Grocery Food business owners: what is your experience working with wholesalers and distributors to get into retail? Also, what's your experience with their fees and upcharges and how is it affecting planning ahead?
I came across this article: https://grocerynerd.substack.com/p/grocery-update20-retailer-and-wholesaler that talks about this in detail and this article does paint a very grim picture about these fees, and upsells.
What is your experience with all this?
