SEG Plans Own Brand Supplier Forum

Southeastern Grocers (SEG), the parent company of Fresco y Más, Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie, is looking to expand its collection of private label products.

In partnership with ECRM and RangeMe, the company is hosting a two-day Own Brand Supplier Forum Jan. 25-26. Potential supplier partners will meet virtually with SEG officials with the hopes of earning a spot in the company’s private label portfolio.

The forum event will begin with a virtual session for new and existing suppliers on Wednesday, Jan. 25. The event will feature a presentation from Chief Merchandising Officer Dewayne Rabon about SEG’s strategy and vision for the company’s own brands going forward. The session will also include a series of informative speakers from the grocer’s own brand, marketing and supply chain teams. The day will conclude with individual meetings for select suppliers.

The second day of the forum, Thursday, Jan. 26, will focus exclusively on new supplier partnerships. ECRM will host the virtual event, providing pre-registered participants the opportunity to engage with category managers to share their company background, product information and marketing plans.

Based in Jacksonville, Fla., SEG operates about 420 grocery stores, 140 liquor stores and more than 200 in-store pharmacies throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.
