Jeff Noddle, SuperValu's chief executive officer, says his company is committed to a "rapid expansion of our Save-A- Lot extreme value combo format." In a recent quarterly report to shareholders, the Eden Prairie, MN-based food wholesaler and retailer says all but two of the new stores are its Save-A-Lot stores, which combine grocery and general merchandise items. This expansion does not include the 17 acquired Texas locations intended for conversion to Save-A-Lot licensed stores during the year, the company says.
As of June 19, SuperValu has some 1,239 Save-A-Lot stores, of which 322 stores were combination stores compared to 57 combination stores at the end of last year's first quarter.
