“We are transforming Supervalu into a national retail powerhouse that embraces changing demographics and keeps the needs of the customer central to our mission,” Noodle said.
In order to do this, Supervalu intends to invest US$1bn in fiscal 2007, as it integrates the recently acquired Albertsons stores and expands its existing retail formats.

Addressing stockholders, Supervalu said that it plans to open between 101 and 125 new stores in its various formats, in addition to remodeling approximately 329 stores.
