Food locations in the Northeast. The Agreement will terminate on or around September 20, 2025, and Key Food’s conventional products business in the Northeast will transition to another wholesaler. The Company believes this is a positive outcome for both parties. The Agreement allows the Company to exit an unprofitable relationship and further strengthens the Company’s progress toward its longer-term strategic and three-year financial objectives.
In conjunction with the termination, the Company intends to discontinue operations at its Allentown, Pennsylvania distribution center, consistent with efforts to optimize its distribution network and improve service to local customers and suppliers. Other customers currently serviced out of Allentown will be serviced from nearby facilities that the Company believes can continue to service them efficiently and effectively.
The information included under this Item 7.01, “Regulation FD Disclosure” of this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished. As such, the information herein shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
