The Save A Lot Business Development team was proud to participate in two can’t-miss events this year — the 2025 National Grocers’ Association (NGA) Show and our very own Save A Lot Food Show. Both events provided incredible opportunities to meet with existing Retail Partners, engage with store operators and industry partners, and showcase what makes Save A Lot a standout choice in the grocery industry.
Connecting with Industry Leaders at the NGA Show
The National Grocers’ Association Show is one of the premier events for independent grocery store operators, bringing together industry professionals, suppliers and retail leaders to discuss the future of grocery. Save A Lot was proud to be part of the 2025 event, where our team connected with grocery store operators looking for ways to enhance their businesses and bottom line.
During the conference, had the opportunity to speak directly with independent grocers about how Save A Lot’s licensing model provides the strength of a national brand while allowing for local ownership and flexibility. Unlike independent stores and franchises, Save A Lot’s model enables entrepreneurs to own and operate their stores while benefiting from our operational support, efficient supply chain, and access to our high-quality private-label products.
Throughout the event, our team engaged in insightful conversations about the evolving grocery landscape, industry trends, and the growing demand for discount grocery stores. As food prices fluctuate and consumers continue to seek value-driven shopping options, Save A Lot stands out as a trusted name in the industry. We were eager to share how our streamlined operations, best-in-class distribution network, and award-winning private label offerings make Save A Lot an attractive choice for independent grocery store operators looking to strengthen their businesses.
Strengthening Relationships at the Save A Lot Food Show
In addition to the NGA Show, we also welcomed Retail Partners and industry leaders to our very own Save A Lot Food Show. This exclusive event is designed to bring together our Retail Partners, suppliers, and business development experts to highlight the latest innovations in the Save A Lot system.
At the Food Show, attendees had the chance to sample new products, learn about updates to our private label offerings, and discover ways to enhance store operations. The event served as a valuable networking opportunity, allowing Retail Partners to exchange ideas, gain insights from industry experts, and explore ways to maximize their success with Save A Lot.
One of the key highlights was showcasing our private-label products, which continue to set Save A Lot apart in the discount grocery space. Our commitment to quality and affordability means that Retail Partners can offer customers outstanding products at unbeatable prices — an essential advantage in today’s competitive grocery market. The Food Show also allowed our team to provide updates on operational efficiencies and new support initiatives designed to help our Retail Partners thrive.
Why These Events Matter for Business Development
Both the NGA Show and the Save A Lot Food Show play a critical role in our development. These events allow us to meet face-to-face with grocery professionals who are interested in joining the Save A Lot network, while also reinforcing our commitment to supporting existing Retail Partners.
By engaging with independent grocery store operators and industry leaders, we can share firsthand how Save A Lot’s model is designed for long-term success. Our streamlined operations, hands-on support, and strong private label program create a unique opportunity for those looking to enter or expand in the grocery industry.
As we continue to grow, Save A Lot remains dedicated to fostering strong relationships with our Retail Partners and expanding our presence in communities nationwide.
