United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI) is restructuring its distribution network to cut costs and enhance service for retail customers, planning to close its Allentown, Pennsylvania facility in fiscal year 2026, impacting 716 employees. This move is part of a three-year financial recovery strategy initiated last year after two years of inconsistent results. Alongside closures, UNFI is consolidating operations and recently opened a new, AI-powered distribution center in Manchester, Pennsylvania, aiming to improve efficiency and operational performance across its network.
