Financial Flexibility
Opening any new business requires a significant investment, but Save A Lot has streamlined our costs to ensure you get the most for your money.

The investment to open a grocery store with Save A Lot goes toward covering costs such as:
- Store equipment
- Leasehold improvements
- Inventory
- A security deposit
- Working capital
Multi-Unit Opportunities Available
With our flexible requirements, many Retail Partners opt to open multiple locations at once. This option is a great way to cultivate a more extensive customer base and quickly build a strong following in your area. A multi-unit investment requires more capital, and it also requires dedication.
