Every day low prices
Every day low prices at our price superstores is not an advertising gimmick.
It is the direct result of SUPERVALU’s buying power and a commitment to offer
the best price across our products every day. By using warehouse-style aisles
and pallet case displays, stores pass on savings to customers and still provide
broad product selection and quality.
Key markets: sh
SUPERVALU operates 202 price superstores in key markets including Minneapolis, St. Louis,
Washington D.C., Cincinnati and Chicago – where we hold leading market share positions. Customers
award our stores high marks on our low prices across the board at Cub Foods, Shop ’n Save,
Shopper’s Food Warehouse, Metro and bigg’s. Every day low prices on more than 30,000 products,
backed by a strong commitment to the best perishables, differentiate our price superstores.
Averaging 63,000 square feet, consumers find savings and selection in every department. During
Fiscal 2002, we opened 11 stores in our key markets adding to our strong market positions.
Customers love
fresh produce
Aided by global sourcing of product, a wide variety of fresh produce is available year round.
Today, our stores offer exceptional savings on more than 185 fruit and 125 vegetable items –
as well as specialty produce such as organic and soy-based products for the health conscious
consumer. Produce arrives on the shelf often no more than five days after harvest, sometimes
traveling more than 3,000 miles. Last year alone, SUPERVALU sold nearly one billion bananas.
We’ve even taken our produce to the parking lots and offered truckload sales during peak
crop harvest times – to offer the absolute freshest product at the best price.
