July 9, 2025

Expanding into the U.S. market is a strategic goal for many Quebec agri-food businesses. But to do so successfully, it’s essential to know the right players. That’s exactly what the U.S. Store Directory from Groupe Export offers: an exclusive, English-language directory featuring key grocery retailers and food chains across the United States.

With over 200 pages of strategic information, this comprehensive resource provides an overview of both small and large players in the U.S. retail landscape. It’s a practical tool for targeting your business development efforts, identifying potential partners, and deepening your understanding of the market.

Updated by the Groupe Export team to reflect market changes—such as mergers, acquisitions, or new banners—this catalogue has become a go-to reference for many of our members. In fact, nearly 100 companies already use it and frequently tell us how valuable it is to their export strategy.

Exclusively available to members, the U.S. Store Directory is far more than a simple list: it’s a strategic asset to guide your go-to-market plans and identify the best sales channels for your products.

  • Headquarters address
