Bringing the Best Produce to America’s Communities

Grocery retailers are measured on the freshness of their produce department and rely on partners who can deliver quality season after season. As a produce supplier, it can be difficult to go head to head with existing market leaders and newcomers alike to maintain your prime shelf position.

Food sales agents and brokers are critical to building relationships with grocery retailers and not all are created equal. Some have limited experience in produce, and even more have never focused on produce at all. Without understanding the pain points a grocery retailer can experience in the produce department, sales agents aren’t equipped to help suppliers position their products in the right way or at the right time.

Epic Sales Partners approaches things differently, leveraging over 35 years of experience within the fresh industry and a dedicated produce team to build the perfect partnerships between suppliers and grocery retailers. We focus on finding the right retailers with specific demands and the right suppliers who bring innovation and quality to the market. Not only do we know a clementine from a kumquat, we understand industry trends and local demographics and provide consultative support that flexes with your business.

It’s easy to envision the rainbow of colors and textures customers can discover in the produce department. The extent of the variety can mean much more complexity for grocery retail buyers to manage, making it the perfect opportunity for food sales agents with deep experience to show their value.

Epic Sales Partners works with you to custom tailor your produce offerings for each grocery retailer and their individual customers to meet market demands for innovation and quality. By working not only as your representative but as your trusted partner, we help you develop lasting partnerships built on a sustainable supply chain of products. This makes sales more dependable from both grocery retailers and suppliers.

Consistently Fresh Produce that Retailers Depend On

While checking off items on customers’ current grocery lists is essential, introducing new products is a critical part of growing your business now and in the future. We regularly work with our produce suppliers to surface new products to grocery retailers that align with promotional and seasonal calendars, creating a win-win for everyone.

Epic Sales Partners' produce associates understand the nuances of the produce market and the absolute importance of produce freshness through the supply chain and onto the shelf. They provide two-way communication and industry insights so you always have the pulse of the customer and can continue to offer options to grocery retailers that increase repeat visits and drive new purchases.

“We want to change the way people buy produce, giving customers more convenient access to fresh produce. Produce buyers didn’t understand our vision at first, but Epic was able to translate our passion for fresh foods into projected increases in store traffic and produce sales.”
