The latest completed fiscal year saw 129.5% growth in net sales, to $23.48 billion, which primarily reflects $12.56 billion in incremental sales from the Supervalu Inc. acquisition in October 2018, including $2.1 billion in sales from retail stores formerly operated by Supervalu that UNFI reported as held for disposition and that numbered 96 at fiscal year-end. Also contributing to higher sales were a 53rd week of operation in fiscal 2019, as well as an increase in independent-store channel wholesale sales, partially offset by a decrease in wholesale sales to other supermarkets.
