There are three existing Sav-A-Lots in metro Atlanta. The Deals stores will be the first in the Atlanta market for the St. Louis-based company. SuperValu bought the Deals assets in May 2002 and operates 100 Deals stores, mostly in the Midwest.
The 25-year-old, 1,000-store Sav-A-Lot chain, founded by company CEO Bill Moran, became part of SuperValu with the acquisition of its former parent, Wetterau, in 1992. Sav-A-Lot stores operate in 36 states.
SuperValu and Delhaize Group, parent of Food Lion, had owned the 17 closed Cub Foods stores.
