The food industry has been struggling to adapt to the world around them. With pickup and delivery services impacting grocery store sales, and the rise of services like DoorDash and Uber Eats rebooting consumer habits, competition and change are the new norm.
A key player quietly rebooting the grocery and supply chain sectors is SpartanNash. Founded in 1885 as a tiny candy and tobacco store in Devil’s Lake, North Dakota, SpartanNash is a $9.7 Billion Fortune 400 company with 17,000 Associates that delivers to 2,300 independent grocers and hundreds of their own stores. They also “deliver a little taste of home” to all who serve the U.S. military no matter where they are stationed around the globe.
We invited SpartanNash CEO Tony Sarsam to this episode of The Reboot Chronicles for a behind the scenes tour of his reboot story. A thoughtful agile leader and industry veteran from Frito-Lay, Borden, and Nestle, Tony has been transforming the company—and keeping his teams on a mission to “Make Yesterday Jealous For How Great Today Is.”
