Ready to grow your brand and take it to the next level? You’re Up Next.

Many emerging brands know they want to work with UNFI but aren’t always sure how to get started….UNFI works with thousands of retailers, making it an important partner for brands looking to expand retail distribution. The UpNext Program was created to provide a pathway for early-stage brands ready to grow with UNFI.

At the UNFI East Show, Startup CPG hosted a dedicated section featuring brands that had not yet launched with UNFI. UNFI team members and retail partners voted for the brand they believed should earn a spot in the UpNext Program. Congratulations to Cotto and BagelVerse, and thanks to everyone who participated!

We’re excited to bring the Startup CPG section back to the UNFI West Show in Vegas tomorrow to showcase even more emerging brands shaping the future of retail.

Watch the video to learn how to get involved, what to expect, and the next steps to become part of UNFI. 👇
