Hi leboeuf - Welcome to the Value Investing thread and I look forward to your continuing comments on SVU. Here is some recent news. I still like their distribution & logistics subsidiary. To me, this is their hidden crown jewel and a steady contributor to their cash flow. Re: SuperValu Inc. Common Stock(NYSE: SVU ) Didn't know they even had an insurance subsidiary. Good sale by the company. ( riskplanners.com ) Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. Acquires Risk Planners, Inc. (a Supervalue subsidiary) finance.yahoo.com From the article"...Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (NYSE:AJG - News) today announced the acquisition of Risk Planners, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SUPERVALU INC., in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed...." ------------------------------------------------------------------ C&K Switches to Supervalu - Mar 1, 2011 supermarketnews.com From the article:"...Unified Grocers here said Monday it will lose a retail member in the Pacific Northwest when C&K Market, Brookings, Ore., switches to Supervalu as its supplier. Executives at C&K and Supervalu could not be reached for comment. C&K operates 61 stores, of which 40 operate in Oregon and 22 in Northern California. Although the chain's total volume is estimated at $460 million, a Unified spokesman said the member-owned cooperative would lose "less than 3%" of its $4 billion volume. Minneapolis-based Supervalu will reportedly supply C&K's stores out of a facility in Gresham, Ore...." ======================================================= Nice to see that their logistics & distribution segment is expanding their reach into No. California and Oregon. I wonder if SVU has any plans to open up new stores in Oregon? EKS

don't post here often but i see you mentioned SWY and i happened to pick up some shares recently. locally the stores we have are VONS and i have to admit that i dont shop at VONS because a major competitor is only 1 block from our home. we do a lot of our shopping at Costco but i find myself almost daily at the local store. if it were the case that VONS was the nearest that is where i would go --- it just isnt the case. the VONS stores are very nice and a bit pricier --- but very well laid out. i happen to notice that the local VONS offers delivery. i havent checked into the cost but the first time you order online the delivery is free. not sure how many people take advantage of this. i may give it try. SWY has been buying back shares and given that they are a household name for as long as i can remember (i'm 59) i think the stock is a buy here and will be back around 22 by year end.
