The grocery store industry is booming. Currently estimated at $758bn, the grocery store industry is one of the few industries that wasn’t affected by the pandemic and is valued for its recession resistance.
Save A Lot is uniquely positioned to see the highest growth rates in retail as part of the discount grocery store sector. What’s more, this sector only has a 3 percent market share, so there is plenty of room for newcomers to thrive. The Save A Lot team is there to help you get started and stay on the right track.
We value efficiency and know that our Retail Partners want to get the most for their money. Our approach is based on making owning a grocery store simple for both our customers and Retail Partners.
- We operate 13 best-in-class distribution centers to keep our stores stocked with the products they need. By controlling our distribution, the ordering process is simple; we can provide industry-leading service levels and consistently low prices.
- Our stores have a smaller footprint. This advantage allows for an easier shopping experience for our customers and lower overhead costs for our Retail Partners.
- We provide our Retail Partners with everything they need to run their store efficiently and effectively: valuable resources such as site selection support, operations, and distribution support, a detailed operations manual, ongoing training as needed, and so much more.
Grocery Store Licensing
Save A Lot stands out against the competition for a number of reasons. Since we’re a grocery store license opportunity, we don’t have franchise fees; we also offer lower prices, in-house distribution, operations support, flexibility to localize your business, and more freedom to run it.
We’re proud to be more flexible than a franchise. Our Retail Partners have the freedom to grow their business, and we’re there to support them every step of the way. We’re constantly innovating to make our business model the most efficient for customers and Retail Partners alike.
