Hard-discount grocery chain Save-A-Lot is planning a new 140,000-s.f. food distribution center in Aurora, Colo. The Supervalu-owned company says the expansion will allow it to “more efficiently bring fresh quality food options to local neighborhoods.” The center, at 15965 East 32nd Ave., Suite B, is expected to open in June.
There currently are 15 Save-A-Lot stores in the Denver market. The new distribution center will help support the company’s growth plans in Denver and beyond.
“This project represents a significant investment in Denver and the surrounding markets,” said Ritchie Casteel, president and CEO of Save-A-Lot. “We are excited about the opportunity to more efficiently serve our current stores as well as opening up the area for growth possibilities in the future.”
Save-A-Lot currently services its stores in the Denver area out of the company’s distribution center in Dallas. The addition of the new facility in Aurora will dramatically reduce transportation expenses, shorten delivery times and better position Save-A-Lot for future growth, according to the St. Louis-based grocer.
Save-A-Lot currently operates more than 1,300 stores across 39 states.
