Services
Sales – Major Grocery Chains and Distributors
Running a business is a full-time job and launching or expanding a brand is a full-time job in its own right. Our team has established relationships with key purchasers across all the major chains and distributors in Canada. Save yourself the decades of time it took to establish our network and let Red River take care of the sales.
Sales – Independents and Small Grocery Chains
Experience has shown us that the majority of food & beverage brokers will only put effort into selling to the major chains. It’s not worth their time to reach out to independent and small chains. Unfortunately, if you are building a brand you need to connect with the smaller retailers too. Red River has an established network with small scale retailers and is eager to build your brand at the grassroots level.
Business Advice
