3 Things to Watch
Source: SUPERVALU
Слайд 2Different Parts of the Company
Слайд 31. Save-A-Lot Same-Store Sales
Though only accounting for a quarter of revenue,
this represents the greatest hope for future growth.
Слайд 51. Same-Store-Sales Trends
Because sales for last year’s second quarter were so
poor, and because of the positive momentum the company seems to be showing, investors should be hoping for at least a 2% uptick in same-store-sales.
Слайд 62. Keeping an Eye on Wal-Mart’s New Stores

Слайд 72. The Wal-Mart Threat
Over the past 10 years, Wal-Mart has become

The company now accounts for 25% of all grocery purchases in the U.S.
The company’s Neighborhood Markets look to compete for the same type of locations and demographics that Save-A-Lot serves.

This will require some extra homework on the
part of the individual investor.

If the stores are gaining traction, it could mean a loss of potential business for Save-A-Lot.
Слайд 93. Other Grocery Brands
The company’s Cub Foods and Rainbow branded stores
are expanding in the Twin Cities.

the best margins, they are also the segment that’s had the hardest time maintaining sales.
A recent purchase of stores in Minneapolis may signal renewed interest in non-Save-A-Lot brands.
Listen in to the conference call to see how management wants to move forward with these brands.
