Top 50 Small Chains and Independents
SN has, for the first time, compiled a list of the top 50 independent and small-chain supermarket operators whose volumes fall below $1 billion. These are often local, community-based businesses that are employee- or family-owned, though in some cases they may operate on a regional basis or be owned by an investment group. Most of these companies have virtually all their money tied up in a single business — supermarkets — and they range in size from single-store operators to chains with more than 100 locations.
To compile the 50 Independents list, SN consulted wholesalers and other sources, and contacted each company on the list in an effort to verify information. The volumes represent estimated totals for the fiscal year that most closely approximates calendar 2009. Chains that are owned by companies whose primary business is wholesaling are not included on this list.
