California fires: Some Arizona grocery stores are limiting purchases

Suppliers are reallocating materials to meet the needs of people displaced by the California fires, says an ASU supply chain management expert.

In this story aired Jan. 12, 2025, on FOX 10 Phoenix:

Ten thousand homes are just suddenly gone and those folks have to go shopping in different places. They need to go to different food stores, and I think a lot of the suppliers are going to have to rethink where they send the materials — the food and other kinds of things that they used to have.
