FAQs

1. When LCG Foods submits new item listings, will we submit regular or M+ pricing?

Our account managers will continue to submit our standard wholesale pricing. Retailers qualify for M+ pricing as a bonus discount on a per order basis.

2. I have negotiated pricing on certain items with LCG Foods. Will I still be eligible for M+ pricing?

No. Retailer preexisting pricing agreements (EDLP, ongoing discount, or other) overrides eligibility for M+ program. If you wish to relinquish negotiated pricing in favor of M+ pricing - send a written request by email to your account manager. However, orders that meet Margin+ order requirement are always eligible for M+ exclusive items.

3. My Margin+ order fell below $2250 after discounts and stock adjustments. What happens?

Your account manager will contact you to notify you and provide the opportunity to top up the order to requalify for M+ pricing and M+ exclusive products.

4. Can I combine a case stack deal with Margin+ discount? 

No. Case stack deal pricing may not be combined with Margin+ discount.

5. Can I combine new listing discounts with M+ discount?

No. New listing discounts may not be combined with Margin+ discount.

6. Can I combine LCG Foods published monthly promotion pricing with Margin+ discount?

Yes. Monthly promotions are applied on top of M+ price.

For example, if an item is regularly priced $10 (wholesale price), M+ price is additional 5% off ($9.50), and there is a 10% off monthly promo, then the 10% discount will be applied on M+ discounted $9.50. The final price will therefore be $8.55.

7. I don't have a loading dock. Can I still qualify for Margin+?

A loading dock is not a must, but your store must be able to receive pallet deliveries by tailgate delivery.
