In 2015, UNFI purchased Albertsons for $2.3 billion. The move was widely seen as a way to increase UNFI’s presence in the natural and organic food space.
However, some analysts have questioned whether the move was a wise one, given that Albertsons has been struggling financially in recent years.
UNFI’s purchase of Albertsons is an interesting one. On the one hand, it gives UNFI a larger footprint in the natural and organic food space.
On the other, it takes on a struggling company that may not be able to turn things around. only time will tell if this was a wise move by UNFI.
