Do You Have What it Takes?
Save-A-Lot looks for a proven track record of successful experience in management. Many of our licensed retailers have grocery experience. Others have been successful in a wide variety of other industries. Whether a store is in an urban, suburban or rural market, the key to retailer success is the ability to follow a well-defined plan with energy and enthusiasm.
The secret to
Save-A-Lot’s success lies in the simplicity and efficiency of its business model. Continually refined and tested for more than 30 years, we focus on driving down costs to give our independently owned retailers a competitive edge.
“The primary reason I chose Save-A-Lot was because I really liked the simplicity of it. I felt like it was a viable format where an independent could compete with much larger stores. And the support from Save-A-Lot is fantastic - from retail accounting and the P.O.S. system, to all the merchandising support... it’s just like a football playbook. It’s easy to follow.”
Smaller stores - The average Save-A-Lot store is 14,000 to 18,000 square feet - much smaller than a conventional grocery store. This reduces startup costs, inventory, occupancy and other operating costs.
Hard discount - We carry the food items shoppers buy most often. By offering approximately 2,000 items, we create unparalleled efficiencies throughout the supply chain, enabling our retailers to offer customers the lowest possible prices.
Save-A-Lot exclusive brands - Over 70% of our store is devoted to our own exclusive brands. These trademarked brands offer substantial savings because they don't carry the costly advertising expenses built into national brands.
Buying power - Our large network of stores and the consolidation of entire categories into single items give Save-A-Lot incredible buying power.
Handling efficiencies – Our products are ordered, shipped and merchandised in custom cartons, cutting labor costs and streamlining operations.
