Our Private Brand Process

Our licensing opportunity’s brand process includes packaging designs that create efficiency for the store while delivering a great customer experience. This means we offer: 

• Easily identifiable products: We ensure all brand logos are visible to employees when offloading pallets and customers for easy identification. 
• Display ready cases: Our products do not require additional tools to open. This makes it easier for employees to handle and for customers to open without disturbing contents.
• Sufficient stock: With access to 12 of our distribution centers, your store will always have enough inventory to quickly replace and replenish shelves as needed, making it easy for your customers to always get what they need.
• Convenience: Our shops are smaller compared to traditional grocery retailers. With an average of 3,000 Stock Keeping Units (SKUs), our retail partners offer convenience to their customers as products are easy to find, reducing their shopping time.
• Recyclable packaging: Our packaging is not hard to break down, making recycling easy. 

Smaller Footprint Stores

Not only does operate a smaller size store allow a more effortless shopping experience, but it also lowers overhead costs for our retail partners while giving customers value for high-quality products at a lower price. 

Our smaller footprint of 12,000 to 18,000 square feet enables Save A Lot retail partners to save money on costs. With the efficient use of space, retail partners pay lower upfront costs to build or remodel. They also benefit from lower rent, lighting, refrigeration maintenance efficiencies, and utility costs. 

Unlike other opportunities, Save A Lot’s licensing program opportunity is designed to help retailer partners succeed in the grocery industry. This and more is what sets our grocery license opportunity apart from other retailers!
