These statements are based on management’s current expectations and estimates; actual results may differ materially due in part to the risk factors within Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K forthe fiscal year ended June 29, 2024 and in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, therisk factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” on page 10 of this prospectus, and the risk factors set forth below:

| • |     | the risk that if sales from our locally managed customers do not grow at the same rate as sales from multi-unit 
 customers, our gross margins may decline;                                                                       |

| • |     | periods of significant or prolonged inflation or deflation and their impact on our product costs and 
 profitability generally;                                                                             |

| • |     | the risk that we are unlikely to be able to predict inflation over the long term, and lower inflation is likely 
 to produce lower gross profit;                                                                                  |

| • |     | the risk that our efforts to modify truck routing, including our small truck initiative, in order to reduce 
 outbound transportation costs may be unsuccessful;                                                          |

| • |     | the risk that we may not be able to accelerate and/or identify additional administrative cost savings in order to 
 compensate for any gross profit or supply chain cost leverage challenges;                                         |

| • |     | risks related to unfavorable conditions in the Americas and Europe and the impact on our results
