Acosta Group Unveils Premium+: The Engine Behind Better Retail Execution

Acosta Group’s Premium Retail Services has launched Premium+ as a new shared identity for its merchandising organization, designed to unite nationwide field teams with centralized technology, logistics, training, and real-time operational support. The Oct. 13, 2026 rollout is meant to help brands convert retail plans into more consistent shelf execution across thousands of stores. Acosta said Premium+ continues as a standalone agency for Premium Retail Services, while Premium+ becomes the shared merchandising offering in the market, without disrupting existing client relationships or field operations. Premium+ is built around five connected capabilities, including proprietary 360 technology for shelf intelligence, a hiring “talent engine” with more than 60 recruiters, retail-concierge onboarding, 70+ operations specialists for rapid issue resolution, and logistics distribution through its network supported by 45+ warehouse staff.
