C&S Wholesale Grocers is partnering with Atlantic Grocery Supply (AGS), the grocery division of Pompano, Florida-based Sun Commodities Inc. (Sun Group), to provide wholesale supply solutions to retailers in the Caribbean and Central and South America.
Sun Group has a history of supplying retailers throughout the Southeast and Caribbean. Founded in 1995, it has expanded over the years to include divisions supplying retailers, export and foodservice customers. In 2018, Sun added the AGS division to provide grocery items to customers in the U.S. and abroad.
In this agreement with C&S, export customers will be supplied with competitive pricing and a grocery assortment of more than 40,000 items.
“We’re excited to partner with C&S and leverage their strong national scale to offer the same competitive supply to all our export customers,” said AGS President Christopher Miller. “With the combined offering of our leading produce supply along with the entire grocery assortment of C&S, we’re able to provide the export market with an unparalleled offering.”
The new partnership will operate from C&S’s one-million square foot warehouse in Miami, with C&S and AGS partnering on sales to Florida-based independent retail customers and AGS leading sales to export customers.
The Sun Group will continue to provide produce to retailers and foodservice customers throughout the Southeast and Caribbean.
“We look forward to working with AGS and leveraging our strong capabilities to provide a superior assortment and service experience. Together, C&S and AGS will create an optimized supply chain model that brings unparalleled value to AGS’s customers,” said C&S CEO Eric Winn.
“C&S is committed to growing our customer base and building on our quality and service legacy of braggingly happy customers.”
