Founded in 1940, Associated Food Stores (AFS) began as a collaboration of 34 independent retailers in Utah to combat competition from national chains and wholesalers. Today, AFS has expanded to serve nearly 450 independent grocers across multiple states in the western U.S., emphasizing community support and sourcing local products.
Committed to its mission of supporting local businesses, AFS continues to grow and innovate, recently appointing a new Vice President of Fresh Foods and participating in initiatives like Feed Utah to fight hunger statewide. With a focus on empowering independent grocers, AFS remains dedicated to its founding principles of unity and resilience in the ever-evolving grocery industry.
