Naifeh's - a legacy of independent excellence since 1910 

We recently completed training with the Naifeh's Food Stores team and are proud to support their produce departments with AI-driven tools built for fresh. With better forecasting, clearer financials, and real-time visibility, their teams can spend less time on paperwork and more time on execution where it matters most.

As a 4th and 5th-generation family retailer, Naifeh's represents the heart of independent grocery. We're honored to partner with a company rooted in tradition and help equip them for success for generations to come.

On-site at Kimberton Whole Foods

Our team was on-site training and deploying Empower Fresh AI with the Kimberton-Whole-Foods team. From hands-on sessions to real-world ordering workflows, it was great collaborating with a retailer so intentional about quality, freshness, and operational excellence.

A huge thank you to the Kimberton team for the partnership and engagement. This is what successful technology adoption looks like: side by side, in-store, with real people solving real challenges.

We’re excited to support your produce teams as you take the next step toward smarter, data-driven ordering.

White’s Foodliner (Kansas) is growing — and scaling the right way.

Adding a new store takes more than square footage. It takes systems that deliver consistency, visibility, and smarter decision-making across every location.

EmpowerFresh is proud to support White's Foodliner as they expand, bringing AI-driven forecasting, clearer financial insight, and disciplined ordering into each produce department. The result: protected margins, reduced shrink, and stronger inventory turns — even as operations grow.

This is what profitable growth looks like: strong fundamentals, real-time data, and tools that evolve with your business.
