US Foods Holding Corp. has announced that it is ending merger discussions with Performance Food Group (PFG) and has officially terminated the information-sharing process between the two companies.
Instead of pursuing consolidation, US Foods emphasized that it will move forward independently and remain focused on its 2025–2027 strategic roadmap, which prioritizes substantial investments in e-commerce capabilities and digital transformation. Key areas of focus include:
- Expanding its e-commerce infrastructure to handle higher order volume and improve customer experience.
- Modernizing its online ordering tools, making it easier for restaurants, foodservice operators, and institutional buyers to manage procurement more efficiently.
- Driving deeper digital engagement, including enhanced analytics, personalized tools, mobile ordering improvements, and integrated account management features.
The decision signals US Foods’ confidence in its ability to grow organically through digital innovation rather than consolidation. In an industry where speed, accuracy, and convenience are increasingly critical, strengthening e-commerce and digital platforms is expected to improve customer retention, streamline operations, and create new revenue opportunities.
By leaning into digital modernization, US Foods positions itself to compete more aggressively in a foodservice market undergoing significant technological transition—where suppliers must blend traditional supply chain strength with advanced digital commerce tools to stay ahead.
