Marketing - Food & Drink
French term or phrase: rester dans le combat de la distribution
"Letter" in a marketing brochure from the Director of a small company that produces organic fruit juices:

Continuons à œuvrer pour que nos magasins d’alimentation biologique restent dans le combat de la distribution, le lieu où nos consommateurs trouveront la meilleure réponse à leurs besoins.

Thanks in advance.

Explanation:
I think you might be parsing this incorrectly. There should be a comma, "nos magasins restent, dans le combat de la distribution, le lieu..."

The idea is that as far as food retail is concerned organic stores provide what consumers are looking for.

My suggestion may not be the best way to render this. It's more to give you an idea of what is meant.
