Each Foodstuffs Company operates a Merchandise department, which has responsibility for managing the relationship with our suppliers for all the products we buy and sell. Our purchasing model is mixed, which means that some products are purchased via our wholesale distribution centres (DC purchasing), while other products are ordered and supplied direct to store (Direct/Charge Through). In general, all purchasing, whether DC or Direct, is billed to the relevant Foodstuffs co-operative, and we then charge through to our members for their direct purchasing.
