I know the one on Wade Hampton near the Ryans in Greer, is doing this, anyone know which of the other stores in the area will be doing this as well. Isn't SAL like Aldi's in a way??? My Mom said she was told they were opening the middle of October, at least the one on WH.
Rite-Aid and grocery chain Save-A-Lot are testing a co-branded store concept at 10 of the South Carolina area stores. Structured as a licensing agreement, the deal will see 10 Rite-Aid stores renamed Save-A-Lot Food Stores/Rite-Aid Pharmacy. Stores will continue to be owned and operated by Rite Aid.
I'm not a big fan of Aldi's, though I know many are, will buy a few items there if I'm near one. This seems to be similar, mostly private label brands, at least on the SAL side. From the article, below it seems they will just be putting private label groceries in to the RA stores.
Rite Aid will continue to offer health and beauty products, including its private brand items, in these stores along with Save-A-Lot grocery products. The Rite Aid pharmacies will operate as usual.
Is there any SAL stores operating in the Greenville area? I've never seen one, but being new to the area, I may have missed them??? Anyone who's shopped in one care to comment about them, their products and pricing and how they compare to local grocery chains?
I thought there was one somewhere on the westside or near Berea maybe but i've never been in it. Now however I have been in one in Chicago but that was a long time ago.

I think there are some Sav-a-lot stores in Greenville. One in Berea and one perhaps in Taylors or Greer. They do seem similar to Aldi. Only store brands, super low prices. They do a brisk business in Berea from what I have heard.
Save-A-Lot carries both the national brands you know and love, but also brands exclusive to Save-A-Lot. All of them are sold at discount prices so you get what you need at a price you can afford.
Find discounts on Healthy Choice meals, Beech Nut baby food, Hunt’s ketchup and spaghetti sauce, Cheerios, Claussen pickles and other popular brands.
Save-A-Lot private label brands include:
Ginger Evans, for baking product deals
Discounted dairy products from Coburn Farms
Inexpensive bread options by Baked Fresh
Seafood savings from the Port Side brand
Personally, there's about 4 brands I buy from their list. If they sell eggs, milk and other staple commodities that you don't care about being name brand (like salt, or sugar) if it's cheap enough, not out of the way, I'd go.
There seems to be 3 in what they say is the "general area" Greenville on White Horse, one in Inman, and one in Spartanburg.
Also, FYI, if you sign up for their Smart Shopper Club, they give you a coupon for $5.00 off $25.00 or more purchase!
They also have printable coupons for their own brands, and they will accept manufacturer coupons for the national brands they do carry. I don't think Aldi's accepts any coupons, correct me if I'm wrong.
So SAL is looking a little better, but will have to check them out before I make a final judgement

A former Bi-Lo exec is opening Sav-A-Lot's in the Upstate. There is one in Oconee County and one opening in Laurens.
The Rite-Aid concept looks like a good one. Make sure you buy your vitamins from Rite-Aid (Rite-Aid or GNC), since they are made right here in Greenville!

Yup and I see at least one other former BI-LO coworker in that pic too.
