Topco Associates, Inc.
 PROFILE
Fighting to reach the summit, Topco Associates is the nation's #2 wholesale grocery cooperative (behind Wakefern Food). Owned by about 30 companies (mostly supermarket operators) the co-op uses the combined number of its members to buy products cheaper than members could buy on their own. Topco markets more than 7,000 private-label items, including fresh meat, dairy and bakery goods, produce, general merchandise, health and beauty products, and pharmacy items. Topco's brands include Food Club, Pet Club, and a line of "Top" labels such as Top Crest. It also helps market items sold under members' own brand names. Formed to help grocers deal with WWII shortages, most of Topco's members are in the US.
