- Goodfood Market Corp (GDDFF) has reduced net leverage from 8.2 turns last year to 2.1 turns this quarter, decreasing the risk of its capital structure.
- The company has introduced new customer-centric initiatives, such as doubling the lineup of recipes on its value menu and launching 'Camp Goodfood' to enhance customer engagement and satisfaction.
