❤️ Certco was proud to step out for heart health at the 2026 American Heart Association Madison Heart Walk! Our Hearts of Certco team placed fourth on the event’s Team Honor Roll. We are grateful to every walker, donor and supporter who helped turn collective action into meaningful impact. The need is urgent: 9 out of 10 people who experience cardiac arrest outside a hospital do not survive, often because no one nearby performs CPR. But extraordinary things happen when people take action—a small step, a simple skill, a lifesaving moment. Every walker and every dollar donated can mean more people trained in CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments. At Certco, we believe strong communities are built by people who show up for one another. Thank you to the American Heart Association and everyone who made this year’s Madison Heart Walk a powerful reminder that, in a heartbeat, each of us can be the difference.

We're again grateful that the American Heart Association chose us to be a part of their first year of the Heart Walk Torch Journey! We had a lot of fun getting employees engaged and spreading awareness for Heart Health! We look forward to seeing you at the Heart Walk next month! #Certco #AmericanHeartAssociation #HeartWalkTorch #Teamwork #HealthyHeart

As doors opened to the Certco Inc. 2026 Fall Food Show, Certco's Independent Retail Grocery members were invited to see, touch, smell and taste the freshest varieties of product and floral now available through our newly formed partnership with Heartland Produce Co. Most importantly, stores met and engaged with the Heartland team members who showcased the passion they have for #Certco member stores. We like to say here at Certco Inc. "It's more than a Membership, it's a partnership." We take pride in going a step further around here and really creating a family type network of stores, #Certco employees and suppliers. We are ecstatic to welcome everyone from the Heartland Produce Co family to our #Certco family. During the Fall Food Show, we were encouraged to note the importance of relationships and inspired to continue to build on those we have and always seek and build new relationships. We are proud to say Welcome, Heartland Produce Co. and here's to forward growth for us all!

We’re excited for what’s ahead! 🌱 This week, our team had the opportunity to attend the Certco Fall Food Show, marking an exciting milestone as we kick off our new partnership with Certco as the preferred produce partner for their store members! The show gave us the perfect opportunity to meet so many Certco Inc. members, introduce our team, build new relationships, and share our excitement for the partnership ahead. We’re looking forward to working alongside each store and bringing our experience, service, and passion for fresh produce to the Certco family. We were also proud to debut our floral partnership with Krueger Wholesale, expanding the fresh solutions we’re able to bring to Certco members. 💐 And of course, we had to have a little fun along the way! A huge thank you to our very own Jesse Karaffa for bringing the energy as our Family Feud host and to everyone who stopped by to play! 🎉 This partnership is about more than produce — it’s about building relationships, supporting stores, and growing together. We’re incredibly excited to get started and can’t wait to see what we accomplish together! Here’s to fresh beginnings and a strong partnership ahead! 🍎🥦🍓 #Certco #FreshProduce #Partnership #FoodShow #FreshFood #Floral #GrowingTogether #ProduceIndustry
