Any reason why? Late payments/non-payments?
Sysco is the only game in town, unless you wanna go indy and pay up the ass...
I really can't think of any other reason for Sysco to even think about getting rid of a contract that is worth millions...
I'm assuming you're specifically referring to the NH area (in which case you're looking at this through far too much of a local perspective). I did some quick searching and back in a press release in 2000 it was mentioned that Vail purchased $15M/year from Sysco (and they only owned 4 resorts at the time). Fast forward 20+ years and add in a whole lot more resorts and I'd think they're probably buying over $100M/year from Sysco today. If indeed Sysco is dumping them, I could easily see a competitor like PFG or US Foods jumping on this. Even if they don't have distribution in that area of NH today, it would not at all be surprising to see them start doing it just for Vail if it means landing a contract that size.
How could they? Your in Colorado (?) Only thing they gotta do is run the lifts, nature takes care of the rest.
