Shop 'n Save Supermarkets (branded as SHOP 'N SAVE) is a discount grocery retailer based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, operating approximately 70 independently owned locations throughout the Mid-Atlantic area.
History
Established in 1968 as one of the pioneering discount grocery chains in the United States, Shop 'n Save provides a selection of both national brands and private label items. The product supply is managed by distributor UNFI, which holds the licensing rights for the brand. In 1977, SuperValu expanded into the Pittsburgh market by acquiring the wholesaler Charley Brothers, whose family continues to hold Shop 'n Save licenses.
Shop 'n Save offers a loyalty initiative known as the Perks Card, allowing shoppers to accumulate fuel savings at participating Sunoco and SHOP 'n SAVE Express fuel stations, benefit from exclusive grocery promotions, and access downloadable manufacturer coupons. Additionally, a mobile platform delivers timely notifications and special offers directly to customers.
In March 2010, the chain launched an online cookbook titled Our Kitchen Stories, showcasing culinary recipes from regions including Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and Northern West Virginia.
Following the 2017 merger between Royal Ahold and Delhaize Group, several Food Lion stores owned by Delhaize near Ahold's Martin's outlets were divested to SuperValu and subsequently converted into Shop 'n Save locations. These stores function independently from those originally established in the Pittsburgh vicinity.
