United Natural Foods (UNFI) is on our Best Ideas list as a SHORT, while Kroger (KR) is on our SHORT bench.
We will be hosting a fireside chat with Bob Ferrari, an industry veteran in the supply-chain space on Wednesday, August 23rd at 11:00AM EST. We will be speaking with Bob on a number of supply chain topics, with a primary focus on the potential winners and losers in the future of food retail. Companies that will be discussed include, but are not limited to: WFM, AMZN, KR & UNFI.
We will be discussing the following topics:
- Getting into the details of both WFM’s and AMZN’s supply chains; how they are different and how they need to change in order to succeed in the food retail space.
- A look at the future of food retail through the lens of a supply chain veteran. In particular, store layouts and supply chain design will be top of mind.
- Kroger (KR) will be caught flat footed. Bob will share his thoughts on why conventional retailers, particularly KR, will be disadvantaged in the future of food retail, and why it will take large investments in order for them to catch up.
- UNFI will need to pivot to survive; all business segments will be pressured.
- And more!
