Product Updates
At Festival Foods, we know our guests may have questions about product shortages, supply disruptions and discontinuations. We work closely with vendors to stay informed and provide alternatives when possible.
Thank you for being a valued guest.
Pricing Update
Due to new regulations, some products may see an increased price due to rising costs. We strive to provide our guests with the best quality, and pricing of product, available to us. Festival Foods will continue to monitor any regulatory changes and adjust as necessary to best serve our guests.
Guinness Supply Disruptions
Diageo Beer, Guinness’ manufacturer, has reported rapid growth in the U.S. and internationally, leading to an unexpected out of stocks and shortages for local consumers. This unprecedented demand from this growth has caused supply challenges as we approach St. Patrick’s Day.
In conjunction with the increased demand, Guinness has also been experiencing European freight congestion, causing temporary delays on a portion of incoming shipments scheduled for U.S. consumers.
Festival Foods is carefully monitoring distributor inventories and working to prioritize orders to arrive within our stores when product becomes available.
Egg Prices & Availability: What You Need to Know
Why Are Egg Prices Higher?
Due to the impact of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI)—commonly known as bird flu—the poultry industry is facing supply shortages, which have caused a rise in egg prices across the country. Farmers are working hard to rebuild their flocks, but this process takes time.
How We’re Supporting You
At Festival Foods, we know how important it is to have fresh, affordable eggs for your family. That’s why we’re doing everything we can to keep our shelves stocked while offering the best possible prices.
“We understand how frustrating price increases can be, and we’re committed to doing everything possible to support our guests during this time. We’re working closely with our suppliers to secure quality eggs at the most competitive prices available.”
