Limited Assortment
Save A Lot stands out from the competition for many reasons, but one of the strongest advantages we have is our limited stock-keeping unit (SKU) strategy. Fewer SKUs allow for greater operational efficiency, higher velocity, and increased buying power.
We utilize a reduced SKU strategy of offering 3,000 SKUs. Traditional retail grocery businesses have between 15,000–60,000 SKUs in their stores. Our reduced SKU assortment provides a more efficient shopping experience for customers, allowing them to get in and out quickly, and simplifies operations for our Retail Partners.
This limited SKU strategy ties into our highly efficient grocery store licensing business model, which helps pass along these deep savings to customers.
