Exhibit 10.39

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made as of the ____ day of ___________, 2013, by and between
United Natural Foods, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation), and
_________________ (“Indemnitee”), a director or officer of the Corporation.

WHEREAS, it is essential to the Corporation to retain and attract as directors
and officers the most capable persons available, and

WHEREAS, the substantial increase in corporate litigation subjects directors and
officers to expensive litigation risks at the same time that the availability of
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance has been severely limited, and

WHEREAS, it is now and has always been the express policy of the Corporation to
indemnify its directors and officers so as to provide them with the maximum
possible protection permitted by law, and

WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the
Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and insurance as adequate in the
present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as a director or officer
without adequate protection, and

WHEREAS, the Corporation desires Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of
the Corporation.

NOW THEREFORE, the Corporation and Indemnitee do hereby agree as follows:

1.     Agreement to Serve. Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to serve as a
director or officer of the Corporation for so long as he/she is duly elected or
appointed or until such time as he/she tenders his/her resignation in writing.

2.     Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

(a)     The term “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit, or proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the
Corporation or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative nature, and any appeal therefrom.

(b)     The term “Corporate Status” shall mean the status of a person who is or
was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has
agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise.

(c)     The term “Expenses” shall include, without limitation, attorneys’ fees,
retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, travel expenses,
duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage,
delivery service fees and other disbursements or expenses of the types
customarily incurred in connection with investigations, judicial or
administrative proceedings or appeals, but shall not include the amount of
judgments, fines or penalties against Indemnitee or amounts paid in settlement
in connection with such matters.

(d)     References to “other enterprise” shall include employee benefit plans;
references to “fines” shall include any excise tax assessed with respect to any
employee benefit plan; references to “serving at the request of the Corporation”
shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director,
officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its
participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a
manner he/she reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants and
beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a
manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in
this Agreement.

3.     Indemnification in Third−Party Proceedings. The Corporation shall
indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 3 if
Indemnitee was or is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise
involved in any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the
Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of his/her Corporate
Status or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in
connection therewith, against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on
his/her behalf in connection with such Proceeding, if Indemnitee acted in good
faith and in a manner which he/she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to of any criminal
Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create
a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which
he/she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of
the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable
cause to believe that his/her conduct was unlawful.

4.     Indemnification in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. The
Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this
Paragraph 4 if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or
otherwise involved in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of his/her Corporate Status or by
reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in connection
therewith, against all Expenses and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his/her
behalf in connection with such Proceeding, if he/she acted in good faith and in
a manner which he/she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under
this Paragraph 4 in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which
Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless and
only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of Delaware shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such Expenses as the Court of Chancery shall deem proper.

5.     Exceptions to Right of Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, except as set forth in Paragraph 10, the Corporation
shall not indemnify the Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part
thereof) initiated by the Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the Corporation shall not indemnify the Indemnitee
to the extent the Indemnitee is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and
in the event the Corporation makes any indemnification payments to the
Indemnitee and the Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of
insurance, the Indemnitee shall promptly refund such indemnification payments to
the Corporation to the extent of such insurance reimbursement. Further, the
Corporation shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any payment to
Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding in which Indemnitee is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction, in a final judgment from which no appeal can be
taken, to have violated or breached any fiduciary duty imposed on Indemnitee by
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

6.     Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified
against all Expenses incurred by him/her or on his/her behalf in connection
therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, if any Proceeding or any claim, issue
or matter therein is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a
disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to the
Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that the Indemnitee was liable to the
Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by the Indemnitee, (iv)
an adjudication that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner
he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, and (v) with respect to any criminal proceeding, an adjudication
that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was
unlawful, the Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have
been wholly successful with respect thereto.

7.     Notification and Defense of Claim. As a condition precedent to his/her
right to be indemnified, the Indemnitee must notify the Corporation in writing
as soon as practicable of any Proceeding for which indemnity will or could be
sought by him and provide the Corporation with a copy of any summons, citation,
subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to such
Proceeding with which he/she is served. With respect to any Proceeding of which
the Corporation is so notified, the Corporation will be entitled to participate
therein at its own expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own
expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. After
notice from the Corporation to the Indemnitee of its election so to assume such
defense, the Corporation shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such
claim, other than as provided below in this Paragraph 7. The Indemnitee shall
have the right to employ his/her own counsel in connection with such claim, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation
of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the
Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been
authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel to the Indemnitee shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any
significant issue between the Corporation and the Indemnitee in the conduct of
the defense of such action or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have
employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases
the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be at the expense of
the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement. The
Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of the Indemnitee, to
assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or
as to which counsel for the Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion
provided for in clause (ii) above.

