Richfood Holdings, Inc.
 PROFILE
It should come as no shock that Richfood Holdings is trying to get rich through food. The company is one of the US's largest wholesale food distributors, providing name-brand and private-label food and nonfood items to about 1,400 regional and independent grocers along the East Coast, from New York to North Carolina. It also operated three East Coast supermarket chains (Farm Fresh, Shoppers Food Warehouse, and Metro) before being acquired by SUPERVALU, the nation's #1 food distributor, in mid-1999. SUPERVALU has integrated the chains into its retail division. Richfood offers customers such services as consulting, customized software, financing, and marketing assistance.
