Question 1
I am wondering where I can get a list of all the food and drink manufacturers for a particular country?
For example if one wanted to know what food/drink manufacturers are in the US.
Question 2
Is there a simple list of all the products that a particular company creates.
I know pesico on there site, gives I believe all there items / brands they make.
The reason why I ask is I am wondering how (initially first opening up) grocery stores know what products / manufactures to go to if they are not made aware of all the manufactures they have a choice to go thru. And even if a grocery store used a wholesaler/distributer company like sysco ( and by-pass the manufacturers directly ) they would still need to get a list of all sysco products they get from the different manufactures they have accounts with. For example just because a whole saler get products from pesico doesn't mean they get all the products pesico offers ... they could chose to just get certain items of pesico ( unless they normally have all of a particular manufactures products by law or by a good standard choices )
So the 2 basic questions come down to getting a complete list of manufacturers for a given industry and a complete list of the products a manufacturer has. Only with this information a grocery store ( or a store in general ) can truely make the best desicion for there stores.
Anybody have a grocery store or restranunt and care to post how you went about find the right places to buy products for your store ?
Did you go to any trade shows or just do some research and hope for the best
