McLane Grocery Distribution

McLane Grocery Distribution serves more than 46,000 retail locations, including convenience stores, mass market retailers, warehouse clubs, drug stores and more.

McLane released the McLane Edge digital platform in early 2021. The platform includes marketing and merchandising insights, sales-building programs, services, promotions, category trends and new products. McLane Edge combines the distributor’s Strategic Merchandising Portal and Strategic Merchandising Solutions Magazine into one entity. Retailers using McLane Edge can also use it to order special offers and featured items from the McLane Edge website.

McLane has met the preexisting challenge of a shortage of delivery drivers head on through its first-ever National Hiring Day in July 2021, in which it attracted more than 1,400 candidates and extended job offers to about 760 candidates.

More recently in August, McLane became a corporate member of the National Hispanic Corporate Council (NHCC), a resource to help corporate America maximize the Hispanic market opportunity. Founded in 1985, the NHCC is a collaborative community that provides access to Hispanic talent and consumer resources, and that offers insights into the latest corporate best practices to effectively compete in the growing Hispanic market.
