Kroger accepting applications for Go Fresh & Local Supplier Accelerator program
America's largest grocery retailer is inviting local and regional producers — including dairy processors — and growers to apply for the second annual accelerator program.
The Kroger Co., Cincinnati, announced the second year of its Go Fresh & Local Supplier Accelerator, a program designed to enhance and accelerate the selection of local items sold in Kroger-owned stores.
The program provides a pathway to entry for local businesses of all sizes by allowing American-based growers and producers the chance to work directly with the retailer. Through the accelerator, Kroger said it is continuing to expand its fresh departments, including dairy and many more, and commitment to being “Fresh for Everyone.”
