The merchandising event will take place on Feb. 22 and focus on
products across grocery and household, apparel, beach, tourism and
general merchandise, among other categories. Suppliers can find
additional information about the virtual event and apply to attend
here.
Building on the success of last year’s localization summit,
Walgreens aims to bring in local businesses from all 50 states, the
District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, to evaluate opportunities to
build more locally relevant product offerings for Walgreens
customers and deeper collaboration with new suppliers for the
future.
“To be a trusted health and well-being destination, we work hard
to remain relevant for customers in each of our communities and
curate a selection of products and services that meet their unique
needs,” said Luke Rauch, Walgreens chief merchandising officer and
senior vice president. “When our shelves reflect the communities we
serve, we can better live out our purpose of more joyful lives
through better health.”
All sourcing and product submissions will be made through
RangeMe, the industry-standard online product discovery and
sourcing platform. Walgreens will review submissions, and will
invite selected suppliers for face-to-face virtual meetings with
buyers on ECRM’s industry leading virtual meeting platform, ECRM
Connect, where chosen suppliers can introduce new and innovative
products into the marketplace. ECRM’s dedicated support team will
help ensure that buyer and seller connections are executed
seamlessly.
