Congratulations to Lunette for being recognized as one of The New York Times’ best restaurants in San Francisco!

Led by Chef/Owner Nite Yun, Lunette brings the flavors and traditions of Cambodian cooking to San Francisco’s iconic Ferry Building. The restaurant has earned praise for dishes that are bold and comforting at the same time, all rooted in Cambodia’s rich culinary heritage.

Better data doesn't automatically lead to better decisions. People make the difference.
That was the central message of Bhavdeep Singh's presentation on the Human Premium at the 2026 FMS Profit Summit.

Drawing on his experience leading major retail operations, Bhavdeep challenged attendees to think about what it takes to turn information into action. Technology and data are powerful tools, but courage, curiosity, connection, and strong leadership remain essential.

It's a message that resonates with independent grocers navigating a rapidly changing industry.
Thank you, Bhavdeep, for sharing your perspective with our attendees.

Minimum wage increases take effect in many states on January 1. If you’re planning a menu price increase to keep up, now is the time to get it right.

Guests notice when prices go up. What keeps them coming back is feeling like they’re getting more for their money. A few ways to raise prices without losing traffic:

▪️ Start with a target: Know the exact increase you need to protect your margins before you touch the menu.
▪️ Lead with your high movers: Your best sellers are the least sensitive to price changes.
▪️ Use smarter price endings: Prices ending in $.50 or $.95 let you move up in smaller steps instead of jumping a full dollar.
▪️ Step up hospitality: Guests are five times more likely to return after a memorable experience with an employee. Meet with your team before and after the change.

How is your team preparing for January? Tell us in the comments.

What's happening in Washington matters to independent grocers.

At the 2026 FMS Profit Summit, Greg Ferrara, President and CEO of the National Grocers Association (NGA), shared a look at the policy landscape, the upcoming midterm elections, and the issues independent retailers need to watch.

For grocers already managing tight margins and rising operating costs, understanding what's coming is an important part of planning ahead.

Thank you, Greg, for bringing the independent grocery perspective from Washington to our Profit Summit.

Congratulations to Liholiho Yacht Club for being named one of The New York Times’ best restaurants in San Francisco!

Chef/Owner Ravi Kapur calls his cooking “heritage-driven,” drawing on his Hawaiian-Chinese and Indian roots. It shows up across the menu, from the beef tongue steamed buns and shaved pig’s-head salad to the rendang curry and the much-loved baked Hawaii. Back in its original Lower Nob Hill home, Liholiho remains one of the city’s most distinctive dining destinations.

FMS is proud to support Ravi and the Liholiho team. Congratulations on this well-earned recognition!

Four days until San Antonio. Four days until peer roundtables, real data, real operators—until we see what independent grocers can accomplish when they're in one room, sharpening their edge together. The energy is already building. See you there!

8 in 10 shoppers are using money-saving strategies at the grocery store, according to our 2026 U.S. Independent Grocers Financial Study. They're chasing promotions, buying less, and buying private brands.

That behavior is already in your stores. The question is whether it's building your margin or someone else's.

At the FMS Profit Summit, George Essex of Branded opens our private label session with the economics behind the category and the strategies that fit the program you have. Then leading retailers share what has worked for them in their own stores.
