Save Mart Supermarkets announces new corporate name

Save Mart Supermarkets, Modesto, Calif., said it changed its corporate name to The Save Mart Companies. The company operates a number of retail banners, including Save Mart, Lucky, Lucky California, FoodMaxx, S-Mart and MaxxValue. Besides providing a clear distinction between its Save Mart stores and the parent company, the new company name better represents the collective strength of the corporate entity, the company noted.

In addition to its retail operations, The Save Mart Companies said it owns and operates three distribution centers and the SMART Refrigerated Transport, which delivers goods to the entire family of 205 stores throughout California and Northern Nevada. In addition, The Save Mart Companies is a partner in Super Store Industries, which operates a distribution center in Lathrop, and the Sunnyside Farms Dairies in Fairfield and Turlock, which produce fluid milk, ice cream and various dairy bi-products distributed under the Sunnyside Farms brand.

The new corporate name comes with a new logo and website, www.TheSaveMartCompanies.com, which will launch July 15.
