\nThe national health and wellness retailer is looking for community-relevant vendors to virtually pitch their products on Feb. 22<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

DEERFIELD, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Walgreens announced today that it will hold its annual Localization Summit, a virtual showcase for diverse, local and regional businesses and entrepreneurs to share their retail offerings with the merchants of the national drugstore chain. The virtual event, hosted by RangeMe and ECRM, provides local suppliers the opportunity to connect with the Walgreens Merchandising team, share their products and receive feedback with the ultimate goal of being stocked on Walgreens shelves in their local areas.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe merchandising event will take place on Feb. 22 and focus on products across grocery and household, apparel, beach, tourism and general merchandise, among other categories. Suppliers can find additional information about the virtual event and apply to attend here<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\nBuilding on the success of last year\u2019s localization summit, Walgreens aims to bring in local businesses from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, to evaluate opportunities to build more locally relevant product offerings for Walgreens customers and deeper collaboration with new suppliers for the future.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cTo be a trusted health and well-being destination, we work hard to remain relevant for customers in each of our communities and curate a selection of products and services that meet their unique needs,\u201d said Luke Rauch, Walgreens chief marketing officer and senior vice president. \u201cWhen our shelves reflect the communities we serve, we can better live out our purpose of more joyful lives through better health.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nAll sourcing and product submissions will be made through RangeMe, the industry-standard online product discovery and sourcing platform. Walgreens will review submissions, and will invite selected suppliers for face-to-face virtual meetings with buyers on ECRM\u2019s industry leading virtual meeting platform, ECRM Connect<\/a>, where chosen suppliers can introduce new and innovative products into the marketplace. ECRM\u2019s dedicated support team will help ensure that buyer and seller connections are executed seamlessly.\n<\/p>\n
