This is more of a food distribution chain than a supermarket one. Instead of huge herpmarts that seem to dominate the entire area and ruin local economies, SuperValu provides support and distribution to local neighbour grocery stores as well as operate their own brand of grocery store. SuperValu operates over 2,500 grocery stores, 800 over pharmacies, 117 fuel centers and provide distribution to more than 2,000 other independent stores. So if you are looking for a reliable supplier for your grocery store, you should take a good look at what they are offering. In my opinion, I think they are more of an logistic company than anything else. Which is great, since all supermarket chains are actually logistics companies anyhow. Their survival in this competitive industry is very much dependent on whether they can efficiently and effectively distribute their goods across the country. Not an easy task considering that they need to serve over 4000 stores.