8.    Advancement of Expenses. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9 below,
in the event that the Corporation does not assume the defense pursuant to
Paragraph 7 of this Agreement of any Proceeding to which Indemnitee was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of his/her Corporate Status
or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

omitted in connection therewith and of which the Corporation receives notice
under this Agreement, any Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in defending such
Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition
of such matter; provided, however, that the payment of such Expenses incurred by
the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of such matter shall be made
only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay
all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that
the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as
authorized in this Agreement. Such undertaking shall be accepted without
reference to the financial ability of the Indemnitee to make repayment.

9.     Procedure for Indemnification. In order to obtain indemnification or
advancement of Expenses pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4, 6 or 8 of this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including in such
request such documentation and information as is reasonably available to
Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Any such
indemnification or advancement of Expenses shall be made promptly, and in any
event within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of
the Indemnitee, unless with respect to requests under Paragraphs 3, 4 or 8 the
Corporation determines within such 60-day period that such Indemnitee did not
meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Paragraph 3 or 4, as the
case may be. Such determination shall be made in each instance by (a) a majority
vote of the directors of the Corporation consisting of persons who are not at
that time parties to the Proceeding (“disinterested directors”), whether or not
a quorum, (b) a majority vote of a quorum of the outstanding shares of stock of
all classes entitled to vote for directors, voting as a single class, which
quorum shall consist of stockholders who are not at that time parties to the
Proceeding, (c) independent legal counsel (who may, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be regular legal counsel to the Corporation), or (d) a court of
competent jurisdiction.

10.     Remedies. The right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses as
provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court
of competent jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in
part, or if no disposition thereof is made within the 60−day period referred to
above in Paragraph 9. Unless otherwise required by law, the burden of proving
that indemnification is not appropriate shall be on the Corporation. Neither the
failure of the Corporation to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances
because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual
determination by the Corporation pursuant to Paragraph 9 that Indemnitee has not
met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or
create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of
conduct. Indemnitee’s expenses (of the type described in the definition of
“Expenses” in Paragraph 2(c)) reasonably incurred in connection with
successfully establishing his/her right to indemnification, in whole or in part,
in any such Proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

11.     Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision
of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of
the Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred by him/her or on his/her behalf in connection with any
Proceeding but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall
nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses, judgments,
fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled.

12.     Subrogation. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the
Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the
rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take
all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such
documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce
such rights.

13.     Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate
upon the later of (a) six years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased
to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation or, at the request of the
Corporation, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or (b) the final
termination of all Proceedings pending on the date set forth in clause (a) in
respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement
of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to
Paragraph 10 of this Agreement relating thereto.

14.     Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification and
advancement of Expenses provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Certification
of Incorporation, the By−Laws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors, the General Corporation Law of Delaware, any other law
(common or statutory), or otherwise, both as to action in his/her official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office for the
Corporation. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the
Corporation from purchasing and maintaining insurance, at its expense, to
protect itself or the Indemnitee against any expense, liability or loss incurred
by it or him in any such capacity, or arising out of his/her status as such,
whether or not the Indemnitee would be indemnified against such expense,
liability or loss under this Agreement; provided that the Corporation shall not
be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise
indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise
actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement
or otherwise.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15.     No Special Rights. Nothing herein shall confer upon Indemnitee any right
to continue to serve as an officer or director of the Corporation for any period
of time or at any particular rate of compensation.
16.     Savings Clause. If this Agreement or any portion thereof shall be
invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee as to Expenses, judgments,
fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any Proceeding
to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that
shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law.

17.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall constitute the original.

18.     Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Corporation and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the
estate, heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives of
Indemnitee.

19.     Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted
for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this
Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

20.     Modification and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended from time to time
to reflect changes in Delaware law or for other reasons. No supplement,
modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in
writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other
provision hereof nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

21.     Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) when
delivered by hand or (ii) if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage
prepaid, on the third day after the date on which it is so mailed:
