SpartanNash Corporate HQ Prioritizes People, Fun
Food solutions company SpartanNash celebrated the re-opening of its Grand Rapids, Mich.-based corporate headquarters, which was reimagined and renovated to inspire creativity and meet the evolving needs of its associates.
Hundreds of SpartanNash associates work out of the Grand Rapids Service Center. The newly renovated building is also adjacent to SpartanNash’s Grand Rapids Distribution Center, the company’s largest distribution center.
Every aspect of the renovation project was inspired by the company’s People First culture and guided by key principles to transform, energize, amplify and modernize working spaces. The result is open spaces for collaboration, an exciting color palette, the use of increased natural and LED lighting and agile workspaces with stylish furniture and technology.
“This beautiful new space is a great example of SpartanNash’s commitment to our Associates,” President and CEO Tony Sarsam said. “By offering bright, collaborative spaces for our teams to work together after years apart, we can celebrate a fresh start with an environment where people feel empowered to create winning work and innovative solutions. By putting our associates’ experience at the forefront of this redesign, we’re doubling down on SpartanNash’s most important investment: our people.”
To bring the company’s core behavior of We Have Fun to life and support a culture where associates look forward to coming into the office, the renovated space includes a Starbucks location, expanded café and variety of entertainment spaces including games for associates. All of these spaces were designed and modernized to attract and retain top talent, inspire creativity and promote a team environment.
Before becoming SpartanNash, Spartan Stores established a presence in Grand Rapids as far back as 1918 and has continued to expand and reinvest in the community. The current corporate headquarters was constructed in 1976.
“Our history in West Michigan traces back more than 100 years and it has been an honor to continue to deepen our roots and grow as a part of this community as we redefine what the new SpartanNash looks like when we move toward the future,” Sarsam said.
The headquarters hosts departments and leadership focused on retail operations, supply chain, strategy, marketing, communications, legal, customer support, HR, IT and more. It serves as the home base to those who support frontline associates in retail stores and distribution centers as they serve SpartanNash independent customers and in-store guests.

The colossal coconut pop-up will invite Texans to celebrate summer and Vita Coco’s new hydrating and refreshing Coconut Juice, which launched earlier this summer, with a new invigorating and tropical coconut experience.
Standing over three stories tall, the giant inflatable coconut will be visible throughout the neighborhood, a nod to “Everything is Bigger in Texas.” In addition to the coconut, the roadside experience will be a can’t-miss stop for Texans, featuring local food trucks, outdoor games, and the opportunity for visitors to hydrate with products from Vita Coco. The experience will highlight the brand’s first juice beverage offering, Vita Coco Coconut Juice, conveniently canned for consumers on the go.
“We know summer in Texas means two things: heat and the need for refreshing and fun summertime experiences that help you cool down. The World’s Biggest Coconut Experience offers Texans both, while introducing Vita Coco’s most tropical flavor profile yet, giving consumers the chance to enjoy all the goodness coconuts bring,” said Jane Prior, chief marketing officer at The Vita Coco Company.
“Our new Coconut Juice has a big, bold flavor, so we knew we had to celebrate the launch in a big, bold way. And what better way to do that than with the World’s Biggest Coconut in the state where everything’s bigger.”
The World’s Biggest Coconut experience in Dallas will give local friends and families a fun pit stop during their weekend plans, offering complimentary Vita Coco Coconut Juice, games, merchandise giveaways, and photo opportunities.
