FoodLand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the American supermarket chains. For the Australian alternative supermarket chain, see Foodland.

"FoodLand" is the name of at least two American supermarket chains.

[edit] Foodland Hawaii

Foodland Super Market, Ltd. operates 29 stores throughout the state of Hawaii under the "Foodland" and "Sack 'N Save" names. It is headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii. "Food, Family & Friends" is their current slogan. The chain traces its roots back to 1948 when it opened its first store in Honolulu's Market City. By 1967 it would expand statewide. Today they are the only locally-owned supermarket chain in Hawaii.

[edit] FoodLand Eastern America

The Eastern U.S. Foodland operates 80 stores, including 35 throughout West Virginia, 2 in southwestern Virginia, 26 in the Pittsburgh area of western Pennsylvania, 8 in eastern Kentucky, 6 in southeastern Ohio, and 3 in the panhandle of western Maryland. Their slogan is "Close to Home." Every FoodLand location is locally owned and operated, with inventory support from SuperValu. To compete with other grocery chains such as Giant Eagle and Shop 'n Save, FoodLand is now operating gas stations/convience stores in the greater Pittsburgh area known as FueLand. All FueLand locations are located just outside the grocery store. An undetermined number of stores located particularly in Alabama, share the same logo as the West Virginia-based chain but appear to be otherwise separate.

The name "Foodland," being fairly generic in nature and apparently not a registered trademark, appears as all or part of the name of countless unaffiliated grocery stores throughout the country, as well as in Australia, Canada and Thailand [1]
