Who is Save-A-Lot

Save-A-Lot provides the highest quality products at savings up to 40% over conventional grocery stores. We can do this because of our edited-assortment strategy. This strategy allows us to carry both exclusive labels and national brands, however where traditional stores carry several sizes or varieties, we carry only the most popular size. This focus on operational efficiencies keeps operating costs below market averages and gives us a competitive edge.

The Wall Street Journal says, ''Save-A-Lot has quietly become one of the nation's most successful grocery chains...''
