SUPERVALU TAKES OVER ROUNDY'S DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS

Midwestern grocery retailers Supervalu and Roundy's announced July 28 that they will transition approximately 50 independent retailer locations currently served by Roundy's from its Stevens Point and Oconomowoc distribution centers in Wisconsin to SUPERVALU's Green Bay and Pleasant Prairie, Wis., distribution centers.

The transition will involve a range of grocery retail banners across Wisconsin, but excludes independently owned and operated Pick 'n Save retailers, which will continue to be served by Roundy's. The transition is expected to be completed by September.
