2020 Top 75 — Sales Overview

Table notes:

The two companies not shown here — Affiliated Foods and C&S Wholesale Grocers — reported no company, licensed or franchised stores in either the latest or preceding fiscal year or both, or Supermarket News could not discern accurate store totals or types from company statements or other reports.

A = Totals exclude counts for Inserra Supermarkets Inc., Village Supermarkets Inc. and Saker ShopRites Inc., as those figures are also included in Wakefern Corp. Numbers representing aggregate cooperative number of stores.
