FMS Solutions Schedules Second Annual Profit Summit for Grocery Retailers

The two-day summit aims to equip independent retailers with the same analytical infrastructure typically reserved for massive national chains. Participants will engage in workshops covering financial benchmarking, labor management, and inventory shrink reduction. According to Bob Graybill, CEO of FMS Solutions, the event is designed to bridge the gap between mere survival and long-term profitability for smaller operators.

The program features insights from industry heavyweights, including former Ahold executive Bhavdeep Singh, who will deliver the keynote address on scaling operations. A panel of active retailers—managing operations ranging from single stores to 74-location chains—will share tactical financial decisions currently driving their bottom lines. National Grocers Association President Greg Ferrara will also provide an overview of the shifting regulatory and competitive landscape. Early bird registration remains open until August 1, 2026, with additional details available at fmsprofitsummit.com.
