Why Invest in a Grocery Store Wholesaler like Save A Lot?
There has never been a better time to invest in a strong grocery store business model like the licensing opportunity offered by Save a Lot.

The grocery store industry has been growing for years and is often valued for its recession resistance – with a $811 billion revenue it is one of the few that didn’t take a significant hit during the pandemic. The independent grocery segment has continued to gain market share, currently accounting for 33% of total US grocery sales. Independent grocers contribute more than $255 billion to the economy, or 1.2% of the US GDP.
