PROFILE |
 |
Houchens Industries operates stores for shoppers more interested in supper than super. Eschewing the industry trend toward massive superstores, the company's 36 Houchens Markets in Kentucky average less than 20,000 sq. ft. Its more than 160 Save-A-Lot stores (licensed from SUPERVALU) offer limited selections and cover 15,000 sq. ft. or less. The Save-A-Lot stores are in 11 states from Georgia to New York. Houchens also owns more than 40 Jr. Foods convenience stores and 20 Tobacco Shoppe discount cigarette outlets, mostly in Kentucky and Tennessee. Founded as BG Wholesale in 1918 by Ervin Houchens, the company is entirely owned by its employees.
