We know that the grocery industry is fast-paced and competitive so being able to mentor and watch these brands grow and achieve success excites us.”
RxSugar®, a KeHE elevate™ participating brand, has expanded to more than 15,000 stores while within the emerging brands program, including Albertsons, Meijer, Price Chopper, and Sprouts. Founder and CEO of RxSugar, Steve Hanley shared, “For the past two years, the support of KeHE and the KeHE elevate™ program has been cherished and invaluable.
