Utz Brands Inc. has purchased distribution rights in the Central Florida region from an existing third-party direct store delivery distributor, National Food Corp., for an undisclosed sum, according to a press release. This acquisition of 21 DSD routes provides Utz with an opportunity to accelerate the company's share of the salty snack category across Central Florida, including Orlando, Tampa and Sarasota.

With this acquisition, Utz will increase its investment in the Central Florida region and provide enhanced retailer support with increased distribution facilities and sales management, higher service velocity and an expanded route distribution system.
