About the Federated Group
In the early 1900s, a grocer in Buffalo, New York named S. M. Flickinger realized that the
small, independent grocers could work together to compete more effectively with the giant
grocery chain of the time: A&P. Flickinger saw that part of A&P’s advantage was their private
brand, so the innovative Flickinger created the Red & White brand, formed a buying co-op and
attracted quality vendors to offer customers high quality products at competitive prices. This
became the foundation of Federated’s Retail Grocery business.
Throughout the years, Federated has added more proprietary brands to its exclusive line-up,
increased its scope to include Foodservice, Supply Chain Consolidation and SailPointe
Creative Group, and has helped retailers, wholesalers and distributors throughout the country
gain scale and increase profitability. These are the kinds of solutions that Federated Group has
embraced for over 75 years, and the kinds of innovations that would make Flickinger proud
today.
