Real Estate Opportunities with Save A Lot

Partner with a Leading Discount Grocery Concept

Save A Lot is expanding across the U.S., seeking high-quality retail locations that fit our efficient value-focused grocery model. We partner with landlords, brokers and developers to identify sites that bring accessible, affordable household items and groceries to communities while providing long-term anchor stability for retail centers.

Why Invest in the Save A Lot Grocery Store License Opportunity?

The $883.1 billion grocery store industry has been growing steadily for years, with a projected growth to continue well into the future. People rely on grocery stores, making them more recession-resistant than other forms of retail. This was especially evident during the pandemic – customers were often comfortable making trips to their local grocery store even while avoiding other businesses.

Our grocery store licensing model stands out in the industry. Our independent retail partners enjoy comprehensive support as they build their businesses from the ground up. Our model is designed to save time and money while allowing you to quickly see a strong return on your investment.

Real Estate Guidance

Location is a key success factor for retail businesses. Our team of real estate professionals is ready to assist licensees with their real estate needs, providing expert knowledge, time & cost savings, and industry best practices around lease negotiations. A store’s location, lease terms, and financial agreements positively influence future business profitability.

Ongoing Support

Save A Lot’s corporate and field support teams provide independent retail partners with the services and solutions to help them position their business for growth: from real estate site selection to store construction and retail partner onboarding to field operations and marketing and merchandising support. Save A Lot does whatever it takes to keep our independent retail partners on the right track.

Right Assortment & Dedicated Distribution

On average, we have fewer than 3,000 SKUs per store, tailoring our in-store selection to the families and communities we serve. Fewer SKUs allow much greater operational efficiency, higher velocity, and increased buying power. Our 13 dedicated distribution centers supply fresh meat, produce, and exclusive private label brands to all operating store units – providing best‑in‑class shopping.
