Moran started out at Tomboy Wholesalers, the Save-A-Lot chain, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Supervalu in 1992.
 
Bill Shaner joined Supervalu in 1984 and has since held a variety of positions of increasing responsibility, including president of the Maryland division, president and chief operating officer of the former Laneco division, and president of the Central region.


“Bill is an excellent choice to lead Save-A-Lot at this exciting time in its history. Save-A-Lot has a strong future and complements Supervalu’s multi-format retail portfolio with its innovative merchandising programs including the integration of general merchandise, expansion of produce offerings, successful consumer awareness programs, and the banner’s licensee remodeling program.


“I am confident that with his diverse experience and industry insight, Bill is a great leader for the next phase of Save-A-Lot,” added Moran.
