Save A Lot, Leevers Supermarkets Expand Collaboration to Reach Hispanic Communities

By: via Business Wire

The new Save A Lot y Mas store format opens in St. Louis with expanded produce, meat and bakery options

As part of its ongoing strategic collaboration, Save A Lot, one of the largest discount grocery chains in the U.S., and Leevers Supermarkets announced the opening of a new store format called Save A Lot y Mas. Located at 9430 Midland Blvd. in Overland, Mo., the store builds on the core Save A Lot concept, offering an expanded selection of fresh Hispanic produce, specialty meats and bakery items designed to deliver both cultural relevance and everyday value.

The new concept, with two additional locations in Colorado, will operate as a test-and-learn format with the potential for further introduction into other Save A Lot locations serving a large Hispanic customer base.

“Save A Lot y Mas is an extension of our work, expanding on our commitment to delivering quality, culturally meaningful grocery experiences at affordable prices,” said Bill Mayo, Save A Lot Chief Operating Officer. “We’ll continue to test and learn as we expand our product offerings and store formats into other areas.”

The store concept is the next iteration in a continuing collaboration between Save A Lot and Leevers to better serve the Hispanic community and follows the introduction of the Ahorra Mucho store format in Aurora, Colo., last fall. Save A Lot y Mas incorporates learnings from Ahorra Mucho and blends these best practices within the successful value-driven Save A Lot platform customers know and love. Initial concept features include an enhanced and diverse produce assortment, a curated meat selection with popular cuts and ready-to-cook marinated options, and partnerships with local bakeries to offer fresh-baked sweet breads and other authentic bakery options.

Save A Lot y Mas will also introduce updated graphics and advertising designed to better connect with Spanish-speaking shoppers. Spanish will be prominently featured throughout the store and across marketing materials, including in-store signage and digital promotions.

“Save A Lot y Mas is part of our ongoing concept development efforts to better meet the needs of Hispanic shoppers,” said Jon Koontz, Chief Operating Officer at Leevers Supermarkets. “We’re excited to bring these offerings to the vibrant St. Louis community. Using what we learn here, and in our locations in Colorado, we hope to be able to bring insights about how best to serve this growing customer base to the broader Save A Lot network.”

To celebrate the opening, the store will host a carnival July 9 in the store parking lot, beginning at 8 a.m. CT, with fun activities for all ages including a bounce house, cotton candy machine, face painting, taco truck, the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile, tasty samples, coupons and more. Community members and shoppers, alongside representatives from the St. Louis Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, will celebrate with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 9 a.m.

Save A Lot y Mas in Overland is open daily from 6 a.m. – 9 p.m. Customers can learn more by visiting SaveALot.com.
