The company currently supplies Lowes Foods Stores, a North Carolina based grocer with over 100 locations. The company now supplies the Lowes chain of stores through Merchant Distributors, Inc., (MDI) a sister company of Lowes Foods. MDI supplies over 850 independent grocery stores in the Southeast in addition to the Lowes stores. This relationship allows the company to deliver to one central location and minimize delivery costs for any potential sales. The company is trying to implement product placement with other east coast grocery chains but lack of capital has hampered these initiatives. Currently there are suppliers of “all natural” pre-pressed patties but no grassfed burgers. The Company would like to exploit this in light of current trends toward healthier lifestyles.
