2016 SN Top 75 U.S. and Canadian Food Retailers and Wholesalers

While supermarkets continue to consolidate, sales of food and consumables at alternate formats continue to take a bigger slice of the competitive pie, according to SN’s annual list of the Top 75 retailers and wholesalers in North America.

Four of the top 10 companies are not traditional supermarket operators — two are discounters Walmart and Target and two are drugstores, whose sales of food and household items surpass the volumes of dozens of conventional operators.

The 2016 Top 75 company information includes: ranking, company name, annual sales, fiscal year-end date, store count, headquarters city, top executive(s) and, where pertinent, additional information in a footnote.
