The National Mango Board named H-E-B, Rouses, Nugget Market and Superior Grocers as 2026 Mango Retailers of the Year. Each of the four honorees will receive a commemorative plaque.
Why it matters
The board said selecting a single retailer each year is challenging, so it chose to honor four partners across large, medium, small and specialty grocery segments. The recognition highlights retail efforts to promote mangos to U.S. shoppers.
One ¾ cup serving of mango contains 70 calories, with 50 percent of the daily value for vitamin C, 15 percent for folate and copper, 8 percent for vitamin A and vitamin B6, and 7 percent for fiber. The honorees were selected for sales performance, merchandising, marketing and consumer education, though individual sales figures were not disclosed.
